Hot
People around here are melting.
I just returned from Maryland to visit with family at my sister's house. Hannah is looking lovely and is very bright-eyed child. She is very good natured, funny and becoming a good walker.
We visited the National Zoo and saw the pandas.
Visited the National Air and Space Museum at Dulles and saw tons of great planes including the Concorde, Enola Gay, an SR-71 and a Boeing Stratoliner, the same one that made a water landing in Elliot Bay near West Seattle while Polly and I were on the Sacramento in the shipyards.
We celebrated Hannah's first birthday party with a small chocolate-frosted cupcake, that turned very messy.
I made it back to the Hamptons' at 2 in the morning on Sunday. As soon as I opened the door to my car, Honu came charging out of the woods. She was out all night. I think she would be perfectly happy staying out, but there are owls and coyotes. I worry.
I had to wait until morning to see the boys, but they were there for breakfast. Owen has become a great talker. His ability to make cogent sentences increased to meet his innate ability to babble on. Quite impressive.
Mark and the boys built a tree house in the cherry tree in the back yard. Accessed by a ladder, slide and rope, it is a great play platform. As soon as the railing is installed, I expect to spend a few nights up there.
Last night the boys and I set up the tent in the back yard and intended on sleeping in it. Grady insisted on me telling ghost stories. I told two. After the conclusion grady announced he wanted to go inside to sleep. If I had done that unconsciously, I applaud my subconscious for making a great decision. It would have been miserable anyway, a hot night with no breeze. Instead, I was in early enough to catch the Daily Show.
