emmett did his own hair for picture day...

...need I say more!!

amazing woman doing peaceful things...

...we missed it but Rhea didn't!!...
...for those of you who don't know Rhea, she used to teach kids classes at Plum Pottery and continues to inspire kids at the Peace Fair in Narragansett, Rhode Island! Check out her blog if you haven't already! We miss you...and the kids really wish you still had clay camps here!

Finley, watch out...

...we are gonna have to put a protective bubble around you. Silas is a maniac! If you are cute, small, defenseless and fuzzy (ok you're not fuzzy), Silas wants to taste you, (aka bite or lick!). We spent much of Ry's b-day party chasing Silas around as he stalked a sweet 18 month old trying to hug her (aka pop off her head). Don't worry, we are researching every effective parenting technique and testing it out on the cats (who are daily victims of his baby enthusiasm). If we can not find the answer we will be equipping your mama with some sort of force field. (Emmett's idea)
Can't wait to see you.
Start doing some baby self defense work outs!
Love, Aunt Annie

another great book!!

Septimus Heap Book One: Magyk!!...kinda Harry Potter meets Deltora with a twist!! Mac loves it, Emmett is really trying not to, but it's hard...and Silas is buried in Boo so who cares but I think he does appreciate that Septimus Heap's father is named Silas!
