Sunday

Biking on the American Tobacco Trail.


Lucie insisted that I post this picture, even though Milo's eyes are closed. She thinks it's funny.

Sweet chair-ity

K and L got a new chair today from our friend Cici, who is moving and lightening her load.





Whoever needs the key to that cabinet, Lucie's got it in a safe place.

Fun with fractions

L wanted to know "why do you all get more than half?" To her, the division of the pizza is a binary problem: those who like only cheese should get half, and those who like all that nasty stuff should get the other half.

Typical Sunday around the house

Bath time


[actual transcript]: "Hello, 911? I need someone to come get this bad baby out of my house. He's making it so I can't even live there."

Happy birthday to Lucie

After the last guest had left, L said: "I can't wait to be six."








An unseemly hullabaloo





When this picture was taken, the discussion was of the topic "I wish..." It was strictly materialistic.

New bike. An early birthday present.


New chair. L thinks it looks like a fruit bowl.

Play date with Zoe

Marching band

Karen marched with the Scene of the Crime Rovers as part of the Durham Culture Crawl Friday night, and Chris and the boos turned out to view the event. You can see some photos here and some videos here, with cameos by Lucie and Milo in each.

Detroit trip

We took a trip to visit family in Detroit, and L and Milo had a very enjoyable time with their cousins. We went to: a picnic in Royal Oak for Julia's soccer team, Xochimilco, Belle Isle (we were disappointed that the Scott memorial fountain was down for repairs), and the Detroit Zoo (we have never seen so many minivans and Radio Flyer wagons in one place before). See more pictures in the Boo Annex.
