Been a long time coming...

I know, I know- his birthday day was in July, and it's now October. Sigh... The summer went by w/ lightening speed, and here it is almost Halloween. I am going to post these pics from his birthday party and then try to post some round ups from the summer.

Backyard parties are the best!

Wrapping Up

Here are some more random photos from May- it was a busy month with the end of school, events in the Garden, quick trip to the beach, and other fun days!

Jasper on his first day of school, and on his last! He has grown so much!

Mother's Day at Mother's Garden!

Phew! Where did May go?? I am trying to catch this blog up, so here are some pictures from our Mother's Day even at Mother's Garden, where we are board members working to restore the garden. It was a day of beautiful weather, gorgeous setting, good food, poetry readings, live music, and lot's of friends!

Some fun pictures of a recent morning trip to Mother's Garden.

Tulip Fever

Last week we ventured out to catch some rays and enjoy the riot of color over at Sherwood Gardens. We had a nice little picnic and toured the many flower beds- over 80,000 tulip bulbs planted!

More Egg-travaganza

Easter celebrating has turned into a full time job for this kid! Between neighborhood celebrations, fun at home, and a hunt at Mother's Garden, we are fully Easterized.

Here is Jasper on the bridge at Mother's Garden with our favorite Easter Bunny.

Jasper and Daddy on the way to the hunt at Mother's Garden.

Hunting w/ his buddy Landon, this hunt was much more... peaceful than last weeks.

Super proud of his finds!

Daddy and the bunny.

Friends sharing their loot!

The bunny under one of the lovely flowering trees in Mother's Garden. If I haven't gone on and on to you yet about MG, it's a 5 acre garden bordering our neighborhood that was built as strolling garden in the 20's. It was derelict up until last year when a group of neighbors formed "The Friends of Mother's Garden" and we started rehabbing the garden and holding events.

Batman loves Easter too!
