Sorry that we have not written in the last ten days or so. This has been a really busy time for us. The girls are up north with Grandma (Omi) and Grandpa (Grampy) so that the rest of us can do some spring cleaning. Here’s Alex with a sample of what we’ve been organizing — in this case, the pantry:
We are so happy to have this chance, but it’s meant not only being away from the girls, but also less time around the computer.
Also, besides the cleaning and organizing, we have one new significant variable: a crawling, curious 8-month-old. Since Peter started crawling about 10 days ago, life has become very different! Suddenly everything is a target, an item to eat, a potential choking hazard, etc. Like the dogs, Peter seems to love the trash. I guess this is an improvement over Thomas, who at this age fell in love with splashing in the toilet. Anyway, it’s been time-consuming. But he is awfully cute!
Meanwhile, the girls have been having fun cooking and eating up north. Here’s the evidence.
