Popsicle Chronicles

She tried a popsicle. And liked it.

Nat's been home from Mother's Day Out all week -- with hurt fingers, a runny nose, and a cranky disposition (not that I blame her). What's the best cure for crankiness? Sand, of course. It's her first sand box (really a small plastic pool), newly set up today.

She might have slept in it, had I not finally dragged her out, sweaty and screaming (her, not me), after almost an hour.

Party Girl

Natalie got some fingers smashed pretty badly over the weekend and turned out to be a real trooper. That's all I can say. She has a high pain tolerance and a desire to go back to the party, even after losing a few fingernails.

Out Front

We spend a lot of time in the front yard, partly because the back yard is still a mess, but mainly because we're front-porch people. Or I am. It's how I've met a few neighbors and their dogs. Sitting on the front step makes the world seem a little smaller.

V-Day at Camp

6/16/2012

Megan was disappointed that it was "just" me picking her up at camp. She'd really missed Natalie and wanted to show her off to her cabinmates. (Nat had a fever the day before V-Day -- though Aaron seemed to suspect I'd put the thermometer on a heating pad so I could make the four-hour drive each way without the baby).

I think Aaron missed visiting camp (the same camp he went to decades ago). Me, though, I enjoyed the baby-less ride there and the one-on-one time with Megan on the way back. And Aaron and Natalie had a great dinner waiting for us, with hugs all around. I sure was happy to get that girl home, if only for a while.

Cheese Fries, Again

Aaron had to work out of town for more than a week. Natalie was thrilled to get him back. Here we are at Snuffer's again.
