the other morning I was rather startled when I looked out my kitchen window and saw a duck standing on my deck. 

He hung out for a bit and then decided our place was pretty boring. and loud.

Silas got a bike this year.  It became too pain for me to watch him bang his knees on the tricycle handlebars any longer.

  

I should have gotten the next size up but it'll do for this year.  He loves it and maybe we can try it without the training wheels...

And happily, it's tree climbing season again.

And this picture makes me smile...Ella's class is taking a trip around the world.  Their first stop is France.  This is a picture of her teacher/flight attendant giving out the in-flight snack.  I love that she adores her teacher!

(no wonder her teacher thinks she is such a sweetie pie!)
