Little Darlings

We have been pretty busy being sick around here (a not-so-bad cold that turned into a nasty cough for a few of us), but I'll try to make one blog entry to cover most of the week during and after Jeremy's D.C. trip...
He has been so busy this tri that it's hard to see him some days. We've been meeting him for lunch once or twice a month, and I think we'll continue. It's a lot of fun! Last week we picked him up and went to eat our lunch at Vander Veer Park. It was very sunny and warm, and the kids loved seeing the little baby ducklings in the pond (I'm sorry I didn't take a picture. Google "baby ducks" and I'm sure you'll get the idea)--Almost as much as they loved seeing Daddy!

















Jaina is starting to use her fork a lot of the time when she eats. She needs help sometimes to get the food on it, but she gets so excited!
This is Jaina hanging out in her doll stroller. She's growing so fast, she won't fit in it at all before too long!

















This is from when they took all the towels out of my kitchen drawer. That's one mess that I WAS "supervising." I was on the couch (being sick) with a book, and they were having so much fun, and the clean up didn't require a vacuum, so...
Unlike this mess. Reilly pushed a chair over to the "pantry," got the whole box of goldfish off the shelf, and proceeded to grind it into the floor...
Does he look sorry in these pictures? (He's in time out while I clean it up. I didn't have the patience to make him clean it up in each of our current moods. It was safer for both of us this way. ;-)
Yeah. No remorse. Just attitude. Sigh.
