A study in Johns

He is this Mama's boy. 

Apple orchard: then and now

It's nice to know some things never change.

Apple farm

When Grandma and Natalie were here last week, we went to the apple farm!

Dexter cider mill

Since we were in town for cousin Jessica's wedding we went to the Dexter cider mill.


We enjoyed the cider, but the real draw was the doughnuts.



And the photo ops, for our Mama.

Ray School, again

Julia in room 102


Anna in room 104


Both of us in our library! 

Pay no attention to the small boy on the floor.

Ray School

Three weeks in, and we already own this place

Chicago Children's Museum

Our Mama was on call, so our Daddy took us to the dino bone, digging, building, climbing museum.





And six hours later we agreed to come home again.  We love this place!

Safe passage

We have plenty of eyes looking out for us.

Daddy and me

I love my big boy bed

but I am in no way fooled that it is anything other than a crib mattress on the floor.  Call a spade a spade, people.

Artwork

If you guessed a porcupine and a flower... point for you!

If you guessed a pig bus... well, of course it's a pig bus.  I mean, it is clearly labeled.

Labor Day treat

Our Mama and Da were gifted with a rare weekend off.  Entirely off.  Free from work.  So we made doughnuts.  Beignets, to be precise.  And they were delicious!
