Finally, the virtual tour of the new Lightner house that you've all been waiting for with bated breath. Or not. But anyway, here we go...

The Master Bedroom, complete with dumpster salvaged decor, sleeping baby, and unmade bed...

The kitchen, my personal favorite...

The sitting room and Duplo Construction Station...

Zadok's room, featuring a dinosaur family and frequently a sleeping Zadok...

The front and back porches, and backyard, which together vie with the kitchen for booking as my most favorite feature of the house...

And there you have it!

Adventures in Turtle Land...

We approach with caution. After all, these are Big Turtles.

They seem to be peaceful creatures, though, and respond well to our friendly advances.

Until they don't. Not all who adventure in Turtle Land return to tell the tale.

Qorban got his first haircut. The occasion was documented by Esther.

 
 

 

And in case that wasn't cuteness overload, here's one more...

 Hannah and Esther visited us for spring break. Fun was had by all. The weather wasn't terribly great, but we got out a few times, including a long-awaited trip to the zoo.

There's been a lot of talk about alligators around here lately...but when it came to meeting one up close and personal, Zadok felt that a little added height would be an advantage.

Qorban opted for a nap instead of giraffe, zebra and antelope viewing.

Thanks for spending your break with us, Hannah and Esther. It was good.

We celebrated Easter with New City friends at their house. Good Friday was almost 70 degrees, but Sunday it snowed.

Qorban turned 8 months old...

...And I made him a quilt from secondhand shirts and a couple sheets. I had never made a quilt before, but it was fun to make and everyone likes it.

 Using Grandmother's 1952 machine, I quilted it in a style I will call "Abstract Geometric."
