Dan Zanes and Local Friends

This past weekend, we went to see Dan Zanes and Local Friends perform their annual benefit for The Friendly Kitchen in Concord. Laura, Isaac and Naomi traveled down with us and we met up with Beth and her boys there. This is such a fun concert and it's a treat to get to see Dan Zanes playing at Dan's high school for a good cause.

Here's more "gardening" from the other day.

Sister Art Time

Nellie yearns to use all of Sadie's art supplies. Sadie was nice enough to share some with her so they could draw together. They are really playing nicely together lately, especially now that Nellie is talking a lot and communicating better with Sadie.

Our favorite recent Helena quote:
"I'm messin'!" (meaning, I'm making a mess!)

Ready to Help

Sadie and Helena are ready and eager to help in the garden this year, thanks to some kid-sized rakes and shovels Sadie begged me to buy at the supermarket.

They had fun digging after school on Thursday when it was warm and lovely. We woke up today to snow on the ground! Crazy New England spring...

Happy birthday, Nana!

Happy 60th birthday, Nana!
We love you very much and we had fun celebrating with you on Easter!
