Hans & Josiah at Fort Adams

Skirmish (the GAR won)


Josiah's first lesson in digital photography


Josiah's Try #15--not too bad (we rent him out for special events)

Awaiting the birthday cake


Hans (smiling!!!!) and his birthday cake


Trying on hats at Fort Adams


My son don't go for no butternut homespun forage cap, he's a Yankee!

Go, 1st Minnesota!

The new toddler transporter. Annika loves sitting in the front--no more looking at the back of Josiah's head. Josiah's seat is the bench just behind her. And no, there aren't two sets of nicely tanned legs attached to the handlebar, though the feet would be handy to hang bags from!

Looks like fun. I love the Josiah-taken pictures. How is he with a video camera? I could use an assistant this weekend.

Joe is getting more technically adept all the time! I'm glad he can take pix now cause I'm always glad to get a glimpse of YOU too! Hans is really perfecting his smile. Joe looks like a little Amish boy in the straw hat. Annie's on the move...

Great job, Josiah! I loved the new photos. I agree, Josiah does look Amish, except they don't wear plaid.
Hans, you are still very good looking! Happy birthday ~ your cake looked delicious.
As always, I love the new photos. It makes it easier to be so far away. (This goes for all of my kids. :-))

Looks like a neat stroller.

I busted out laughing in the Amish picture. That is great! I had to show everyone because they were wondering what I was snorting at.

Ha! At last I can comment! A miracle!

Sorry. Blogger and I are having some problems.

*ahem* Gotta love both the straw hat ("Come, Joe Book, we're raising a barn today!") and the true allegiance to the Grand Old Cause; does Joe do daguerreotypes as well?

Sunday

Moody, cloudy Sunday morning in bed with coffee and a new book.  Wrapped up reading a book that could have been so much better, had the characters had a little more...character.  It was a skimmer, for sure.  As I've gotten older, I have given up the notion that all books were meant to be read start to finish.  I've waded in as much as a couple hundred pages before letting go and putting one down.  There are too many books and too little time to waste on a book that doesn't keep my attention. If the rain holds off, I'm looking forward to hooking up this cleaner spray to my hose and spraying my windows and siding.  I know, I know...life is so exciting, right?!  Have I described where I live, the pipestem?  That is the Virginia vernacular term for a little offshoot lane that branches from the main road, upon which are a few homes--in our neighborhood, probably 4-6 houses on each pipestem.  We have four.  Next to us is Car Hoarder Neighbo...

Cherry Blossom, Part II

Tired of cherry blossoms yet?  Oh good, because here are a few more:     These are from just a few hours ago...the cherry blossom or sakura, is truly ephemeral.  The blossoms appear almost overnight and won't last more than a few days, depending on weather.  It's important to get out and appreciate them while you can.  The Japanese actually have a term, hanami, for the "sport" of viewing sakura and there are many, many places in Japan where people flock to see sakura in breathtaking settings.   I'll settle for CFAY, since I'm still single parenting and the Japanese school children are on spring holiday, so the crush would be intense anywhere we would go.  If you saw my last post, you know I had to bribe the kids with ice cream for a two hour trip down to Miurakaigan to view the blossoms a couple of weekends ago.   It's been a busy couple of weeks.  I had a new class start up, just the other half o...

This is 45

-
I think I need to get into it a little more to really FEEL it, but this is 45.  Middle of the road?  Maybe.  Both of my grandmothers made it past 90, so we shall see. All of the most important people in my life wished me a happy birthday today, including the adorable people who made me and brought me into this world.  It is my habit now to thank THEM for my birthday, because let's be honest, if that man didn't love that woman, I wouldn't be here,  right now.  Thanks, guys...totally, 100% serious. The Captain was out of town for my birthday weekend, he got back at supper tonight, unerringly arriving just in time to sit down and eat.  It's really OK.  I started out my weekend on Friday at my favorite shopping joint, then returned home, changed into sweatpants and settled in for some trash TV watching (in this case, the completely stupid "90 Day Fiancee" (don't get into it, it's like watching a car wreck that you could see coming miles away))....
