This morning we met Grandpa for breakfast at Cindy's diner. Yes, John is "smiling" in the above photo. Maybe his weird expression is because a plant is growing out of his head.
John got to have a little mint after breakfast and Mary was spying on him, wondering what treat he had that she didn't.
Later in the morning, we had our annual Prima Ladies Meet-Up. Several of us former editors from Prima/Random House get together: today three of the four of us were available, so we met at a playground with our children. Above, the kids were admiring the F--- boys' bug jar.
John still quite dislikes swinging and won't do it, but sometimes he'll swing on his tummy like he is flying.
John repeatedly scampered up and down this tall twisty ladder (including then reaching out and stepping onto the platform), showing a distinct loss of his caution about heights.
Two redheads 
Mary, John, and Emma
Missing from the photo are other mom-friend Rebecca and Janeane's daughter Emma.
After the kids' nap time, I was gripped by the awareness of my fast-ending vacation time, so Grampa Neil and I took them to Baskin-Robbins ice cream parlor for no good reason in the late afternoon right before dinner time. So there!
My boy is graduating to cones instead of cups!

I like the future John, the thinker, with a beard and mustache!
