Swinging and pickleball, May 2022 A late-May afternoon in 2022. Mom and a little girl in a red flowered shirt shared a wooden swing out on the lawn, both of them laughing hard. About fifteen minutes later Mom was on the pickleball court, paddle in hand, serving across the net to the girl. With: Mom, Ava

Fourth of July 2022 on the patio Fourth of July 2022, out on a shady patio. Mom read 'What Are You Doing, Spot?' to a little girl in a red T-shirt and a sparkly USA star headband, while a white-bearded man in a white T-shirt and slippers sat nearby. Half an hour later the three of them were still out there together. With: Mom, Ava, Dad

Reading together in the big armchair An April afternoon in 2022. Here's Mom reading to a curly-haired little girl who is squeezed into the big carved armchair with her. Through the glass doors behind them you can see the sunroom, and a copy of The Dirt Book sits on the floor nearby. Broadmead. With: Mom, Ava
