Thank Goodness for Normal Weekends

Of course with these two, "normal" is a relative term...

Calvin had a great time at the playground at Zilker Park this weekend.

Here he is hatching a play to carjack the fire truck at the park.

"Aw, man! Whaddya mean I can't drive the truck???"

Free tickets to the gun show, folks. Looking at those guns makes me a little less worried about boys when she gets older. I think she can handle them pretty well herself.

And anyone she can't overpower physically will be disarmed by her biting wit and sarcasm.

"Orange is my FAVORITE COLOR, Daddy!" (repeated at least a dozen times daily)

Here's Calvin just chillin' with Mommy.

And Mommy with Aivy.

Then there's Daddy with Calvin AND Aivy.



We really love watching Calvin and Aivy play together. I wish that they hadn't seen me while I was watching them moments before these pictures were taken. Aivy was "reading" aloud to Calvin beginning every page with "once upon a time" then proceeding to describe what she saw on the pages. It was absolutely a wonderful moment that I hope I can burn into my memory. I just wish that memories weren't so fleeting...
