Owen Fix
Owen has spent nearly 2 months perfecting the army crawl, and Bryan has decided it’s time for him step up his game. So far, his lessons haven’t been particularly successful…

Overheard
Olivia, to Bryan, who was wearing a suit and tie: “Did you forget to put on a rose?”

Notes from Ava
This could be an “overheard,” but it’s hard to talk when you are holding your breath.

Just add water
When Ava was a baby, she had an unusually fussy day while we were visiting Gramma and Grampa Great’s house. Gramma suggested a bath might help, and kindly offered her kitchen sink. The moment Ava’s toes hit the water, she calmed down. This trick is one that works well–in fact, it was a warm shower that brought Ava back from the brink of a meltdown last night after a too-long playdate in the country. (In hindsight, I should have tried one for both us a couple hours later…)
Last weekend, when Owen was struggling with an ear infection, eczema outbreak and four(!) new top teeth, we plopped our cranky baby in the kitchen sink. It worked beautifully, Gramma!

Pink, petite and perfect.
Last week, I happened across this tiny cake stand, which holds a perfectly small four-inch layer cake. It makes me inordinately happy.

Good eggs
While the girls were experimenting with neon, I dyed brown eggs violet. Some were a bit too deep, but others were lovely.
