Children's Museum of Virginia

-
We started off our visit to the Children's Museum of Virginia with a nice faceplant on the cobblestones outside. And lo, there was a great deal of wailing and gnashing of teeth...one of which teeth was chipped in the faceplant. Discovered that yesterday. So now I have a snaggly-toothed baby. Well, thank goodness for baby teeth, right? He may not have a future career as a model, but he can always be a bus driver!



Or a ship's captain...


Or a race car driver...


Or a physicist...(or maybe a politician--full of hot air!)


Or work on the railroad, like Uncle Eli...


Or build railroads...

(Recognize those pants from last year? Yeah, he was wearing them for his 1st birthday--my little shrimp is still wearing 12-18 month pants!).

I wouldn't count out that modeling career just yet. He could still be a hand model :)
Relia has a snaggle front tooth too. No one else ever notices it, but I sure do. (or maybe they are just too polite to comment on my child's hideous teeth)

No one comments on Marshall's missing tooth. I see it every time he opens his mouth. Yes, thankful for baby teeth! Will could still model, they can airbush. Or you could be one of those crazy Moms and get him caps!

Will will loose the baby teeth, but I am stuck with mine. Leah says while inspecting said teeth "Grampa, you have vampire teeth". I have to laugh every time I think of that. See the defective tooth soon, Thursday night I hope.

I sure enjoyed this post. Thanks for the darling photos of William. I will love him no matter what he chooses to do in his future. He's so cute!

Sunday

Moody, cloudy Sunday morning in bed with coffee and a new book.  Wrapped up reading a book that could have been so much better, had the characters had a little more...character.  It was a skimmer, for sure.  As I've gotten older, I have given up the notion that all books were meant to be read start to finish.  I've waded in as much as a couple hundred pages before letting go and putting one down.  There are too many books and too little time to waste on a book that doesn't keep my attention. If the rain holds off, I'm looking forward to hooking up this cleaner spray to my hose and spraying my windows and siding.  I know, I know...life is so exciting, right?!  Have I described where I live, the pipestem?  That is the Virginia vernacular term for a little offshoot lane that branches from the main road, upon which are a few homes--in our neighborhood, probably 4-6 houses on each pipestem.  We have four.  Next to us is Car Hoarder Neighbo...

Cherry Blossom, Part II

-

Tired of cherry blossoms yet?  Oh good, because here are a few more:     These are from just a few hours ago...the cherry blossom or sakura, is truly ephemeral.  The blossoms appear almost overnight and won't last more than a few days, depending on weather.  It's important to get out and appreciate them while you can.  The Japanese actually have a term, hanami, for the "sport" of viewing sakura and there are many, many places in Japan where people flock to see sakura in breathtaking settings.   I'll settle for CFAY, since I'm still single parenting and the Japanese school children are on spring holiday, so the crush would be intense anywhere we would go.  If you saw my last post, you know I had to bribe the kids with ice cream for a two hour trip down to Miurakaigan to view the blossoms a couple of weekends ago.   It's been a busy couple of weeks.  I had a new class start up, just the other half o...

This is 45

-
I think I need to get into it a little more to really FEEL it, but this is 45.  Middle of the road?  Maybe.  Both of my grandmothers made it past 90, so we shall see. All of the most important people in my life wished me a happy birthday today, including the adorable people who made me and brought me into this world.  It is my habit now to thank THEM for my birthday, because let's be honest, if that man didn't love that woman, I wouldn't be here,  right now.  Thanks, guys...totally, 100% serious. The Captain was out of town for my birthday weekend, he got back at supper tonight, unerringly arriving just in time to sit down and eat.  It's really OK.  I started out my weekend on Friday at my favorite shopping joint, then returned home, changed into sweatpants and settled in for some trash TV watching (in this case, the completely stupid "90 Day Fiancee" (don't get into it, it's like watching a car wreck that you could see coming miles away))....
