John napping

John had a busy morning of baseball and playing in our backyard with
Mary. Note how his fingers are intertwined in front of his mouth.

Portraits of the family

We had our portraits taken last weekend and wanted to share a few of our favorites.

Mary and Jackie picking strawberries

Thanks to Jackie's mom Deb for the photo! The strawberries were delicious!

Tooth update

Well, Mary's tooth did come out during school yesterday. She was very excited and was given a tiny pink plastic treasure chest by the school nurse. Last night she left her tooth in a special Peter Rabbit container next to her bed and woke up this morning to find $3 from the Tooth Fairy.

Tooth or Dare

Mary's top tooth became very loose this morning and started bleeding. This upset Mary very much. Meg tried her best to comfort her and urge her to pull it out. John watched with a combination of fascination and alarm. The tooth did not come out and Mary walked to school with an envelope and towel to hold the tooth and mop up any blood.

Swingers

Grandma Trish is visiting and she and Mary are spending a beautiful
afternoon outside.
