The craziness of the start up of school subsided last week and the insanity of Homecoming kicks in next week. In the meantime, I got to spend a couple late mornings at home with the kids. Here is Edison in a family heirloom cradle, pretending to be a little baby. Usually it is the home of his stuffed animals.
The kids also like to pretend that the couch is a ship. Edison throws things over the side and shouts, "anchors away!"
Eben's work got him an iPhone so he can check work emails all the time. Not sure if that is a good thing or not. But it definitely has increased the cool quotient in the our household. We already have a MacBook and they are very easy to use together.
We spent Saturday morning exploring Willis Tucker Park near our house. We went there in summer to play in the splash park (in the background), today we went on the walking trails and hung out at the playground. I even ran into my friend Kim, former high school classmate and co-captain of the swim team with me our senior year. That was fantastic and she has a daughter only a couple months older than Charlotte...
Ride the pony!
Charlotte loves the swing. Too bad the outstanding view of Mt. Baker didn't show up very well in this shot.
Yesterday we celebrated by dad's seventieth birthday!
We got all dressed up in our "party clothes." Charlotte liked playing with the ribbons and butterflies on her dress. What a beautiful dress to pass along, thanks, Grace!
The back of the dress was super cute as well. I think Charlotte looks like a little woodland fairy here. All that is missing is the wings.
I wish they were all looking... but what can you do? We went out for an excellent dinner at Outback steakhouse. The kids did amazingly well through a leisurely dinner, though we did have to buy them off with an ice cream sundae at the end to keep them happy.
