On the Hunt




In addition to Easter baskets and a trip to the zoo, Mommy coordinated Easter dinner with our neighbors and a courtyard egg hunt. Ace should thank his lucky stars every holiday that he has his Mommy -- she knows how to celebrate, kid-style!

Eggseptional Experience




Ace prepares for Easter by trying his hand at egg dying. His patience paid off (he let them sit through dinner) with some truly brilliantly colored eggs.

The Jungle Book




Chase enjoyed reading a personal favorite, Knuffle Bunny Too (thanks to a gift certificate from Grandpa Fred and Grandpa Laurent, we now own all three books in this beloved series) in the rainforest house at the Denver Botanic Garden, today.

Nothing like fine literature and artificial humidity to get our minds off the snow outside.

Snow Rider




As temperatures plummeted today, Ace braved the cold before being sequestered in the house for an early spring snow.

Trane?




Ace loves to go to Petsmart to see the cats up for adoption. With great concern, he asks Mommy if this is Trane?

Back Rub




Mommy has come down with a case of strep throat so the Critter knew just the right medicine: a dinner time massage.

Four Wheelin'

After a morning trip to the dentist, Chase enjoyed a ride on a sweet four wheeler at Bass Pro Shops. He's teeth are almost as shiny as this ride.

Snaring a Gorilla




We caught this gorilla prowling the Rumpus Room. We've decided to keep it.

Veggie Tales




"Whataya gonna do, Daddy, if I eat these vegetables?"

Crazy, humiliating stuff, my son... all in the name of nutrition.

Two Man Bobsled




The weekend snowstorm gave us our first official sledding opportunity of the winter. This self-portrait captures the essence - if not the view - of one of our many runs. Cowabunga!

Yes! Mickey Mouse Pancakes!




Grandma took us out for a hearty breakfast this morning, at which Ace set the world record for "Most food consumed by a three-year-old."

Excavation




The Denver Botanic Children's Garden opened a few days ago. Of course we were there early in the season to begin major excavation in the sand pit.

Grandparent's Breakfast





Grandma and Ace enjoy some time together at Temple Emanuel's Grandparent's Breakfast. Making bookmarks, singing a few songs with the Cantor, and showing off his classroom made for a fun and busy morning.

We're Playing Chopsticks...




Count 1,2,3,4,5,6... Ace seems to be on the mend after a nap uninterrupted by coughing fits. He's also excited to spend the weekend with grandma who arrived after bedtime.

Nose Frida




Yes, this picture depicts exactly what you think it does. Mommy is literally sucking the snot out of Ace's nose.

Being ill isn't glamorous.

(Really) Sick & (Very) Tired




No vomiting this time, but congestion and a whole bunch of coughing has kept the Critter from sleeping all day. Mommy is camping out in his room tonight, hoping a little companionship will help him to rest.

Cheesy




Although he only likes to eat the crust, Chase enthusiastically helped prepare a pizza for dinner tonight.

Sandcrawler




Although some snow was still hanging on (pretty decent for snowballs, actually), temps were downright balmy today, sending Ace and Daddy to the Sand Park. Muddy fun was had by all.

Piano Man

Chase, learning cause and effect, noticed that when he pressed a key on the piano the wires vibrated to create a sound -- or at least that is what Mommy told him.
