Absence

I haven't posted for a while for two reasons. First, I have been pretty dang busy. Second, I watched an Oprah on internet predators and this security guy comes on and says that he doesn't understand why people post pictures of their children on the internet and how he would never post pictures of his kids.
Well, this totally creeped me out because all I do is post pictures of my kid. I was discouraged for a while and actually thought about deleting all my posts. But really, it seems very unlikely that anyone would be looking at my blog who didn't already know me and this sure is a convenient way to update everyone. We'll see. I'm trying to balance caution with paranoia. Let me know if you have an opinion.

Some things we did in May

Danica has discovered the best in the house for many occasions.



Danica, Kristi, and Summer enjoying a dip in the pool. They're all getting older and changing so fast. This was the first time the girls did all the playing with Danica in the pool and I didn't feel like I needed to be in there with them- I just stayed close enough. Danica would disappear upstairs to play with the kids and I didn't feel like I had to check on her every two minutes to make sure she wasn't eating candles or something.

This is Danica's little friend at school. If there's anything cuter than a little girl in pink, it's two little girls in pink.



The beginning scholar.



Note to self: People who are allergic to every furry animal on the planet and are generally repulsed by animal smells should not take their children to the petting zoo. It's disturbing for the adult and disappointing for the child. It never occurred to me that she would actually want to go IN the pen with the animals.

Vomit.

I wonder if she understood me when I kept repeating, "You'll have to come back with your dad."



Operating heavy machinery.



Washable markers are a great invention. She wears her backpack while watching Dora.



Who doesn't love ice cream?
