May 2021

We went to a wedding! This was when Covid seemed like it was going to become a thing of the past. Spoiler alert--it did not become a thing of the past!

That's Hankie's nigh-nigh. He has a handful of them, but he'll only wear two. When I weaned him, Mat took over his bedtime routine. At the time Mat took over his bedtime routine, in late November 2020, Hankie was wearing all manner of sleep sacks. But he became very particular once Mat got involved.

Donna helping me hang pictures--my friend David drew those

Our power was out one morning so we went to an Auburn breakfast institution, the name of which is eluding me.

Strawberry picking with JJ and Paul

First tooth--lost! It was loose for a long time, and finally Pete agreed to let me pull it while we were getting our hair cut. I didn't want to lose my chance so we did it right there.

The long-awaited trophy

The Woods came to visit on their way to the beach! I believe Uncle Matt is showing Pete a video of a snake eating an alligator.

At Zazu's, where we went to lunch

Hankie's birthday! I got him a bunch of bath toys. After all the presents were opened, Mat told me the boys wouldn't need any more bath toys for a long time.

Mat and his giant jar of kimchi, which he found middling. He finds most kimchi middling.

We found an eyed-click beetle in Edye and Tom's yard. We were able to witness it "click" as it turned over and play dead, it's only defense mechanism besides scuttling away.
