Construction hats for cleaning! It was fun to put toys away with the cleaning hats on! We also have resting hats, but I haven't been able to get a picture of them yet. William did grasp the concept quickly, though.

More cooking pictures. William's favorite is Marissa's "dirty face one". He's right, it is cute!

My New Job!

I began baby-sitting for William and Marissa on March 26th. John suggested I get hats to help set a routine. It has worked very well. Here they are in their cooking hats making cake pops.

We took a series of three victory poses, and this is the one I like the best. It was a big accomplishment for a 4 year old to run a 5K. We finished in less than an hour. I believe our official time was 59:31!

William is more interested in his medal than the clown! The medal has flying feet and a clock. It is pretty fascinating.

Here we come around the back stretch and heading for home! Notice that William is still vertical and moving quite well! Katy is in the lead.

John and Marissa got to hang out together while they waited for us finish our race.

We ran into Michelle there. Ronald is giving William a pep talk. I think the clown tried explain distance to William...5K is 3.1 miles, etc. like 4 year old cares! What a clown!

Run for the House 5K

William was so upset about not being able to do the triathlon with me, that we all signed up for this 5K. We are waiting around for the start.

Diane, me, and Jill. A little blurry, it's what I've got.

Aunt Phyll and Uncle Don's house

What a nice looking bunch of people! This is at Aunt Phyll and Uncle Don's house. Diane was coincidentally there. I hadn't seen her for at least 40 years. That was a very pleasant surprise!

Florida in March

I arrived in Florida at 8:30 this morning. We caught up a bit, ate some lunch, and went strawberry picking. This is $1.50 worth! Dad and I went swimming, then I found them a direct flight to Boston for Michael's graduation. I am so excited about that! It was a busy first day.
