Ella was not happy that I was giving Ciara attention. She told me, "Ciara is NOT your girl! I am your girl."

Owen stares at the "buff-a-lo" statue. We were so amazed that he could so clearly say in a high little voice, "buff-a-lo".

Playing in the May snow. This was left after a few days of melt. There was actually several inches of snow accumulation on the ground!
