I made a cute little top for cute little Iris to wear on her cute little bike. It’s nice and short, so now she can bike all fancied-up without worrying about getting mud on her ruffles! Naturally, all that measuring and marking and cutting and pressing snipping and sewing calls for a photoshoot, so I took her down to the picturesque backdrop of greenery and water along the Massawippi River.

Iris: “Goodness gracious, not another photoshoot with adorable me wearing a cute outfit in a picturesque area along the Massawippi.”

Mama: “Fine. If you don’t feel like showing off your adorability, please at least hug your brother.”

(This almost always works.)

Iris (to Akiva) “Cheek-cheek?”

Akiva: “Are we cute?”
