Smiley Pal

Paint pen on my hand
Outlined in pen, he is there
My friend in the road.

By Avery

Eyes on the Horizon

There's one! Over there!
Spotting windmills; manic joy
Car games that we play

Ode to a Striped Swimsuit

Handed down the line
Maggie, Mad, Mason and Me
Elastic no more

Sunset in the Hamptons

Chaise lounges chatting
Southampton by private plane
Great start to weekend

Fox Flash Mob

Happy dance with friends
Together learning and brave
Community joy

Porch Swing & Edward Tulane

During the rainstorm
Finished story about love
All our hearts open

The "double awesome"
Meaning better than awesome.
Sometimes you need it!

Biking the Capital Trail

Kids are great troopers.
Even six-year-old did it.
Sixteen mile strong!


By Ainsley with last line contribution from Avery

After the Rain

Window pane blue sky
Happy anticipation:
Bike ride here we come.

Flood Wall/Canal Walk Geocache

Hunting. Seeking. Found!
Fourth try; Geocache success.
Mom is good luck charm.

Ridiculousness of Dad

Bleh, bleh, bleh, bleh, bleh
Dad's sound effects of ketchup
Usual antics!

Flowers

Flowers everywhere
They have beautiful blossoms
Lots of different kinds


By Ainsley McKay

Dinner in the park

Screw tops with take-out
Flowering tree snowing blooms
Poses, chase and grins

daughter turning ten
I blinked and she'd grown a foot
not ready for teens

smiling little boy
proud to show off what is gone
hole where tooth once was

a golden eagle
sent a message to make
me one of her own

by Louren Reed

Park day

Waves of many friends
Scooters, sand; climbing, chatting
Neighborhood park day.

Fox Farms

Swinging black rail gate
Raised beds divided as plots
School kids planting soon

pi-ku

In honor of Pi Day, here's something I'm calling "fourteen on the fourteenth":

Exhausted, but pizza bed

Pizza in my bed
Tucked under my pillow, ack!
Becca dog, culprit

break out all your claritin
achoo! gesundheit.

mountain of laundry
sorted into smaller piles
really not so bad

90 minute massage

On a whim. Too long?
Escape from life's twinges, pains
Rub. Relax. Repeat.

the calico's fur
so soft and fluffy in hand
she purrs as I pet

The backyard transformed
Sisters pretend play for hours

Sunny Couch

Sunny couch cuddle
Special with my Ainsley girl
Time to reconnect

Bright strawberry tops
Labor of love for lunch box
Picturing dad love

scoop of ice cream melts on top

The tip of a hat

Gentlemanly way
The girls and I felt special
Rare street encounter

why should we see sports
superbowl is not that good
why not soup-er bowl?

by Orion Hinchy

Finished

No leaks. Drain trap fixed.
Plumbing running everywhere.
Double sink for us!

Slow Sunday snuggles
Under covers, laughing smiles
Happiness abounds.

Marriage builders, wow!
Ikea projects test us
And we win with grins

A hole in the heart
may be stuffed full of fuzzy
gauze, first-aid, and stitched.

by Kirsten Perkinson

Plastic peace lights up
Around the sleeping city
With a neon wish.

by Kirsten Perkinson

See the shining moon
Give a nickel to the sun
Like a boomerang.

by Kirsten Perkinson

My friendships soothe me
I can rest in their hammocks
though the breezes blow

by Kirsten Perkinson

Kitchen Balance Challenge

Balance game challenge
Who can knock the other off?
Laughter always wins.

Sparkle Toes

Glittery layer
On top of ordinary
Girl time together

Had great time with the Yakcms
Backwards family fun!

Football rules

Sweet two on one time
Football lessons for Ainsley
"What's a sack?" and more

Was only part snarf
Blame it all on my daddy
Guess who cleans it up?

By: Avery McKay

Dog pile on big bed
Laughter and giggles abound
Daddy on bottom

Latin ballet

Latin ballet dance
Skirts flowing around like waves
Ains gets to dance too

Two girls: big, little
Climb into our bed this morn
Cuddly way to wake

Steven, a ol' friend
Abominable snowman
With Love, from Eddie

 Sweet TCU winCheering wildly with friendsRose Bowl champs, oh yeah!

Cheezit Megan

Cheezits are yummy
Square, orange food that is good
Fingers turn orange

Egg cheese sandwiches
Topped with thick hickory bacon
Thank you I'll take two.

Friends toast the new year
After pork, beets, risotto
Horns, hats, leis, champagne.
