Playing with a New Toy

It's a hot Memorial Day here in Cambridge, and Lucy is at the park frolicking in the water feature with Elliot, while Griffin and I hang at home. Here's a video of him clinging to one of Lucy's old baby toys:

He's resting on a quilt that Grandma (my grandmother) made him because of his nickname. Very sweet!

Finally, Lucy and I had a very funny exchange earlier today as we were driving by some holiday crowds:

Lucy: Mommy, why are there so many people?
Me: Because it's a holiday, sweetie.
Lucy: Is it Shabbat?
Me: No, it's Memorial Day.
Lucy: Oh. We eat challah on Memorial Day too?

I guess holiday and challah day do sound awfully similar...

A Day at the Fair

The kids and I met Aunt MelMel at the DCD Fair today. What a blast!

From cotton candy...

to fire truck rides...

to riding a real pony (twice!)...



Lucy had a fabulous time. Griffin? Well, he slept through it all, but in a couple of years, he'll love it too.
