Late winter, New England style

Here is the scene in our backyard last Wednesday:



Fast-forward four whole days, and here was the scene yesterday:

{dirty pants = good times!}

{ta-da...there is a pool under all that snow & ice!}

And today? Backyard covered in snow. Again. L.A. anyone??

Separated at birth?

PAIR ONE:

PAIR TWO:

{...wallace!}

Colors of the Wind

Some lucky little girl I know got a Pocahontas dress hand-made by her Nonni...

{she's off to run the hidden pine trails of the forest, to taste the sun-sweet berries of the earth...}

How do you like the new haircut? We are loving it!

Random photos for a Tuesday

{phoebe next to baby sonia...pheebers looks like a big huge giant baby in comparison. they happen to own the same outfit. cutie-pies!}

{love my lulu's smile!}

Happy Tuesday!

The ONE and only Phoebe Grace

Our baby girl turned one on Thursday, February 12 and we celebrated with four days of family, friends...and baked goods! We love you, our Phoeber-Deeber-Doobers, and although we can't believe how quickly you are growing up, we are so excited to see the person that you are becoming before our eyes.

Happy Birthday to the one and only YOU!

Snow sisters

The punk & the diva

Peppermint tea

When I ask Lucy if she drinks coffee, she just giggles and says "no, I drink peppermint tea!" And what could be better after playing in the snow?

Lucy...up close and personal

{sorry about the crusty nose, but this is reality, folks}

I turn my back for a moment and...

{pheeber-deeber-doobers!}

{by the way, please excuse my short posts lately. i am trying to take a little break from blogs, facebook, etc. and have been someone successful at it! i pre-scheduled a bunch of short blog posts until mid-february, though this one i am just adding today because i couldn't resist.}

Lucy's not the only costume fan in the house!

We are very dramatic
