Jonah loves to help out. Here he is preparing swiss chard to saute and eating the loaf of bread that was meant to be shared by the whole family. We eventually were able to pry the baguette out of his hands while he screamed, "WANT BAG IT! WANT BAG IT ALL OF IT!!!" Even with the bite marks, that Pearl Bakery Baguette was tasty.
I'm fairly sure that Mae's faith in humanity was briefly rocked as she got one shot after the other during her 4 year doctor visit. Unfortunately between shot three and four, the poor nurse dropped the shot, and so had to leave us for an agonizing 5 minutes before giving the final poke. Tears were shed by mother AND daughter after that one. Luckily, as the picture attests, ice cream erases all such memories. Oh, and Mae weighed in at 33lbs, and measured 3 ft, 2 inches in height.
The weather was beautiful this weekend and we were fortunate enough to have plans for the beach. We stayed at a beach house in Manzanita Oregon with grandpa and grandma Clark and Auntie Kealie and her boyfriend Chris. We came back from one of 3 trips to the beach today and stopped for some ice cream. Jonah pretty much stole my ice cream and had a wonderful time doing so. He is a happy kid. I love this little boy so much.
