~Big Sun~

I stepped out onto my back patio and discovered this drawing.  Someone is longing for sunshine and palm trees, I'd say.  I wonder who that might be.

La Ultima Clase

Dear Adam--

Happy Last Class Day!!!

Adam's last law school class gets out at 11:45 AM today. We're almost done!
I reminded Adam and the kids that this is probably the last formal education class he will ever attend. Adam said, "Well, Kari, it's been fun, but my real passion is anthropology, and I'd actually like to be a dentist."

Notice the date in the photo (April 15 2006).

Mexico plates

See these fancy plates? Emily designed, painted, and named them, "Mexico plates". 

¡Muy bien!

What is warm?

Emily asked me this when I had a cold. I told her that warm is when it's neither hot nor cold. She said, "No, mom. Warm is when you don't have a cold!" I'm not warm right now.

Friday morning, before 7 AM, Adam returned home form the grocery store with bags of groceries. He set the bags down on the table and showed me what he bought:

Cereal and milk for breakfast,

Lunchables and snacks for the kids,

Chicken noodle soup, lotion tissues,

Airborne (which he told me to take right away),

& Cold-eeze lozenges for me and my cold . . .

What a man!

Three-year-old son

Presents to unwrap, tractor for scooping cake crumbs

Airplanes to fly, racecar for zooming along

"fancy cars" to see equal birthday fun for a three year old.

"I'm one!"

Robert Jay turned one on Sunday.

Here we are, Mikey waiting for Robbie to be up from his nap, and me in my fancy apron from Mexico, I believe.

First, presents

then the cake--yellow cake with hidden pumpkin puree and very visable polka-dots. 

Robbie dabbled in the cake at first...

and then he picked up the whole scoop of ice cream we gave him and ate it, then grabbed chunks of cake with both fists. 

It was a wonderful birthday mess, for a wonderful birthday boy.
