Land of Lincoln Part 1

We didn't want to stay put in hot NC for too long, so we packed up and Joaded our way out west to Worden for a few days with the Curtis. It was hot there. But I think it is hotter here. The kids were all pals right off the bat. We got along fine with their parents too.

Evangeline had to hold back for a while, preferring a cool attitude, while Irene showed off her bed toys to Linus and Eve.

They pretty much play with the same things we do. Wooden spoons. Magnetic letters. Pans.

Evangelinus were in full effect. They really loved picking apples and discarding them after a single bite.

Yeah, you only have to take one bite, then you can leave it where ever you want.

Dude, seriously, you just take ONE bite and then throw it.

Irene is a good porch monkey. Poor kid can't run around and throw the parachute guys.

Mary wins the prize for best baby kid.

Evangeline picked up the climbing habits of the Curtis children. They jumped off of this thing, but she never worked up the guts. Maybe next year.

We made jiaozi for my second anniversary of ordination.

Evangeline is really into taking pictures lately. I thought this one was pretty cool. This  is Eve's zimbelstern. Evangeline had taken a few pictures of it not moving, and then spun it and took a few of it spinning. We are wondering if it is too soon to give her a camera.

Evangeline tried to import thug life into Worden.

True love?
