Baby Massage, sorta

Eliana gets a pretend massage from the professionally capable hands of my eldest daughter.

Milan and Owen are more interested in that hole. What's it for? Your face? Oh, FUN!!

Josh was primarily interested in the photo op, and Astrid? Far too busy chewing on a book to care...

Spoon Dolls

Park Morning

Start with a little sand-play, buckets, shovels, and trucks all round...

Take a break for a little sustenance...

And then on to the racing around!! Okay, I confess this one was totally posed, but she really did go down the slide a dozen times. And loved it.

The only trick to getting a cute Joshua picture is finding the moment when he's still for that split-second. Gotcha!

Owen's still heavily into Peek-a-boo. PEEK!

Awww...

She's a practiced Big Sister, Eliana, and the little boys appreciate it!

From our Gallery Outing, belatedly

Owen entertains himself...

and the couple at the next table, and the servers, and some of the kitchen staff...

PEEK!

Bubbles!

Not entirely sure if Astrid's getting a stream of bubbles or a shower of spit. Looks like she's not entirely sure, either, but he's trying! (For bubbles.)

Rock-climbing

... is a challenging sport!

Found old pictures

Cleaning my memory card...

Out and About

Ella and Josh are DELIGHTED to be on the bus!!!

Owen is somewhat less thrilled.
"Yeah, yeah. More pictures. Aren't you done with that camera? And aren't we there yet?"

Why, yes we are. And look! The mammoth Art Gallery spider has had BABIES!!!

After having absorbed sufficient culture, it was time to absorb some food at the Blue Cactus.
You have to eat some salad before you get any chicken wings. Good thing Josh likes salad!

But when they start to look like this?
It's time to go home... Yawn...

Paint...

Not just for paper any more!

Tout le gang

People tend to stare as we pass by. Can't imagine why...

Spring is springing
