Is It Pterodactyl Season Yet?

I spent most of the winter moving.  It was an especially snowy winter in the northeast.  Because of the cold and the snow I seemed to always use the back door.  On the rare occasions I used the front door, all I saw was snow.  Now that I am finally moved in, and the weather is almost Springlike, I am walking around my new neighborhood every day that I can.  I have recently noticed what looks from a distance like a mound of hay.

Upon closer inspection, I know that it is not a hay mound.  But I am not sure what it is.  All of the other apartments have pretty normal evergreen shrubs.

Mine is not normal, and it is surely not evergreen.  So I'm thinking it is a nest, a very large nest.  When the Pterodactyl returns to roost, I will take more pictures.    

Fun for All

A new swing set for the new backyard.  YAY!

Rest in Peace Lucy (03/25/2003 - 04/22/2015)

Lucy was my 50th birthday present.  She was sweet and smart and mischievous and loving.  For 12 years she was my best friend and I will always miss her.  

Happy Pair

Grandpa Mike and Roland

Happy Easter!

Roland is adorable.  But I can't stop thinking of ...  

... Ralphie from A Christmas Story.

West Coast Rain & Fun, East Coast Not So Much

Gus and Meara and the kids spent time on the coast this weekend.  It was raining but everyone obviously had a happy time.

This is a recent picture of the icebergs on the beach in Cape Cod.

A Pixie Tradition

Rosie got a hair cut yesterday, and she looks adorable, complete with chocolate ice cream face.

I've noted more than once that my Mom was a big fan of the pixie cut.  This photo of me is from 1957ish, when I was about Rosie's age.

I would never have given Gus a pixie cut on purpose.  But here he is at 4 in 1986 and I can't deny he has a similar look.

Yum?

Roland tries rice cereal for the first time.

Happy to be Five Months Old

Hidden Treasure

While spending time with Grandma and Grandpa, Rosie found a treasure trove of her Uncle Patrick's Legos.  Life is good.

Already Flirting

A Good Day for Sitting Up

Meara just sent these.  She said that when Roland woke up from his nap he decided it was a good time to try sitting up.  He seems quite happy with his success.

Cara & the Devil Dogs

Jonathan sent this picture today.  Cara wanted a photo of herself and the dogs for a relative.  I'm not sure this was the moment she expected to capture.

Granted this is an older picture but Echo and Delta have always been sweet pups.  But, maybe they are demonically possessed and in true horror movie tradition the camera sees what we don't.

Oh So Cute

A Selfie Tradition

Meara recently posted this great picture of her and Lando. 

Back in March of 2012 Gus took this one with Rosie.

Happy Kids
