Halloween

Z and A went as 2 of the 3 Powerpuff girls - A is Bubbles and Z is Buttercup. I would have reprised my role as Blossom (having dressed up the same back in '02 with Gabi and Clare), but I was in the ER with MHL who took a spill down a hill while walking Zelda that afternoon. To be fair, it was entirely Zelda's fault for chasing after chickens, and she is very, very sorry for having broken her human grandmother. Fun was still had by the kiddos, and props to Wes for solo parenting it through the evening.

Zelda abides

Amity is happy to report that Zelda remains an integral member of the family, doubling as a pillow on occasion. She truly doesn't seem to mind this role, and willingly volunteers to be furniture for the children she adores. Our lives are all improved by having this sweet (and somewhat goofy) pup in our family.

An Lár

Wes has been playing in a Irish traditional musc group, An Lár, with a bunch of his friends from the BRIMS Trad ensemble. Here are two of An Lár's back up dancers and occasional vocalists posing with the sandwich board at the venue, The Tin Whistle.
