Andy at 47 weeks

Taken November 21



We had to go to the library, so I thought I'd try taking Andy's pictures there. It seemed like a good idea at the time. In execution, not so easy.






There are lots of fun things to play with at the library. (And they even have books there, too!)



This alligator (?) was the subject of much contention between Kate and another little boy who was there. Oh, the drama.






Speaking of the library, we have a copy of Days with Frog and Toad that's overdue and I can't find it. Could use some good book-finding thoughts!

Improvising

We've been blessed with good weather for Children's Day every year since Kate was born, so we've been able to do the Korean thing and go out and take pictures in front of the flowers. This year it was not to be. So what do you do on a rainy and windy May 5th, when you really can't go to the park? We decided to take pictures at the library.

I don't think I've ever taken my camera to the library before. They have lots of big windows and nice lighting.



I got Kate to sit with Andy on her lap. They were both a bit uncertain about this.



But very cute!





Dad holds Andy while looking at some books. (I was going to say "checking out some books" but realized that has rather more specific connotations in a library.)



Kate plays with the library toys (and her own rubber Tyrannosaurus, which she had to bring along).



Andy gets a ride in the block wagon.



Children's Day last year was the day I found out I was pregnant with Andy. And here he is! Such a sweet little smiley boy.



I forgot to mention that we have new Korean neighbors! We just met them on Sunday. They have two little girls, ages 7 and 4. I hope we will be friends.

As a parting shot, here's an outtake. Ha!
