December 15 to 18

Second half of Ocala week

Pete was furious because he had on a long-sleeved shirt but it seemed hot outside so I switched him into a short-sleeved shirt. Clothes are kind of a battleground these days. He pitched a fit, observed by the window washing crew who pretended not to see us. It was fun!

Distracted by a stick

We went to a friend's farm and Pete got to feed some donkeys carrots--he was a natural.

With Vivian and Whitney. I was friends with their mom in high school!

I would like to say that Pete behaved like a gentleman but every time Vivian came too close he pushed her. Also we discovered he's afraid of Nutcrackers (though he got over that particular fear by the time we left Ocala).

This was at some ungodly morning hour. Pete's sleep was not the best.

Ready for the Christmas party!

We went to St. Pete on Saturday to visit the Kornatowski Family--I used to babysit Emma. Here Pete is in a home goods store, checking out the inventory.

Mat sent me this--his workstation while we were gone.

Being dangerous
