Moment of Discovery


Photo-A-Day #3688

I’m back home from my couple of days in Austin, Texas. I’m still savoring the thought of that meal at the Moonshine Grill. One of the best I’ve ever had. Back into the swing of things again. Back with Andrew. I’m trying to get out of the house with him as often as I can now. Looking around for parks to play in and places for us to explore.

I decided to take him over to the World War I Memorial park and find the little playground. We went there after picking up some lunch for a picnic. Andrew would take a bite of his sandwich run over to the playground, climb up into the treehouse, slide down the twisting, turning slide and then come back for another bite. We stayed there until he was done. He sure can make a sandwich last but he ate the whole thing.

A mom and a little girl showed up and Andrew went right up to her and asked her name and then gave her a big hug. He’s very friendly to other little kids. She was five. He was smitten and followed her all over the place. She climbed up the slides and that was something Andrew wasn’t quite able to do. Continue reading Moment of Discovery →

With the new swimming lesson schedule Eva is now going to lessons right after school gets out. This means that we have an hour to get from school to swimming and have lunches as well. The Y is close to a nice park and Eva and I can have picnic lunches. Today at lunch she leaned over to me and said, “I’m so glad that you are my dad.” My heart just up and melted. We had a nice lunch and then swimming went well after I was able to convince her to get into the pool.

When getting her read for the pool I hooked her shirt on her wiggly front tooth and it became more wiggly. She was all freaked out that her tooth would fall out in the pool. She thought that the pool water would make the tooth fall out. It didn’t make the tooth fall out and neither did ice cream, which for some reason she thinks makes loose teeth get pulled out also. We had the ice cream at Bliss Bros Dairy. The restaurant was completely remodeled and looks great inside. The new decor is excellent. The food remains as good as ever. It was a nice evening with the kids.
