Playing some Very Hungry Caterpillar on the day after Thanksgiving. Grammy won the game, which led to a much-needed learning moment about being a gracious loser.

Saturday Morning Breakfast with Grammy and Connor
Twitter Update: Changed the month on my wall calendar…
Changed the month on my wall calendar at work just now. My Memaw would have said that’s bad luck. She had lots of interesting superstitions.
A Day at the Fair
August 6, 2016: Connor’s first county fair. We’d missed our own county’s fair, so we took Connor to the fair in the next county south, in the town where Aaron and I had both attended college.
We arrived and parked in the field across the street. The afternoon started out rocky when I realized that I’d applied sunscreen to Connor’s neck at home, then put the sunscreen back down on the counter instead of in my purse. We also had only a certain amount of cash on hand, hoping that would be enough.
Connor had some preconceived ideas about what a fair was all about: some animals, but mostly rides and balloons and snacks. When we stepped out onto the midway, he was clearly overwhelmed. We managed to get him to walk through one of the barns and look at the cows, but he really only had eyes for the Ferris wheel.
We purchased enough tickets to get him a few rides, then he picked Daddy to ride with him on the Ferris wheel.
Grammy’s July Visit: A Slideshow
My Mom (aka Grammy) came to visit last month, and we had a great time at the Toledo Zoo, among other things. I’ve posted to a Flickr album all the best photos from her Canon EOS Rebel T3, my 35mm Canon AE-1, and my iPhone 6.
