Graham made pancakes with our friend Emily on Sunday for a wonderful brunch

Sharp Kid

David was on his way home, Bea was napping, Graham was entertaining himself on the kitchen floor, Inga was on my hip, and Yo-Yo Ma was playing Bach as I prepared the fish and cous cous for tonight's supper. It was very calm, very quiet. Too quiet. Graham suddenly stood up and raced around the kitchen as fast as he could. He stopped, spun around, and said, "Mommy, that's much better."
"What's much better?"
"I can run much better with sharp socks."
I stopped tending to the fish and turned around.
"What do you mean, 'sharp socks'?"
"I sharpened my socks!" This, proudly said as he held up the cheese grater.

Mother - enough with the pictures. We're not having any fun.

Graham's favorite thing to make with play doh is blueberries.

Inga thinks Graham is hilarious.

Graham often applauds for himself after concerts. Favorites include The Wheels on the Bus, Happy Birthday, and This Little Light of Mine.

Bea seemed to like the swing ride at Duke Park.

Duke Park has great slides!

Here we are at Duke Park again. This, incidentally, is how I cook while holding both babies. Inga is in the sling and Bea is in my left arm, leaving the right arm free to chop, stir, saute, and help Graham dump things in bowls.

The girls love to chew on things. Here, Bea is on her tummy and Inga is attacking the wire duck.

Just chillin' with Daddy

Inga gives us the most amazingly huge smiles!

David has Inga and Graham and Bea are relaxing on the couch.

Graham's newest hobby is to dig through our recycling bin to dump water from one container to the next. He often comments, "This was my favorite juice when I was a little boy."

Bea and Inga (Bea's first battle wound is seen on her nose. We're not sure if it's self-inflicted or a love swipe from her sister.)
