Yes and No

We had a nice few days with Aunt Jeanne last week, and the weather was perfect for playing outside.  So that's what we did:

Here's a link to a bunch of pictures of the kids playing in the driveway on Friday afternoon with Aunt Jeanne:

Biking With Spiders

On Friday Aunt Jeanne helped us take Erin in for one year old pictures - she and Dex watched (and Dex rode the tractor) while Erin mostly kept her shit together for pictures.  Til the end, when we wanted to try pictures with her brother.  And.... no.  That wasn't gonna happen.  I went the cheap, cheap, cheapity cheap route and paid $13 for a photo package with one pose.  Here's what we came home with:

On Saturday after Aunt Jeanne left us (and Daddy was gone to Massena for the weekend) the kids and I went to soccer and the playground.  Then to a different playground for the afternoon, where Dex slid down the slide 87 million times and Erin slowly but surely stalked a dog, sneaking up to pet it quickly before it could run away.  And calling it "hiiii."

And finally, we videotaped Erin at dinner on Sunday evening (or maybe it was Saturday, I can't remember).  This is a pretty common meal time occurrence, and watching the video makes Dexter giggle uncontrollably.

Here's the link to watch the video.

We're happy that Daddy is home again, we all hate the goddamn time change, and we're excited that Aunt Maria is getting sprung from the hospital on Wednesday to go live in Massena til she'l better enough to live on her own again.  The view's gonna be way better from her room in Massena than it is from her hospital bed.

Also, that spider is currently living on the top of my liquor cabinet...
