Mooserific!

These rascals made lunch for us today. They like, and I mean really like, being generous with their spices. I was surprised by the crunchy, salty interior of their lettuce wraps, and Josie’s breath still smelled heavily of garlic at bedtime.

Timmy’s first birthday

I somehow forgot to post the pictures from Abby’s end of the school year class party. Gwen, Josie, and I brought and served the very popular ice cream sundaes.

The “Pink Fluffy Curly Mustangs with Mustaches” aka Abby’s softball team and their awesome coaches

Girl date #1: This summer, two girls get to spend their Thursday with Grandma and Grandpa Moose while one girl goes on an adventure with me. Gwen and I spent the morning hiking at Sharon Woods while Abby and Josie had fun with their grandparents at the Zoo.

Great opening day at the pool! Abby was the first one in!

First and last day of first grade! That school year went by fast!

I’m a bit obsessed with before and after shots. Our backyard in 2003, 2014, and now. A lot can change with love or neglect!

When they grow up

Today at dinner, Abby told us that she plans to own a pet store with Nora when she grows up. (Past ideas were rock-n-roll star, doctor, firefighter.) Josie says she’ll be a chef or an astronaut. Gwen wants to be a veterinarian specializing in dogs.

This part of my Mother’s Day cards makes me especially happy.

We had some unusual fans visit Abby’s softball game.

Warming up before batting

Life is really good when you not only run into your best friends at the Madeira Art Fair, but you also get your face painted.

Gwen sat on my lap, but Josie boldly participated in the Peanut Butter and Jam concert today.

A happy half birthday
