May 1, 2007

Grace checks to see if our lettuces are coming up. Not yet!

She loves these herbs and she loves to tell her dad what they are all called.

Swinging with Dora.

Exploring in the yard.

Some very determined marching up the hill.

Looking up at the leaves.

Surveying the yard from up in a tree.

She loves being up here!

Trying to sneak into the front yard.

Wide awake Suki.

A sly little look.

There was no time to properly frame this impossibly sweet moment between sisters. I just love rare moments like this.

Baby blue eyes.

Curled up with Clifford, Gorilla and her doll.

Meanwhile, Dad and Suki have some good blurry fun.

Suki might put up some competition soon for the "little blue engine."

A bonus Grace exchange:

Grace: Do you see gingham?
Mom: Gingham?
Grace: (pointing to the jam lid) Do you see gingham?
Mom: Oh, gingham! Yes.
Grace: That's jelly.

It was especially funny because she said that last bit like she was arguing with me, or straightening me out about just what was in that jar.
