* note to myself because I want to remember this story 20 years from now: We went to see the "Crawldaddies" give a cajun inspired free concert at Strathmore. They gave out beads to the little dancing kids. The boy got his hands on some, and at the end of the evening when we left to go, he was absolutely adamant that he return them to the guys. So he walked up the the stage and placed them at the feet of the lead singer while they are still performing. They train them too well at the Montessori school!

The arrival of the iPad has created a backlog in the blog. Three days without power and a second minor outage last week can also be blamed. Summer isn't helping either, because most days we are busy being out and about, taking some pictures, but not taking the time for the actual computer where I still do my picture downloading and processing.



For the record, we have been to the pool, and an outdoor concert, and to the Farm (supposedly to "pick" peaches, but really we just rode the green tractor, and bought already picked peaches at the store). We've gone to the parks and rode the train, and bought ice cream from the ice cream truck. The boy got his first haircut, and man did he do a good job. He was actually excited about going (thanks creators of "Oswald"). We've rode the metro to visit D.C., and rode the metro for no other reason than to ride the train. I've finished two knitting projects and started two new ones. I sewed a bag and a mini bag, and am trying to find more time for more sewing. I've decided I need a crafty budget, so that my obsessions with making things don't completely bankrupt us. We got an iPad and I think it's quickly becoming mine, and I like it.



Lots of bloggable moments, but I'm to busy living them, so the pictures and elaboration will have to wait.
