August 28, 2009

We were getting into the car and as usual, this meant running around in the driveway for a minute. it's been so hot, sunny and humid here that the girls usually make a beeline for the car but today was cooler and cloudy and so they enjoyed their time outside a bit more.









We went to our friend Mia's house to play with her, Owen, and their friend Rachel. I love these three making funny faces and playing Polly Pockets together.

Kate and Owen shared toys very nicely but you can tell Kate's in a lunchtime mood here.

In fact, when Suki heard the word "lunch" she went straight to the table and took her seat. She stayed there while Beth made macaroni and cheese, washed fruit, plated everything -- she would not be moved.

A lunchtime crowd.

We got Suki's diagnosis today after her MRSA culture came back negative -- she's got linear eczema, treatable with the steroid foam we have. We are so relieved.

Tonight we had some friends over for a pizza party:
They have faces, I swear, but they also have a strong sense about privacy and so I blurred them out just a bit. Suki loved chasing and our friends started a new game where Kate flung her (empty) plate to the ground and they would run to pick it up. Everyone was laughing so hard we adults could barely hear each other in the next room.

Is Grace picking out her own clothes these days? I remember us having so much fun when we were little and allowed to pick our own!
