Another day of summer! Out we went! And we took the grandparents (Mymi and Vaari) with us! Benjy loves his Mymi and Vaari. And he loves the forest. And he loves hats. Put them all together and you’ve got a really happy boy!

Today was summer. Seriously. Maybe the only day of summer we’ll get all year. And we had it today. It was gorgeous and warm and sunny and PERFECT. So we headed to the lake. Nevermind the water would be freezing (did I mention we had a blizzard last Tuesday?), Benjy could play in the sand,...

I’m going to show you a picture here that marks one of the best, most joyous Easters I can remember. The service was lovely, my handsome husband played the cello during the hymns, there was a baptism, and an African feast in the crypt afterwards. It was WONDERFUL.

Benjy looked positively dapper yesterday for Lucas’s baptism. Naturally, I wanted to get a few photos of him in his Sunday finest. He, however, had other ideas.

Finally! Someone else’s child to photograph! We headed over to our friends’ flat this morning, so Olli could play his “board game” with Joonas, giving Kaisa and Aino time to play with Benjy and me. But first we feasted on blueberries. Blueberry pie and blueberry muffins. Mmm. More photos from the day to come tomorrow....
