Aquarium with Papa and Aunt JorJor

Adirondacks 2015

Two dogs, two kids, two adults packed in like sardines in a can. 

June bug's first canoe trip was much more successful than the rowboat debacle of last year. 

A few photos courtesy of a friend:

Sacked out bug.  

How this came about, I'm not sure, but it was by far June's favorite craft activity.  She was extremely impatient to shove sharp wire ends into my scalp, and hurried me along with repeated cries of "let's go!"  and "turn around!" 

Sacked out baby. 

Smartest boy

Dadism 2, revised

June: daddy you got your hair cut
Eric: yes, I got them all cut
Jess: Oy

Dadism 2

There was a real gem this morning I didn't write down, so this will stand in as the second documented dadism:

[upon encountering me standing over a table covered in milk, holding a baby, wiping milk off the pages of a book ]
E: what happened?
J: the milk spilled
E: well no use crying over it.
[J groans and rolls eyes]

It's a long way to New York

I found the missing crayon.

Fun at the dentist

At least until they wanted to look at her teeth, after which it was not so fun.

Happy (blurry) baby
