We so rarely catch a genuine smile on camera anymore that I was pleased to capture this one from Lu while she took a break from making pizza with Stayc.

Phoenix is here showing off his burly naked form as well as our new storm door. Worth every penny . . . both of them.

Here is Lutece on her SECOND day of preschool. On her first day, she wouldn't wear her backpack, and she wouldn't pull her toast out of her mouth long enough to let us get a decent picture. But here she is . . . week two . . . just as cute as she was the first day, and much more willing to brandish her academic accouterments.

Here's Phoenix showing off his new jammies, his new haircut, and his lip.
