Saying goodbye to Piper before heading to Denmark for a week. (4/5/25)
|
|
First thing in the morning in Oregon, the kids could call us... at the very end of our evening in Denmark. (4/6/25)
|
|
These calls were not super-coherent, but we did
discover embedded emojis in the phone interface -- TWO FISH STICKS.
(4/7/25)
|
 |  |
Time for a rousing game of cornobbletron with fish flying every which way in the air. (4/15/25)
|
 |
All
tired out from all the cornobbling. Or... at least... the sun is
going down and all the fish are on the ground. (4/15/25)
|
|
Lane picks out all the details of his suit for prom to a soundtrack of late 50s and early 60s pop music. (4/16/25)
|
 |
Lee waits patiently. (4/16/25)
|
 |
Learning some French while we continue to wait. It was a very long errand. (4/16/25)
|
 |
Finally, the weather is nice enough to go to the dog park again. (4/17/25)
|
 |  |
The dog park is a great place for climbing trees. (4/17/25)
|
 |
Treats at the market... (4/18/25)
|
 |
...and work at the market. (4/18/25)
|
 |
Theoretically, the treats were supposed to inspire work. (4/18/25)
|
 |  |
Eventually, Lee compromises by learning some French on Duolingo. (4/18/25)
|
 |
Divvying up the eggs, mostly by color. And, yet, somehow Lee always ends up with the most. (4/19/25)
|
 |
Panier d'oeufs. (4/19/25)
|
 |  |
We all woke up at different times, but we all got our baskets when we were ready for them. (4/20/25)
|
 |
Easter morning video games with friends. (4/20/25)

|
 |  |
An idea is born. (4/20/25)
|
 |  |
Perfect pancake toss. (4/20/25)
|
 |
Filling eggs with fruit loops and popcorn for the egg hunt. (4/20/25)
|
 |
Hunting eggs is a very serious endeavor. (4/20/25)
|
 |
Or maybe an opportunity for jokes? But in this case, the joke led to finding an actual egg. (4/20/25)
|
 |
Pondering the possibilities. (4/20/25)
|
 |
So many places that the eggs could hide. (4/20/25)
|
 |  |
As per usual, we lost count eventually and found ourselves hunting for eggs that had already been caught. (4/20/25)
|
 |
And finally, we get around to dying some eggs. (4/20/25)
|
 |  |
Blue and yellow. (4/20/25)
|
 |  |
Fish scales and more. (4/20/25)
|
 |

A lovely day for backyard grilling. (4/21/25)
|
 |
Very upside down. (4/23/25)
|
 |  |
A nice afternoon fieldtrip to a local bowling alley. (4/25/25)
|
 |
Inspired by Arrested Development, Lee builds a Tiny Town out of boxes... and then stomps it. (4/25/25)
|
 |
Lane
realizes his bowling ball (which is yellow) is a lemon. This
makes more sense if you were watching Arrested Development with us when
Lane encountered that idiom for -- apparently -- the very first time
ever. (4/25/25)
|
 |
Lane and Heather Holly head out to pick up their flowers for prom. (4/26/25)

Discussing
how delighted the florist seemed to see us. Upon seeing Heather
Holly, she immediately declared, "Oh! I remember about this!"
(4/26/25)
|
 |
All dressed up and ready to find out if his high school prom is more colorful than an orange. (4/26/25)
|
 |  |
Lane practiced a couple voices for Heather Holly in preparation for this. (4/26/25)
|
 |  |
They
had a lovely, healing time that involved running into several old
friends, but overall, it turns out that parties can be kind of boring.
(4/26/25)
|
 |
Strawberry chocolate cake and Arrested Development for the afterparty, however, is not so boring. (4/26/25)
|
 |
Lee gets the sprite they've drawn for the video game they're designing to actually walk. 4/28/25)
|
