and a beautiful day after...

The feel of the days after a holiday is so different when the family lingers! You hardly notice that the celebrations came yesterday. Today is equally special.

It was a busy day, but in a good way. I put aside worries about where my mom should be in a few weeks or a few months. I turned my attention fully on the young ones.

Primrose wakes up with the cheepers. They're raring to go. She's raring to go.

Sparrow is the quieter soul of the lot. Happy to snuggle... to have someone read him a book.

I make shakshouka for brunch. I know, I know, it's not the first time!

In the late afternoon, we go to the Childrens Museum. Snowdrop is thrilled to show her cousin "the ropes."

We stay until the Museum is ready to close. As I drive home, I think how pretty the downtown is at this time of the year...

Back at the farmhouse, a photo tradition: the cousins!!

Dinner -- I make chicken, shrimp and fish tacos. Ed fires up the tortillas.

There's a bit of cheese that winds up on the floor. Primrose helps vacuum it all up. Loud noise? No problem! The girl is absolutely fearless!

Fearless and infinitely huggable.

I feel this does end the holiday season for me. It's been a rough and tumble set of weeks. But with plenty of highlights. This weekend was surely a super highlight.
