Bird Quiz

One of the boys' new favorite activities is playing online bird-identification quizzes. In this clip, after the easy Mallard id, Ben goes for comedy rather than correctness (perhaps worried that Alex would do better than he would). Calling a hoary redpoll a common canary is the height of hilarity in this house, I assure you.

Before and After Jumping in the Swamp

Summer in April

When it's 80 degrees in April, wearing winter clothes is special, dressing-up fun. Couldn't get a good picture of both kids at the Easter Egg hunt. We take what we can get. Last pic: spotting a red-bellied woodpecker on the suet feeder in the backyard.

Speaking of dressing up

We look cute in Mom's clothes (and pasta necklaces we made at preschool).

For us, this is dressed up

Not wearing sweatpants or tennis shoes-- we must be going to our friend Adryan's annual violin recital!

Snowstorm

Post-Christmas in Ohio

Christmas #2 in Cincinnati was also great-- there was a new bird book for keeps! Photographic documentation, however, was not up to the Kansas standard, so we give you these meager two pix, plus playing in the snow back home in Delaware.
