During law school orientation, one of my professors told us that when we got behind in our reading, as was inevitable, we shouldn't try to play catch-up. Instead, we should just read for the next class -- and then catch up later. Trying to play catch-up often means that we are never up-to-date with anything. This makes total sense to me. So, for my poor dear and neglected blog, I'm not going to try to play catch-up. At least not now. I'm just going to start with the here-and-now and see what happens! So, for now, here's a glimpse of some late-April backyard action at our house...

{wow, a great photo of both girls AND the dog...almost never happens!}

{omg, and another!}

{ok, now we're getting silly}

{pretty lucy is 5 years old...maybe i will post about her birthday in january...or maybe i won't}

{ditto for darling phoebe, who is now 3}

{it's popsicle season again, yay!}

{shocking greenness!}

{phoebe's in charge}

{oh yes she is...do NOT mess with a 24-pound blonde. you'll be sorry, missy.}

{dexter trying to steal a lick}

{no popsicle for puppy}

{maybe if i just lean in a little bit, she won't notice...}

{lucy dancing to her favorite, taylor swift. she takes it VERY seriously.}
{THE END. for now.}
