Spring 2012 - Catching Up [snippets]

Since we've started and lost track of more blog posts than you'd care to know about, we're going to focus here on just catching us up to the end of spring in one quick post - photo heavy, light on commentary.  For starters, a birthday party at Grandma and Grandpa B's:

Grandma B, Aunt Beth and Elise work on some cupcake candles

 Nora details a fine piece for her collection, while Elise looks on with admiration

 Nora practices fairy leaps in the backyard on a warm April day

Backyard tunnel fort!

Sister picnic!

 

Elise and Papa went to the West Side Market while Nora was at school.  She got a carrot juice...

...and fell asleep in the bike cart on the way home.

 Nora wanted to be a parrot

 

 Nora was running laps around Papa, making him very dizzy!

Canoeing at Tar Hollow State Park with Kevin and Eli

Out of the canoe, Nora and Papa went exploring up a creek. This water was cooold, but Nora's cold blooded, so no problem!

Nailed it!

Nora and Papa went off to get Honey Hut... the ice cream was melting down our elbows on our way back... it was tough work!

Back home... best. nail. clipping. ever.

Half-naked sister duets are the best!

We'll get around to the summer months sometime around Thanksgiving!
