dandelions

• George, you and I went to Kim's house this morning to snuggle baby Audrey.  Oh my.  It was so nice to hold a wee one.  So fresh.  So sweet.  
• George, you're always so excited to pick Lila up from school.  We always peek around through the back windows to try and spy her.
• Lila,  you're still skipping your little heart out.  I love your "skipping face."  It almost looks like you're in pain but you're actually having the time of your life.
• There's a grassy patch in the middle of the round about at your school.  You guys love to play there.  It's shady with big blossom trees and a few boulders to climb on, and an assortment of flowers blooming.  Today it was full of dandelions that had gone to seed.  Lila, you spent a lot of time gathering stems, then shook them to release all the seeds at once.  It was fantastic.  The seeds settled in your hair and made you look like a little duck with down.  
• Jane, you actually came home today after school!  It was great to have you around.  We miss you.
