More time with Calvin and April showers

April showers bring....indoor painting.

My little artist.

Here are a few parting shots from our visit with Calvin. Our two little monsters.

Playing on West Beach

We took Liam and Calvin to the West side of Guemes to play in the sand.

They quickly stripped down and got to work.

Two friends in the sand.

Our little sand angels.

Calvin's visit

Last weekend, our dear friends Emma, Calvin and little Bliss came to visit. We took them out to Guemes for two nights to play. Here, our little monkeys pretend to be in the zoo.

Calvin and Liam visit our local donkeys and ham it up for the camera.

Concentrating.

More Easter Weekend

Liam and our friend, Christian, show off their loot after the Easter egg hunt on the beach.

After our egg hunt, we rowed out to Strawberry Island for a little exploration.

Christian and Liam dig for beach treasures.

Happy Easter!

Last weekend, we went out to Cypress with our friends, the Schwartz family. Clara (8), Christian (4) and Liam had a great time, despite the rather stormy weather at times. Here we do some egg dying (with a little help from Carrie).

Found one!

The Easter bunny had a great time hiding eggs on the beach.

Visit with Brigid and Ridley and spring yard work

Two weekends ago, our friend Brigid came to visit for the weekend. We enjoyed walks around Bellingham, working in the garden and playing with the dogs. Here, Liam throws rocks in the river for Ridley.


More yardwork....Liam and Gabe prepare an area in the front yard for flowers.

Serious workers.

Working in the yard

This is the story of three little children who ended up in the bathtub and turned the water brown!
This is what led up to three little children in a dirty, brown bath! Liam, and friends Julia and Leah wanted to "garden" while we were out BBQing the other night. Pretty soon, they were in the dirt, digging, stomping and having a great time!

Getting ready to move that dirt!

Here are Gabe and Liam the next day, getting more soil for our new, raised beds.
