Storytime with Rosalynde

The picture is a bit dark, but Rachel's smile isn't. Big sister Rosalynde must be taking a break from homework to make her little siblings' afternoon.

Sunday Presents

I'm thinking this is Mother's Day--right? I love Brigham and Jacob's coordinating sweaters. Was that intentional, Mama?

Mother and Son

This is a little boy who loves his mother. Where was this picture taken, Mama? Also, I love that red sweatshirt--what is the story of it? Who gave it to Jacob?

Father and Son

Master ice cream-maker and his prodigious apprentice. What a treat that homemade ice cream was. Let's pull it out for the family reunion this summer.

Game-Changer

Look at that grin on Jacob's face. What do you think--is he giving me some under-the-table tips on how to beat Rosalynde's plan to dominate at Candyland?

4 West

Look at how Jacob lights up everything around him, no matter where he is. We love you and miss you, our darling brother.

Pictures for May

May is a special month for me. May 2nd has been a sacred day for 23 years now. May 8th is Dave's birthday. May 12th is the day that Dave proposed to me. May is Mother's Day month. And then, of course, May is beautiful! We're going to go back to pictures of Rachel and Jacob for this month. Here's one that should look very familiar--ten points to the first person who names the room! Mama, how did you keep your little kids well behaved for so many piano recitals?
