New Hampshire Vacation

One of Scott's friends offered his parents condo timeshare in NH, so off we went for 5 days in the White Mountains. It was a great vacation -- just enough to do with the kids that we weren't bored, but not so much that we didn't allow for some resting time. We hiked, biked, swam in the pool and all piled into a luxurious king size bed for hanging out and sleeping. Kiki even shucked her first corn cob. She had great fun draping Rowan with the "hair."

July things

Scott said to me, "Kiki's so smart. She said something very insightful right now...what was it.....?"

As he sits thinking, Kiki jumps into the silence and says: "I AM A BANANA!" (More existential than insightful, if you ask me.)

"No, no, no. That's not what she said. She said, 'I can't do it by myself. We need to cooperate.' "




"Cradle, cradle, cradle. I made it out of clay" (sung to Dreidle, dreidle, dreidle -- sp?)

Kiki expands her vocabulary

"No, he's not gay. He's Ro-Ro."
