Lower orders, April
BUGS! Actually, I don't think spiders qualify, and that's mostly what I've got. All of these were taken in our very own backyard.
Flowers, of course.
Higher Order Vertebrates, April
| From a performance mixing Aesop's Fables with Saint-saen's Carnival of the Animals, plus some dance and acting. |
From our local zoo: Namaste the Tiger, Ring-tailed Lemur, Bearcat, Blue Dart Poison Frog and peacocks.
Birds seen on campus: Saffron Finch (I've been trying to get a picture of the local finches for ages) and Northern Cardinal.
Max and Friends: April
Costumes! The Bumblebee is Max's costume for the Island Dance Academy's
Cinderella; he'll be dancing with chickens. The elephant and flamingo are old Halloween costumes, again. He loves sharing them with friends.
Haircut! Before and during, obviously. It's not easy to get a decent picture of him during a haircut, let me tell you.
Sharing with a friend: These are both pictures of Max and his school friend Elijah. Taking turns riding Max's bike at the park, and playing some kind of animal make-believe behind Max's dresser.
Old and New: Apparently climbing into and popping out of boxes doesn't get any less fun, though it's a tighter fit than it used to be (also, computer monitors aren't as big as they used to be, either!). And Max has become quite the board gamer: staring with Go over break, he's now taken up Chess, Chinese Checkers, and regular Checkers! Woody's even taking a Chess course to stay ahead of him...
Knitting in Paradise: This is Woody's latest project, a sweater-vest, at the "finished knitting" stage and at the "buttons and all" stage. Max picked out the pattern, color and buttons: it's all him. And he's the one who likes to wear it over sweaters in April, yes.
Did I mention his penchant for climbing anything that will stand still? | |
