Today The Pink One decided YES IT IS THE DAY TO WEAR THE HAND-ME-DOWN PINK TUTU in public. Really.

Who am I to stop her? I’m just happy she decided to keep her diaper on in public.

I’ve yet to plan and execute an official 2nd birthday party for her as I was out of town for a conference and have yet to have the spare minutes to work on it.

Here are a few select photos from last weekend, yours to enjoy.

The grass was quite long and very much like urban wilderness in its carefree, shaggy state. Turns out that in doing so we have provided some bunnies a place to raise their young.

I don’t think her fondness of apple will supplant her love of cheese. She is half Dutch, after all.

The Pink One Crunches, and smiles.

No, Honey. Not gonna take your apples.

You can't see him, but Daddy is making her laugh.

Ronin moves in for the kill...I mean cheese.

Insisting.

“What do you want? Do you want a cookie?”

She nods, then grins. She giggles that happy giggle when you guess right.
