Dinner with friends … Lots of friends.

Easter egg hunt! Lil just ran around, a little too terrified of the other kids to pick up any eggs.

Waiting for the bus.

Beautiful day for a @hellopizza_mn picnic!

Spring! At last! The boys, it turns out, are pretty interested in this thing we call the outdoors.

Spent a lot of time today photographing trees. #treesofinstagram

Long walk, blue sky, lake country.

Painting time!

Well, two out of three enjoyed the walk this afternoon. Abe, however, was a bit cranky.

Window shopping. (One of the dishes at this place is awesomely named “The Prime Rib of Miss Jean Brodie.")

Many of Osip Mandelstam’s own poems only exist today because they were memorized by his wife & friends before they were burned.

Happy birthday, Abe & Sam!

Giant snow octopus. Only in New Brighton.

Breakfast for the boys: all of grandpa’s eggs.
