Lucas played a baseball game with the Optimists while Atticus picked up — and sat in — berries with the other players’ brothers and sisters. Spray ‘n’ Wash, you’ve got your work cut out for you this time. :(
While Kevin played the electric guitar (I mean, Josephine) and he and I sang, the boys and I painted with the acrylics. Mine isn’t finished, but here are Lucas’ Easter Bunny with an egg (left) and Atticus’ “Mom Is Beautiful.” (I swear nobody gave him a suggestion, much less paid him. :P)
Atticus has been a bit obsessed with Neil Young for the past year or so. Yes, it all began way back when he was only four and a half. Before his dad and I went to see Neil Young live, we downloaded and burned his awesome Live at Massey Hall album from 1971. Well, Attie [...]

Tonight at dinner, Lucas said he wanted to be smarter than the average bear, and Atticus repeated it, too. Then, Attie asked, “Who is the average bear?”
This is baby Atticus’ foot on Kevin’s hand. Yep, way back when he was a wee newborn. (Atticus, not Kevin. ;) I took the picture with my old phone, so it’s pretty grainy, but I love it. Now, Attie’s in school and headed toward his 5th birthday on the 25th…It’s crazy how fast time goes [...]
