ring the bells

This is Ari's in his sweet little poncho from his auntie and uncle. Perfect for throwing over a pair of PJ's for an after dinner walk and visit of all the favorite local attractions, which include the wind chimes outside the big house. Chickens, ducks and any and all collections of pine cones are also on the list. And Perry and I have to check the garden obsessively for signs of growth. We think we lost our asparagus, but still hold out hope that it might be there one evening tall and happy and ready to be cooked up.
When we've all said goodnight to our favorite farm sites, it's back home to sleep. Or, more accurately a rowdy dance party leading to sleep. You wouldn't believe how this baby likes to dance it up before laying his head down. He is also developing some very fine dance moves of his own. His fancy footwork is one of the cuter things on the planet in my humble opinion. But then any one year old tap dancing to arcade fire would be up there on the list.
