School science fair activities confirm our love of inquiry and experiments.

Also seen in our backyard today: a cardinal, robins with swollen red breasts, a pair of blue jays, some finches, the usual squirrels and a longtail gopher. We are ready, spring!

Took the girls for their first visit to the Nelson Atkins today.

for Patches The Bunny, who sustained a direct hit during the first great tummy bug of ’14. There could be no recovery.

RIP, Patches. We will miss your recorded message. Thank you for the snuggles.

Dalmatian #2 made her big debut. Arf!

I’m out from behind the camera today.
