Deer!

Griffin and I stumbled upon some deer this evening:




Griffin was a big fan, and the deer were totally fearless.

A Great Time in Maryland

The kids and I went to Maryland to visit Grandma this weekend, along with our indispensable entourage of Grammy, Uncle Henry and (official-next-spring) Aunt Tina. Lucy spent three hours in the pool with Aunt Pam, and was very sad when pool time finally ended.

Of course, there were some other pleasant-enough times:



Including a tasty pizza party:



Griffin and his second-cousin, Hannah, weren't too pleased when their moms ditched them on the porch:




"Griffin, if we stand here by the door and ignore the other grown-ups, do you think our mommies will come back sooner??"

"I dunno, Hannah, but let's not take any chances!"

All-in-all, we had a wonderful time:




Thanks to Tina and Henry for the photos, and to Tina for being so comfy.
