With weather in the upper 50s, playing outside was nearly irresistible. Stinson Park provided the perfect snow-melt-mud-free destination

Ella shouted to the horizon as she ran, as if yelling “fore!” to warn the world she was coming

Ok, rest.

Not shown: Desmond sprinting off into the distance towards the tower. In open fields, the well-practiced and respected “red light!” system kinda breaks down :/

Ella giving it a good stretch of the legs

Eleanor definitely has the butt-scoot-shuffle-GO! move down better than her brother at this age, mastering the slide

“Take a picture of me!”

As dad was loading the camera back up to return home, this incredible “golden hour” light just jumped out. Ok, a few more.

A rare breakfast out, the wait at Culprit was worth it for the egg sandwich and coffee. These two did fairly well sharing their cereal appetizer

Mom makes some good oatmeal, but this was right up there as well. A bit more berries and syrup than at home, Des was all about it

A morning downtown is nice, even in February

As lead thrill-seeker in the family, it was time to introduce Eleanor to the slides in the Gene Leahy Mall

There may have been a bit more scooting and running involved without any of the accelerant materials typically found laying around in warmer weather

Yup, she’s a fan

Warm enough to be outside, but the water is still frozen most of the way through

As an ardent walker nowadays, Eleanor got a quick advanced tutorial on walking on ice. She’s certainly persistent.

The main event was seeing the light. installation at Kaneko.

Eleanor was stoked to play with what was essentially a large-scale Light Bright

Happy belated birthday to dad, with his dreamy new lens. Test shots of the evening wildlife…

Later a great duel broke out between to friends…

Just your typical X-Wing and Tie Fighter dogfights in the living room

Ok, sometimes dad snoozes for a moment too…

Ella’s latest hobby: locking the cabinets doors. Max appears to be just as confused as the rest of us.

Who else is cool enough to sport a fluffy llama hat under their hood?

Bundled to go scoop snow

To be this full of joy-

After watching dad drum while singing “Old MacDonald Had a Farm,” Des wanted a try while singing the ABCs

Eleanor’s 15-month checkup: weighing in at 24.5lbs (87th %) and 31″ (66th %)

While some folks might record sporting events to view later, this house rewatches the historical first flight of SpaceX’s Falcon Heavy rocket. An astonishing scientific feat to marvel at, for all ages

Desmond reenacts the booster separation

Ella is all about most tomato-based dishes

Love seeing these two play together and make each other laugh

Ella trying her hardest to “wink” with Ms. Kristen
