More Weekend

Today's postcard

Saturday afternoon and evening brought good times to Steph and Mike's neighborhood. In the afternoon was a home-run derby downt he street, complete with orange construction fence to block off the street.

In the evening was a karaoke party. Aaron and Nora spent the night with me (and all went well here.)

Sunday, Steph, Sarah, Nora and I met Bridget and Helen for an Art and Music Festival by the river. Nora was loving the chance to make a butterfly at the Kid Zone. And no, I didn't ask Steph and Sarah to pose behind her.

As you can see, Nora was very conscientious about technique and color selection.

Then there was a stop at the Fourth and Monmouth Street Graeter's, although Steph opted for a latte from Steamboat Bagels next door.

Nora's fav at Graeter's is the vanilla ice cream. She did try the strawberry chocolate once when she and I were out, but the huge chunks of chocolate, everybody's else's joy, were a little overwhelming for her and she ate around them. Once again, seriousness required.

Nora always recalls our Graeter's trip when she tripped over a chair leg and bumped her head. It happened when she and I went for a big-sister outing a few days after Aaron was born. We held the cold ice cream cup to her head - very memorable.
