Father's Day and Cousins' Day

Rain fouled our plans for a picnic and softball, but Tom enjoyed a brief walk with his girls during the break between showers, and we all had a happy Father's Day. For some reason Alice showed up more in pictures from the day--but Edith's shirt covered in footprints and her class's collective Dad's Guide to Fixing Anything (instructions contributed by preschoolers) were great hits.


The day before Father's Day we celebrated Great-Aunt Eleanor's birthday with all the cousins in Delaware.

Those last pictures of Edith and Alice are absolutely scrumptious!

So, do we get to hear what Edith contributed to the Dad's Guide . . . ?

I would like to see the WHOLE list! Kids that age are so funny - even when they are trying to be serious. I love it! And years ago I figured out why my own babies appeared in pictures more than my toddlers and pre-schoolers. They didn't have their "legs" yet and were usually being held by whomever I was taking the picture of. The toddlers and pre-schoolers were busy running around and getting into things - too busy to sit still for a pic. Happy Father's Day to Tom!
