Before running a few errands, dad asked Desmond what he wanted for breakfast: pancakes (Leo’s), doughnuts (Gerda’s) or salmon bagel. Here we are at the deli, sharing a lox and roe bagel.

Got to check out this year’s model of lawn tractors. Des usually opts for the green one first, great-grandpa Irv would be proud

Eleanor helping with her first batch of hummus

At a belated St. Patrick’s Day at grandpa’s house, Eleanor and Cassie get acquainted trying to decide who should be holding the shoe

Desmond breaks out some old school toys, a dusty recollection at best with dad and aunt Kellie

Presumably entertained by goofiness with Devin

Eleanor making the rounds, saying good-bye in her PJs

Not shown: blurry photo of Eleanor with grandpa :/

Ella basically called “dibs” on a hat in the dress-up center, wore it until lunch time 

Eleanor pause between rounds of open/closing her water bottle, squirting herself in the face and then laughing 🙂

Not that it wasn’t planned to begin brushing her teeth after bath time, but she insisted on it without much guidance and really started her own habit

Early morning entertainment

Warning: no toddlers were harmed in the making of this photo. After Eleanor stumbled, her frightened wails nearly instantly subsided as she took interest in her new surroundings. She remained there for some time as she investigated every detail the back deck had to offer.

Des requested a photo of the sand castle he proudly built

Dinner was so good, she needed to take big bites with the big girl spoon

More fine ramp-walking weather

Eleanor demonstrates why the infant car seat and stroller was being sold

Similar to another incident at daycare, Eleanor nearly gags at the thought of the bath “shaving cream” spray soap squishing between her fingers

Morning yoga for mom means morning zoo for the rest of the team.

Plus grandma, getting to see penguin breakfast

So so awake

Capturing the 160ms both kiddos were still-

Exploring the jungle floor

Pretty sure this is the closest anyone had been to the hippo

Pride

Big boy, bigger backpack

Just chilling with some amateur ear protection

The return of SUPER CRANE!

St. Patrick’s Day 2018

St. Patrick’s Day commences with green doughnuts and green almond milk

Eleanor reintroduces herself to Sydney

The cousins discovering all the new entertainment at grandma’s house

Ella pointing to the special dessert, like Babe Ruth pointing to left field…

…incoming…

“Houston, we’ve landed!”

Antici-pation.

Yeah, the boys like theirs too.

Bye-bye Birdie (literally x 2)

Desmond hiding, from either Honey or T-Rex
