ragamuffin easter

Well, here's the shot. Weren't sure we would get one this year because, well, we've been preoccupied lately. But we walked down to the courthouse this morning to the kiddie egg hunt and then across the street for a photo op with the rabbit. And, in case you are wondering why our child is not dressed more festively, it was about 40 degrees outside. Yup, doesn't feel like spring to me.

go spread some lovin' today

hot wheels

Well, we now are parents to the COOLEST toddler on the block because he is the proud owner of a smokin' hot candy-apple red Schwinn Roadster trike. And, I must admit, she's a beauty. I wish I had one, third wheel included.

Santa came early because we are leaving tomorrow to spend the next couple of weeks in Louisiana with family and friends -- BUT, fear not...the bike will have a cozy place in the back of our Subaru because Eli will not let us leave home without it. I think he wanted to take it to bed tonight.

I don't know when I'll pop back in, so I'll wish all of you a peaceful and enjoyable holiday right now. But, I'll be back with various and sundry reflections on the season that makes us all wish our jeans had velcro instead of zippers.

Merry Christmas to all, and check out the kid on his trike. Lots more photos on Flickr, too!

we're two for two!

This'll be a quick post, but I just wanted to share the photo we had taken this afternoon during our trip to Market Street to see Santa. We didn't think it was going to happen this year because he is very wary of Santa (or 'Tee-Ta' as he calls him), but, lo and behold, the boy came through for us. We did have to take about 5 shots right beside him before we could jump out of the frame to get one of just him. But, seriously, I think Santa is now A-OK in Eli's world. That is, as long as he comes through with that bike for Christmas.

And, just fyi, this is not my photo. We were able to purchase the digital file taken by Santa's helpers (heh). How nice of them to share, huh?;-)

Hope everyone had a great weekend. Videos coming soon...
