Sometimes, SOMETIMES ... doing the dishes is interesting.

One night last week Dave surprised us by getting home at 4:00PM! Apparently things were slow enough at the hospital that day that one resident got to go home early. It all came down to a game of ROCK-PAPER-SCISSORS. Dave won after 10 tie games! That is pretty intense. It was a happy evening for our family.

On post-call Friday we picked Dave up from the hospital and went to the zoo. Malcolm loves it there. He says "zoo", and "eff-eff" for elephant, and "lola" for koala.



If koalas could read, they might look something like this up in their trees.


On Saturday we enjoyed the FEAST in Little Italy. THE BEST sausage and pizza! This Weekend is the Greek Festival, we can't wait.


Malcolm LOVES to draw. He says "daw-daw". When ever he sees a crayon, pencil, pen, paper, - "daw-daw". He loves his notebook. It's an artist's notebook I had and it is perfect for him. The pages are sturdy enough for his intense page turning and big enough for his grand strokes. It's great because day after day he uses it, layering his art work and there is no need for me to keep finding paper for him. He likes it when I join in too, writing his name and drawing faces, birds, trees, dump trucks, rocket ships, dogs, and yes, koalas.

Mom, you asked for a picture. This one is pretty sweet. I don't seem to have my writing muse with me today so that will be all for now.

We went out after breakfast to the swings before it got too hot. It's so nice to see you smile boy.

Happy Birthday Grandpa-DAD!
