Full-Fledged Spring in New England

It's been so long since our last post that I think I'll let the pictures do most of the talking... starting with the earliest and ending with the most recent:

Singing in the Rain
This is Liam in the backyard with a little artistic editing :)

...and the dog that's seemingly a polar bear? - the neighbor's dog Puka...





Mother's Day 2009
Mr. Frog was found on a the arm of a chair on the back porch that morning with a dandelion fluff on his head...lol.








Liam discovered buttercups.


My sister and I trying to be inventive in giving a high five...eh.


This is how he eats quickly melting ice cream cake that was left in Aunt E's car far too long.

Building a fence










A flower for mommy :)




Pan's Labyrinth creature



Virtu Art Festival 2009 in Wilcox Park
He's trying to show off his wooden snail with the bobble head... (my dear husband actually ended up stepping on it...it's red...the floor's red-you can see the problem, and we had to replace it the next day and since we're suckers we also bought him a bobble head dragon too...anything to make that boy happy!)

Face painting: Liam picked a yellow star and moon design (the orange is fabric paint from the craft tent that he did himself of course...lol)
Day 2: Virtu Art



He's pointing to his ear and listening...either to the water in the fountain or the piano music from the booth nearby - notice the dragon? :)



"This is my belly"...he wanted to get it wet in the fountain...what a goose.




Liam ran around in circles with this little boy he just met for about 20 min in the willow tree...I was getting dizzy just watching them. The fun ended of course when one of them fell down dramatically - luckily, this time it wasn't Liam.

This little turtle was found while mowing the lawn last weekend...Liam was afraid to be standing on the porch with the turtle when it walked...weird kid. We sent him back home of course when we were done gawking. lol. 

Hope everyone is staying optimistic and finding pleasure in the little things all around us...I sure am trying!
