Personal Flotation Device

While the boys are away, the girls will play~
Mary saw the life jacket in the garage on our way in. She had blood work today, so I'm feeling especially indulgent.

Ouch!

Somehow Mary got a sliver in her hand. We tried to get it out last night, but we would have really had to dig. Here is it 24 hours later - her body is trying to heal thyself~
The sliver didn't stop her from having fun at the birthday party today~
Tonight after her bath, the sliver came right out with just a tiny bit of pressure. No crying, either!

Fast Food

I took this picture of Mary while she was waiting outside of Sam's cello class. She's eating her new favorite salad - romaine with blue cheese and balsamic vinaigrette. I'm ashamed by how many "burgers fries" she's eaten, but I need to remember that her palate is pretty sophisticated~
