A Perfect Spring Saturday

We had amazing weather to celebrate a reunion with newlywed Mrs. Jessica Jiao Smith and Newly-born Aidan Benjamin Solomon. The last time I saw Jess she was in a limo driving away from an amazing wedding on to a new life in a new state with a new husband and a new job as grad student. She came back this weekend and we spent all afternoon and evening outside with...
Avery and Aidan! Aidan was born on Sophia's birthday - December 16th - 3 years later. He is an adorable squoosh of a baby - though not quite used to all of this sunshine and heat!

Olivia wasn't quite ready for the change in season - as she insisted on wearing one mitten for a good part of the afternoon. Or perhaps a tribute to The Gloved One?


We accomplished a great trial-run in my goal for the spring and summer: eat as many meals as possible OUTSIDE. We flung open the windows and doors and the girls just ran around like freed animals - with many outfit changes, and lots of barefeet.


At this point, Foo took full advantage of her lingering babyhood - diaper only please.



They loved being outside. Mealtime transformed from what often feels like cruel and unusual punishment for all of us to laid-back enjoyment. Here they are singing to each other - I think?


We hope you got outside and enjoyed the weather this weekend too!

Nina, I am so impressed with your cute, stylish hair! Seriously, making it out of the house without a ponytail is a noteworthy accomplishment as far as I'm concerned. Way to get up and at 'em. :-)
