So, yeah, I’ve been bad. No real picture update for months. (Some of you I’m sure are thing – thank the Lord!) So these span Easter, Mother’s Day, the puppy’s birth, a slew of birthday parties, strawberry picking, a Father’s Day concert, baseball games (though I’m not sure ‘lil q knows they played a game, she goes for the eats and carousal rides), a summer of field trips, the first year of soccer and a few other odds and ends. It also shows the progress of the puppies – Lindsey and Farrell (Mike named him for the main character in my Champion of the Gods series.) You think kids grow fast, fuhgeddataboutit. Dogs run laps around kids.
Enjoy.
Just because.
Easter Egg Hunting we will go.

Crazy dress up day at pre-school
Spring time at a friend’s b-day party.
Play time is always fun.
This sums up being a kid.
We tried to explain to ‘lil q you had to pick and pay, THEN you can eat them, but that didn’t sink in too well.
After a hard day of strawberry picking a nice ice lolli really hit’s the spot.
‘lil q took us to a free Father’s day concert of Peter and the Wolf at Univ of Maryland.
The orchestra playing.
‘lil q’s first view of the Capitol.

At the Supreme Court on the day that our marriage was recognized.
Just a quick pic before the fountain.
Yep, we like ice cream at the baseball game too.
Just to proof we actually went to the game.
I never get a smile on the way to school, so I had to use this one.

You mean i have to jump off?

Lunch time.
At the DC Outwrite Fest. They had a children’s reading hour sponsored by the DC Library.

The school ‘World Cup.’
With her medal after the game, but before the cake. 🙂
Here’s how to enjoy a baseball game – first you get cotton candy . . .
Then a fumble cake (funnel cake to everyone over the age of four) . . .
Ride the carousal. . . (and then get ice cream.) Oh yes, maybe watch the game.
Farrell and Lindsey taking another nap.

Showing off the new do. . .accessorized properly of course.

Just great pictures. You can see the change in Lil ‘q face. She’s growing up! So adorable and the puppies have really grown as well. Thank you for sharing them. I love seeing pictures of the whole family, including the 4-legged ones.
I’m not sure if I ever said this, but her eyes are absolutely gorgeous. She, and the puppies are growing up so fast. Thanks for sharing this part of your life.
So precious! Looks like you’ve had a fantastic spring and summer! <3
Great pics of a fantastic family, with the most delightful little girl.
Just wonderful 🙂
