Last week, we discovered a snail trying to get into our lettuce! Since they’re not supposed to cross copper tape, I was very curious to see what this one would do. The kids were enthusiastic snail stalkers. At one point, they were even sitting on the step with their lunches on their laps so they wouldn’t lose track of it.

And the snail inspired a little drawing project. (He never made it to the lettuce.)

We celebrated Sean’s birthday. The kids were so excited to decorate his ‘birthday chair’ all by themselves!

And Jonah couldn’t stop talking about how much Dad was going to LOVE the baseball cake. (He did.)

The kids have been riding bikes a lot. Nora looks like such a big kid making her way around on the two-wheeler.

Nora found the moon!

I made this play tent out of some cheap bedsheets. It will be great for the sunny days in the summer when there’s no shade anywhere in the backyard. For now, the kids love playing with it in the living room. Lots of pretend camping…

…and giving each other a hard time. ;)

Here’s a proud Nora with her very tall domino tower.

And here’s a great video of her counting all the ‘windows’.

Finally, Jonah had his first visit to the eye doctor. We were very happy to learn that at least so far, he seems to have inherited his dad’s excellent vision. Phew!
