Movie star. And Marianne the paparazzi is definitely getting on the kids' nerves! I don't blame them, it's ridiculous with me sneaking snapshots continually!
Statue of Liberty
Digital Self Portrait with Wet Hair
A sweet girl
Computer pro at play
Lazy Sunday afternoon - recuperating from that party on Saturday?
Kidlets romp on over and Kathi reads to them in the basement
I put all these seeming duplicates in whenever I spy any sort of change of expression on the kids' faces. Sorry ...
Bedtime snack - watermelon
After school on Monday (12:30 p.m. - 3 p.m.), Lara and Olivia running around the grounds
and hard on their heels, a racing Ella with purse
Ella
loves books, trying to pound on computer keyboards, and being an
appendage to Mommy.
Here we're at the library, where Lara displays
remarkable adeptness (I'm not just being a fawning aunt, it's true) at
learning how to point, click, drag and use the up-down-left-right
arrows
Wooden block puzzles
Lara matches the block to the space by looking at the letter on the block and finding the letter on the puzzle. She definitely knows all her letters. We spelled out in chalk on the driveway "Lara", "Ella", "Koeniger", "Marianne", "Mommy", "Daddy", "Kathi", "29 Spruce St." and more, and with a bit of help she could piece the letters and their sounds into words
Tuesday afternoon at a wonderful park nearby
Accidental shot but what the heck
Hanging out
Moss and grass
The fresh green of spring
Plant ID requested
Ditto ditto ditto says Eloise
The playsets these days are quite impressive
Complete with sturday spiderwebs
Kathi is on triple duty: pushing all 3 kids. Lara and Ella insist on Mommy; I'm not allowed to push
La princesse
Ella looks remarkably like Lara in this shot
Ella is often concentrating with furrowed brow
And also contemplative
Ella saw Lara putting wood chips on things, so she has to, too
Practically every kid at the playground that day rode on the plasma car. I did too. Lara has gotten the hang of it and in particular is very good at braking when needed - she steers off onto grass
"Say 'There goes Lara!,' Aunt Marianne!"
Spiders
There is no rest for the weary
Daddy's helper
From the backyard
Backyardigans having a picnic
Sippy sippy cups
Fabulous self portrait
The magical singing hairbrush (High School Musical ditty)
Getting ready for school -- Mon and Wed, 12:30 - 3:00
From the front yard
From the driveway
Experiment: will the baby carriage have the same amount of water as the blue pail under the trees, or, more?
Picking Lara up from school
Ella peeking in the car
Storm clouds gather
Goodbye for now New York
