Around Here This Week

So around here this week....

These cute boys were here.

Grandpa tried handling them both at the same time. Juggling two babies is a little tricky.

We had a baby blessing for them. These family milestone events are always just the best.

We got to go to an outdoor piano recital for Evan's boys. Edward likes the fast ones.

Frederick played,

and so did Roger. True to the rather whimsical weather we've ben having lately, what was 80° earlier in the week, was in the low 50's and blustery, threatening rain, for this particular event.

In more everyday things, the hostas are unfurling,

...and my first peony has bloomed. The colors this time of year are beautiful. 

Sent to me from the kids and grandkids this week, Edward has been studying Pride and Prejudice at school, and at the conclusion they had a Pemberly Ball. Edward was dressed to the nines to attend.

Eric had a tree fall over in his yard and spent some time pulling it back up and staking it.

Emmett and Ephraim enjoyed lunch in a big box. Ah, simple childhood joys.

Speaking of which, how many of us have done this exact thing as kids?

His mama made the comment that she was glad he wasn't blowing these all over her yard. 

Here's Isaac in our backyard having a good time and only slightly concerned that his mom might actually give him away to the circus.

Finally, I got these two pictures from my daughter. I'm pretty sure this is Leo.

Same baby, two different days. What a difference a day makes.

Edward looks like he's going to a steampunk ball almost, with the shades.
