out'n'about

Random recent two-year-old moments:

look at that smirk!

future's so bright, I gotta wear shades

taking the "T"


baby Nubian goats at the farmers' market... so cute!

with Sarah, sometimes you're up...
other times, upside down!

Okay, back to the sweatshop...
you don't think I have fun all the time, do you?

hey Emek...

it was fun meeting you tonight, too! While your swing-pushing technique needs work, you make up for it with off-the-chart goofy points. Come back for another visit soon, and bring Ubi... but NO elephant!



I'm not joking about the elephant.

if you happen to be On Cape...

my talented Abuela's exhibit of original
watercolors, pastels and oils opens this weekend!

Opening reception July 19, 5 - 6:30 pm: free wine and nibbles,
plus a chance to share a bit of Abuela's world, where the fruit is ripe,
the flowers bright, and every day is a beach day.

Check it out... you never know who you might run into.

July 4th at Sheep Island

4th of July weekend at Max's place was a blast - literally: watching fireworks from the boat was awesome. We also loved swimming, boating, playing in and around the water, eating - and bug bites, don't forget the bug bites. Yep, it's finally feeling like summer... love it!

fireworks on the lake... you kinda had to be there


cozy

'swimming' by the dock - wheeee!!!

Captain Max and 1st Officer Anakin

Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the water...

After a slippery spill in the tub last week, bath-time has taken a terrifying turn. No, we are not afraid of falling. The trouble is far worse....

A plague has descended upon Sodenland.

A plague of scary, scary ducks.

Bath-time will never be the same.

(cue the scary music)

They are watching you

with unshuttable evil eyes

clones of a master race of water-fowl

they have violent tendencies

and non-stick surfaces


NEVER turn your back on the killer ducks!

Coming soon to a theatre near you
