Endings
 | It's been four years plus in the making, but Woody finally finished Max's baby blanket! To be fair, there were a couple of years in there where she couldn't keep a knitting project out for fear of Max undoing it, but now that he's older, she's been working on it regularly. Max loves it, and has already selected her next project: a sweater for him! We picked out yarn -- he picked out the color -- last weekend. |
 | Max's best friend -- Caden, in the "Scotland" shirt -- left Hilo this week, which was sad for all of us. Caden's parents, like Caden, have been in our lives here almost since we arrived, and we'll all miss them. That didn't stop the kids -- Caden is flanked by longtime running-mates Kaj and Sienna -- from having a rollicking time at Auntie Julie's Play Group last Friday. Max provided entertainment, reading his favorite book of penguin poems (Judy Sierra's Antarctic Antics in dramatic style. |
Beginnings
 | I'm not much for yard work, I'll admit. So it was with some satisfaction that I finally got around to destroying (which Max enjoyed) and removing the old wooden bench swing -- useless since we arrived -- on the patio. Max answered the question of what to do with that space pretty quickly, "I wish we had a two-person swing".... |
 | This was a success! Max's regular patio-snacks have all been in the swing since it went up. Now, I'm just waiting for a break in the rain so I can mow.... |
