Conductors

Midnight express, where midnight is a metaphor for after bedtime, but before one has actually been sent off.

Biking the W&OD to Clarke's Gap

And back!  We all made it and we were all glad that only Uncle David had to go back for the lost water bottle.  It was such a beautiful day!  Thanks for all the fun!

Night, Night

“I think we dream so we don’t have to be apart for so long. If we’re in each other’s dreams, we can be together all the time.”
― A.A. Milne, Winnie-the-Pooh

Little man, big bike gloves

I am so cool!

Bricks

Today Edmund is enjoying the backyard.  I have added the line of bricks to help keep down the weeding between the courtyard and the "garden".  Edmund can life the bricks and move them around (hence the extras so that the line stays in place).

Walking Along

Hi, just out for a walk. Also, I found my pockets.  They are quite fun!  Mom likes this poem about pockets.

LITTLE BOYS POCKET

Do you know what's in my pottet? 
Such a lot of treasures in it 
Listen now while I bedinit. 
Such a lot of sings it holds 
And everysing dats in my pottet 
And when and where and how I dot it! 

First of all here's in my pottet 
A beauty shell I pit'd it up 
and here's the handle of a tup 
That someone has braked at tea 
The shell's a hole in it you see. 
Nobody knows dat I've dot it. 
I teep it safe in my pottet. 
And here's my pennies one,two,free 
That Aunt Mary Dave to me. 
To-morrow I will buy a spade 
When I'm out walking with the maid 
I tan't put dat in my pottet 
But I can use it when I've dot it. 

Here's some more sings in my pottet 
Here's my bead and here's my string 
And once I hand an iron ring 
But through a hole it lost one day 
And this is what I always say 
A hole's the worst sing in a pottet 
Be sure and mend it when you've dot it.

See No Evil

Not that there is much around anyway...

Where are they?

Hiding.                                                                              There they are!

Vacuum

This us the way we clean the floor, or walls, or whatever we can reach.

Excited

You would be excited too if Dad came home and played with you.  Duplos galore!

Sleepy Readers

Naps are often best when followed by a good book.

Messy Dinner

And lots of playing = bath time!

Waiting In Wonder

I wanted to share with you the amazing confluence of my life.  A friend, Catherine Claire Larson, has published the pictured book, Waiting In Wonder.  It is a devotional journal or expectant mothers.  It is quite encouraging and I am looking forward to using it if Edmund ever gets a sibling.  I am also excited to be able to give it to friends who are populating the earth.  I won the pictured iPad in a push to get the word out about the book.  In the background is a baby afghan I have just finished for our new nephew Nathan Samuel.  We are so glad he has joined our family.  With the iPad we will be enjoying some FaceTime with our new cousin.

Who looks guilty?
