Zipping around in the new garage

New favorite

A vintage Sorry game, from Dad's days, has become a regular part of our days since we introduced it this week. Malcolm picked up on the rules quickly and he carefully plots his strategy - shown here splitting moves between two pieces with the #7 card to land on a slide. He asked us today why there is no #6 card, something neither Mom nor Dad had noticed.

Thanksgiving hike

We're thankful for five wonderful months with sweet Evelyn and big brother Malcolm.

Laughing together

This morning, I woke to the sound of wild giggling downstairs. Reading the weather page in the local paper (part of his morning routine), Malcolm noted to Dad that Hawaii is still in the 80s, and then he began to tell Dad about its volcanoes - complete with volcano sound effects and a waving of arms to show the lava coming out. Evelyn herself began to erupt in giggles, and Malcolm continued to spew lava and ash to Evelyn's delight.

Sweet smiles

Nice day for sitting outside and harvesting the final tomatoes

This is our biggest tomato harvest of the year. Eureka isn't really tomato country. In other news, Evelyn had her 4 month checkup this week - she's as healthy as can be and growing fast: 18 lbs, 2 oz and 25.25 inches!
