curious george was a big hit, as expected. adella and i both loved it. i see a dvd purchase in the near future. here's adella, all decked out in her george shirt, ready to go: this morning we went to the nature center with my friend julia, from work. she just had her THIRD baby a few weeks ago! her son, isiaih (i know i'm not spelling that right) is a few weeks younger than adella. it was lots o' fun, of course. here's the two of them driving the tractor - adella's working the pedals and he is steering... oh, and another unattentive mommy moment. i was checking email (again) this morning and when i came upstairs (just a few mintues later, don't worry), adella had put her shoes on and grabbed her purse full of hot wheels and headed out to play. for a few minutes i tried to convince her to come inside. when that didn't work, i grabbed my jacket and a fresh cup of coffee and spent an hour enjoying the brisk morning air - just me and adella, racing hot wheels down the slide.
