Lunch in a line

At our park

Gravel is hard to walk in

Best game at the playground is throwing gravel

It's not Hollywood Beach, but it's walking distance from our house...

Turf tots

Riding some dinosaurs.

Stories Lately

Here are some stories and quips from the last few weeks:

• Phin has a Monty Python and the Holy Grail sideways gallop. It's pretty perfect. One morning he's down to his diaper and is galloping away from me; all of a sudden his diaper drops to the floor. He stops dead, looks down, then looks up at me with a quivering lower lip, like he did something wrong. Aww. 
• Micah is super into elbows. Sarah has a little German song we sing at the table that has elbows in it, and he's hooked. He will come up to you just to let you k now where your elbow is. He's very proud of himself too.
• Phin has taken to calling all persons the same thing. One day it was mamam (that's mom), the next it was baby. He even points to himself... a very equal way of looking at things, I suppose. 
• We've been playing ring around the rosy, which they love. Only they never fall down. They just like watching me fall down and laughing at me. 
• They have gotten a bit fussy about getting hands messy at meals. It goes over very well if I give them each a damp washcloth to use throughout the meal.

Selfies with dad.

Ohio fun.

In between M states, we stopped in Ohio for a few days.
