Hammy Love

Really working on the handstand lately

We went in our pajamas to buy a pumpkin. Sometimes we take pictures of toys we don't buy.

And Happy Birthday, Gram!

The Sunday Funny

We were playing Family Trivial Pursuit, and a kids' card asked a question that Dorothy would not know.  I said I would give her three answer choices:  Richard Nixon, Ronald Reagan, or Bill Clinton.  "Bill Clinton," Dorothy guessed.  "No," I answered, "It's Richard Nixon."  "The only person I know out of those is Bill Clinton," she said, "so I thought that you might have made up the others."

"And now for the worst part...the notes!"

The Sunday Funny

Dorothy's new playground schedule has allowed her to rekindle her friendship with her kindergarten classmate Delilah, or, as Dorothy explained, "reboot" her friendship.

Birthday morning

Dorothy wanted to wake up and "follow the string!" like in a Frozen short.  The path included some toys and ended with her favorite fruit, raspberries.
