They surprised me with flowers this morning. And this surprise was on my desk when I came wandering home from working late last night. I wonder what the demonstrated civic leadership was? Not even sure what that means exactly. When we were home from errands they were gone in bathing suits before lunch was […]
Alicia brought little desserts like these on Monday, and they liked them so much they made their own. It’s just little sponge cakes from a package with cool whip and berries, but they love them SO MUCH. I asked her, “How are you? Is that good?” Her answer: “I happy.” After lunch we planted flowers.
Heidi and Joe had us all for brunch. My parents came. Everyone pitched in with food until it was a feast. Jay was up early cooking sausage and bacon to take with. Kirsten made some blueberry-cream cheese pastry in her quesadilla maker. Joe made cinnamon rolls in the waffle iron. Who knew that

Okay, I had never heard of this before, but no surprises there. They play a game called ninja, where they go from one place in the house, quietly as possible, without touching the floor. So what are they touching? All the furniture and railings. Is furniture meant to be walked upon? That would be no.
I saw this outside and it made me laugh. That big urn planter was found in the dumpster at the cabin last summer. People do this–they throw items in our dumpster when we’re not there. Anyway, there were two. The other one is still at the lake. I imagined repainting it and planting flowers in
Yesterday this guy came by himself for a couple hours. He cried when his mom left. His cousin p.j. came over to pat him and climbed up too. After a minute she asked, “Where did his mommy go? I said to a class. She told the baby, “My mommy went to work.” Yes, she did.
We had a good weekend, including a sleepover. Maria went to prom with her friends. Heidi did her hair. He did not go to prom and did his own hair. People came for supper on Saturday night. He rode his bike down the stairs off the deck at his house. It was only two stairs,
Okay the snazzy toenails sure made me happy today. I can see now the little girl is grown up enough to cooperate with a process like this–very nice. And then, a few minutes later, this child was in the room: She was looking all around and then carefully looked in the VCR player. ??? I
This is the beautiful puzzle Lydia put together last night apparently. When I asked to see it, she said she’d rolled it up and put it back in the box. Well, smart child, she took pictures first. This is impressive. And on my list for two weeks now is to sew some baby blankets. The
It was a weekend, and the weather was gorgeous. So much sun, all good. Dan and Alicia came for lunch on Saturday. I love how he’s grinning like that next to the unruly, overgrown bulb garden and the multiplication place mat. Bare feet, striped shirt, perfect. The driveway was the prelude to a trip to
