Fairy magic

Ivy turned four yesterday, which further proves that time is accelerating.  These three are great friends, running and laughing and plotting against Jack when all of us are together.  They love to throw their arms around one another, pose for a photograph and frequently beg to sleep over one another's houses. We haven't braved that adventure yet, but I'm sure it's coming soon.

The party was, by all definitions, magical.  The weather is always perfect for Morehouse parties and yesterday was no exception.  Dozens of children donned wings and sparkly crowns and wings and flitted about the perfect afternoon, playing games and clambering in the treehouse.  Adults milled and talked and spun children around when they came close enough.

It was what I imagine when we talk of raising children. 

I'm sure Amanda will write a beautiful post about it and what we really want here are pictures.


Up, up, up!


Here we are hunting for treasure, little sparkly gems and shiny buttons sprinkled through the back yard.  Hope we got them all,'cause that will hurt shooting out the back of a lawnmower. 




This gorgeous shot is from Nat as Naomi rode the zip line.  Yes, they have a zip line in their yard.  I told you it was magical.

This is a still shot for the Broadway production of Frozen: The Freeze Dance Reprisal

Even Momma got into the act, wearing wings.
