Springs Preserve

Another great day in Vegas, courtesy of (who else but) Rachel DeWald. Henry, KG, and I hung out with her, AJ, Eisley, and Tegan at Springs Preserve, where they have an awesome nature exchange and all kinds of cool science stuff for the kids.

On Our Way To "The Magic Place"

Essentially the same picture but I love them both so much!

Looney Tunes

His mind is currently overrun with Bugs, Daffy, Wile E. Coyote and the rest. He loves them so much, he even sleeps with his new Looney Tunes book (which is pretty great, to tell you the truth).

Marble Toy From Dave and Anni

Space Shuttle

Took me about a week, but I finally got around to putting together Henry's space shuttle birthday present. Thanks Indira!

Arizona Road Trip with Mommy

Doctor Dolittle

If you're looking for a good starter chapter book, this one worked great for Henry. We read it to him every night for a couple of weeks and he ate it up. It's full of kindness, charm, and humor, and is the exact right difficulty level for a five year old.

Visiting The Chaddas

Bubble BBQ

On Sunday, I took the family to a "Bubble BBQ" thrown by our skeptic's group - the best day we've had out in a long time. KG and I got the chance hang out, chat with families we love, and enjoy beautiful SoCal. But it was the kids who had the time of their lives. Henry nearly lost his mind playing with countless bubble toys, games, etc. More days like this, please!
