tardy weekend update

our weekend update was delayed ... but here's a quick summary of how we passed our "time off":

jack and mommy met with our playgroup at friend tyler's house. tyler and his parents were featured recently in a piece on nbc news about how products from china are found all over people's homes -- from clothes to toys to food. jack enjoyed consuming and playing with many of these fine sino products ...

saturday also brought the aforementioned swan dive into the mulch and the scratched up face. if it's not one thing, it's another. invest now in johnson & johnson stock because their band-aid sales are guaranteed to be high for the next 10 years of jack's life, at least.

saturday also brought a fun trip to the park with daddy.

on sunday, mommy and jack embarked on a long walk to visit and bring breakfast to our friends, sneetch and jellybean. it was 4 miles each way -- probably just the thing to work off the ham, egg and cheese croissant we consumed at the midway point!

and later in the day, we had play time with nana, who came to visit and celebrate her birthday. (happy birthday, nana!) nana loves to take pictures of jack, and jack loves to strike a pose, so it's a very symbiotic relationship.

here jack demonstrates his zoolander "blue steel" pose for nana:



the sand and water table is always a favorite:



jack's hammier than the morning croissant:

tormenting the cat never gets old (speaking only for jack, not floyd):



and we're still working on sitting on the trike, but we've perfected ringing the bell:



after a good (and implausibly large) meal of hamburgers, cheese, peas, peaches and caprese salad (including fresh basil, yum!), jack finds a bedtime book is always a good way to relax from a full day:

is it friday again yet?
