3/15


Photos from March.

"Help."
Up all night and trying on hats.


C and her cousin in January. My mother in law found it and texted to me. So sweet.

Easter Weekend


Easter weekend. Starting with Sunday brunch at Cured:




Pretty restaurant; ok food.


Taking their photo together is always:



Knuckle dimples.


"What do you have to do to get a cup of coffee around here?"


Looking for C's. Got one!




Jumping.






Prepare!


Favorite photo to date.





Luke was out of town Friday and Saturday - it was a drizzly and cold (60 degrees) weekend so we stayed inside and put berries on our fingers


looked for C's


and played the piano


Braved the grocery store. NOTE TO GROCERY STORES:  Please have a dedicated two-kid cart corral in the parking lot. I can't lug them inside only to have none available! (I cruised the parking lot until I found one). Here: C's on-command smile and Josie's look of weary resignation.


Checked on our bean plant sans pants.


C insisted on pushing the stroller after yoga = Mommy's one hour break. NAMASTE.


Insisted that Play-Doh was YUCKY by lightly touching to tongue fifteen times then shaking head in disgust.

Whipped up Blender Chocolate Mousse from One Pot (recipe here, minus peppermint extract and candies). So delicious! Broke soft-boiled eggs over asparagus with fingerling potatoes - springtime on a plate. Listened to Happier At Home and caught up some New Yorkers and culled a big bag of clothes for the Goodwill and watched the latest Nashville - how can one show have so much happen yet nothing at all?

We are looking forward to a lot of travel and time with friends and family -- hope you have a wonderful new season!

Spring in San Antonio



Yes we go to Pearl every weekend. C wore her hat almost the entire time. The night before she stayed up from 9-12:30, running around the house, insisting we read every book. Then things devolved -- but who among us hasn't ended an evening naked in the kitchen eating 16 ounces of strawberry yogurt?

Blueberry muffin from Sol y Luna


Hats.


"Mohk".

Peeking into the Culinary Institute of America.


Concentrating.


Pulling herself over to Josie -- "HI!".


Lately C has been laying down the law with Josie and telling her all she needs to know around the house:

NO GIGI MINE GIGI!

CUCKOLD, GIGI! (careful, Josie!)


Josie and I spent some time on the porch while C napped.










This was the very first time I've seen her push to all fours - and my camera was ready!


Back to rolling.


Going to count the cats.


This kid.




She ate about a cup of avocado. #attagirl


Pizza from Florio's that reminded us why we don't order pizza from Florio's.


Pearl Redux with "ha", "bah-pah", and "my neck-iss".


Hitting up the Block, food truck park and patio bar, in the afternoon to hear Mike play:





This is so perfect I can't stand it.












Dessert at StoneWerks.
