Viruses

A nasty virus has been making it's rounds in our part of town. Molly & I got it. The entire family across the street got it. And the entire family on the next block got it (that's two out of the three families that we know in our neighborhood, in case you're counting). Fortunately, Zach & Clara have been spared (so far). It kept Molly out of school for tree days (!) and me in bed for nearly two days. Here, Molly shares her secret to getting better with the kid from across the street (they enjoyed a "sick party" while his Mom ran to the store to get a new humidifier. ). Her secret? Watching lots of videos about trucks trucks trucks.

delicious!

thanks for the beautiful sweater set!

let the drool begin

well, it began a few weeks ago, but now we're geared up and ready to face it. :)

Redwood Valley Railroad

All the girls, in action!

Random pictures from Nona's visit. More to come. Really. I promise.

Pictures: The girls painting the new coat hangers (one to be hung at just the right height for Molly, so she can put her own coat away!); Molly licking the bowl after another successful banana bread making adventure (with no loud mixer!); Clara, enjoying her hands; A cow that looks like Molly; Nona and Clara on our Ardenwood adventure.

Clarie-Berry

Molly loves rhyming nicknames. Her current nickname for little sis is "Clarie-Berry" (from "Clara-Bear-a" & "Clare-Bear"). Nona get's "Noni Noni!" and "Noni Boney", I get "Mama-bama", etc. Here's Clari enjoying her big sister's artwork & a little sunshine in the kitchen.

I love you guys sooooo much!

(that's what Molly says these days)
