watching the sharks

Tonight, for twenty-five minutes, Ana and Ethan walked in circles around the house, talking and laughing pretty much constantly. For those of you who haven't seen our house, it's small, and that's a lot of circles. Meg and I just sat on the couch and watched. It was kind of like watching the fish at the Boston Aquarium swim in circles, only more entertaining and much louder. Here's a snippet.

Big

It is official - we have two walking kids in our house now. Enjoy the video of our proud little man.

April

April was a dreary, bleak month in Maine, other than the last day, but we did have some bright spots along the way. The month started with a visit from Dave's parents, during which Ana got to make homemade playdough. This was a huge highlight. We also walked outside when the weather cooperated, and sometimes when it didn't, and Ana got to decorate her first Easter eggs.

Mike and Mary visit

Ana and Ethan's grandparents came to visit in mid-March. They were thrilled with their new wagon, which Mike had lots of very useful help assembling.
