Lilac Sunday at the Arnold Arboretum, May 11, 2008

A stripey Conor, exhilirated by eating junk food and scootering through the Arboretum

Hear No Evil and his brothers (aka Desmond, Eamon, and Conor)
I think the headgear really suits all three of them

Still in search of the perfect picture of all three boys; Conor, at age 9, has finally mastered the art of sitting still and plastering on an apparently sincere smile.

Lilac Sunday at the Arnold Arboretum, Sunday, May 11, 2008, aka Mother's Day

I made a vain attempt to get a picture of all three boys in front of a lilac bush; Desmond is actually even checking out the lilacs in this one. Conor is distracted by finishing off his slush.

Eamon, Desmond (who did not want to stand still for a picture), and Conor

Okay, a decent picture of two out of three together ain't bad.

Conor and Eamon both brought their scooters; here's Conor looking like a pro, in between episodes of nearly knocking over little old ladies and small children.
