Moving day is fast approaching and our house is getting very echo-y. Here are the latest pics before my computer gets packed up. Edie is full-on crawling now and doesn't need to drag herself from squiggle to squiggle. And she has four whole teeth, very sneaky. Pictures of Eric's graduation present to himself will have to wait... Posting soon from Clemson, SC!!!
We had a great time Friday night, went out to Korean BBQ which was DLS! and then went bowling and have been arguing about it ever since: the gift that keeps on giving...
Note our boss matching sweatshirts! How could you not?
The relief is so palpable. I can't believe it's done! Well, it's not really done as Eric has some editing to do, but that is a minor point compared to getting through the defense.
I got Eric to give me some photos he's been hoarding on his phone too:
We went to a Butterfly Garden in Thornton on Saturday. Oscar was very careful to not step on the butterflies, and one giant yellow one kept trying to eat Eric's sweet red hoodie.
This owl hung out in our neighbor's tree across the street for a long time, looking noble.
This is from a few months ago at the Discovery Museum. Future astronauts?!?
We got some pics, we got some vids, we got a spanking new three year old in the house! And boy is he three!
I made John a chocolate cake that involved literally more than two pounds of chocolate. He liked it very much, and he liked it for breakfast best.
Auntie Liz got him several boss t-shirts, and he wore the one with a detachable cape all day today. He liked running around with his bubble mower, pretending he was flying.
He runs very carefully, most of the time, by doing more of a giant walking stride than a run.
He likes to wear his fox pajamas, but he calls them his "Boxes!" and I say, "No, fffffffoxes!" and he says "fffffffff-Boxes!".
Every single time he sees a yellow bus, green bus, dump truck, fire truck, race car, minivan, truck, van, taxi, or motorcycle is the very best time.
He is very polite and always says, "Please can I have more candy please?" How cruel I am to say no!
And for his birthday, he got all the bubbles. And they were his, not Oscar's. Never Oscar's.
Two weeks ago we went to Clemson to see the lab and try to buy a house. Well, we found a house! And we got to do a few other things too.
We got there! First stop, Atlanta GA to say hello to Mark and Kristine. We got to the restaurant first, so that's who got to be in the photo.
There's an enormous bamboo in the stairwell of our building. It's 2.5 stories tall.
Edie has two teeth, and loves to grab your face!
I love this picture with only Edie blurry.
She is very strong!
On our last day we went for a walk near the apartment we were staying in. The apartment was gross and depressing, but this walk made us feel much more hopeful.
We spotted a turtle! A good omen for sure.
REEEEEDDD BUUUUD!
What is this crazy yellow plant? A raspberry/rose hybrid?
