Linus and the Cherry Trees

The week after Easter the cherry trees at church (at Weldin and Shipley, they should be famous) were in super peak bloom. Linus thought we should take some time to explore.

He liked the feel of the petals, though there was some ripping involved.

Linus loves cherry trees!

Linus, Lefty and Lacrosse

Linus loves to go and play with the neighbors' dog Lefty. Whenever Linus sees the dog he points to go over to him. Lefty is a week younger than Linus, so they almost have a birthday in common. They were playing together on Easter weekend.

Babies and puppies, you can't go wrong with that.

A discussion ensues over whose toy that really is (It's Lefty's).

Star Trek Science Officers

Of course we are wearing science blue for our Star Trek uniforms. Ensign Linus Koehler can move to whatever other specialty he wants when he graduates from Starfleet Academy.

Linus on Easter

Linus was fascinated with the blooming magnolia's at the Dupont Country Club. They were out in full force at Easter brunch last week.


He had a new outfit, seersucker pants, he dresses better than I do.

More brunches, he says.

Linus' first professional hair cut

For Easter we finally got Linus hair cut. We had Lauren at Sherif Zaki do the honors since she does such a nice job on me.


Mommy held Linus and daddy took pictures.

He looks great!

Handsome and ready for Easter.

Linus loves the playground and the swings

Last weekend before the rains we took Linus to the Can-Do playground. He loves the playground, especially the swings.

The playground has a pretty nice set up and all kinds of stuff, from swings to slides to other things that can be turned, manipulated or just provide fodder for young imaginations.

He can be a pretty intent swinger, as revealed in the video. He is having a good time, I assure you.
