march in northampton

We celebrated Lydia's 5th birthday in Northampton last weekend. It was a bowling party with 15 or 16 5-year olds and Mike! Can you imagine?





Mike took me to the bulb show, it was so lovely! The Smith College greenhouse had a special bulb show, daffodils, tulips, snow bells, etc.

almost spring??

i spotted some crocus shooting up in our park yesterday. that is a happy sign! despite all my wishes for snow, spring does = garden!




seneca found her own basketball.

mike is telling a story onstage.


cooking asian style again...yum

Lady

I would like to formally introduce you to Lady. She lives on the west coast but is Seneca's long lost girlfriend! She enjoys singing and walking. She is not thrilled, however, that she is not allowed at farmers' markets. (Pic taken by Laura)

February, a tiny bit of snow and a leap day

We finally got a snow day. Seneca was extremely pleased. (I realized that I really miss my automatic camera. The digital is just not the same.) I can't believe this is our first snowfall. Since there might not be any more snow photo opportunities, I am gonna throw up a bunch here.

declan visits new jerz

amy, todd, and the smallest baby of the fam came to visit us in our new place. declan's new fun is to stick his tongue out when he smiles, so you might see it in these pictures. mike was trying to be the baby whisperer. we went up to eagle rock, where you can see new york city on a nice clear day. it was freezing up there. declan didn't want to stay up there long.

superbowl fried chicken wing extravaganza

mike, seneca, and i went to brooklyn for the superbowl. good times, good food. ate green eggs at brunch and walked to the park before the game. mike was rooting for the giants, kevin was rooting for the patriots. i think i was going for either. we ate so many chicken wings, i won't even mention how many pounds.

a january without snow

well, we have had about 3 snowflakes this winter so far. i keep waking up every day looking for the real thing. maybe february. we are still working on our homemaking. we just potted a bunch of new baby plants and i think they will be very happy in all of the sunlight. we found yummy south indian and thai and a place to watch football in town. mike's mom and niece came to our new home over MLK weekend for a visit. i am trying to write my proposal...
