Independence

Image
We had a big weekend of independence around here. First, C had an opportunity to spend 15 minutes holding down the fort, while both Bella and I me were out of the house (D was at a birthday party). Second, after Taroh spent the night on Saturday, both boys journeyed up to the French Deli on their own to get pastries for breakfast.   And Sunday evening, after tea, C and D went around the block, on their own, and on their bikes, in the twilight.

Happy Mothering Sunday

Essex: C Version

Image
After feeding goats and chickens at a farm on the way to see Adrian, we took a bunch of dogs- Adrian, Tilly + Linsey's- out for a walk.  The kids loved it. C threw an old tennis ball for a hour for a black lab who didn't stop for a minute. I'm sure everyone- dogs and kids- are now well asleep.

A Day in Essex: D Version

We went to see Bella's brother Adrian today.  Long story short- D got very friendly with dogs. She was walking two of them at one point.
