Our new baby- June.

Oh man, we really had you going there! We didn't have our baby, but we did get a baby in the house today. Miss Juliet called and asked if Henry could go to a place called GattiTown. No, it's not a mob-sanctioned restaurant- it's a place in Greenville like Chucky Cheese. Actually, Miss Juliet offered to take me too, but mama thought that would be too much to have four kids with two adults in a crazy place like that.
Instead, we made a deal- take Henry and leave Christopher. He was a little nervous at first and not very happy when his mom walked out the door.

After a nice long nap, we made a terrible decision and let papa go upstairs to get him up. Bad idea. We forgot that Christopher does not like beards. Especially papa's. After that shock, he and mama had to share some good cuddling. And I helped calm him down by rubbing his back and singing him all of the songs I know.
After a big supper, Christopher was feeling much better.
He sat with mama and chewed on our toys and eventually warmed up to everyone.
While he played with toys, mama got to take a ton of pictures of him. And she started feeling much better about the hopes of someday having a new baby in the house. We sure like babies.

Even papa got a few laughs out of Christopher, after Christopher decided the beard was safe.
Check out those 3 new teeth!

Thanks again to Miss Juliet and Mister Tony for taking Henry. And anytime you want to trade again, let us know!

Play-dough- Henry.

There are some perks to mama being overdue. She doesn't want to do anything, and she feels guilty enough that she'll do things like let us play with play-dough!
Mostly, mama hates having to pick play-dough out of all the little crevices. But it helps that she had Grams here for reinforcement.
For the first time, June got to play too. And she didn't eat any of it. She was so pleased.
We played for a good hour and a half. The best part for mama was that after my nap, I went back into the dining room and vacuumed up the mess on the floor. Maybe we will play with play-dough more.
Today was also our last day of summer school. This week was pirate week. We were so proud of the pirate hats we made.
I also painted a treasure chest that I filled up with play coins and money when we went on a treasure hunt with our treasure maps. Good thing I had this periscope!
