Nature is Cruel (and so is the baby army)

I found Hazel like this the other day.  Sylvia taped her up so that she could be ready to go into the "baby army."

Yesterday a tiny birdie hit our window and this lizard took advantage of the situation.  He sat with the bird in his mouth for a very long time, I am sure wondering if he had taken on a little bit more than he could handle.

Bonny Bride...?

Today (in the afternoon when I knew we weren't going anywhere) I let Sylvia pick out my outfit.  Of course she picked my wedding dress, the hugest earrings I have and my birdie necklace.  She chose the hairstyle and lipstick too.  Sylvia was the photographer as well.

Here is the bonny bride talking on her cell phone trying to get new renters in the LV house.

Summer Piano Recital

Tonight Luke and Isabel performed in a piano recital for the summer students.  Since there aren't as many students in the summer, it was more casual.  They each played a couple of songs and then played a duet together.

In the summertime, we still have our children do their math, piano lessons, history, or whatever else we are into.  It sounds like I am a cruel task master, but seriously, we play so much that we have to be doing school all year round!

A more entertaining picture from tonight would have been Sylvia in her pink tutu at the recital trying with all her might to not chase after the dogs, hide under the piano or spin on the stool (of course the devil on her shoulder won on all three accounts).  Unfortunately, I was so in the moment just trying to get her to not be a distraction that I didn't think to snap a picture.
