So here are two photos of Daniel with his favorite stuffed animals. Lamby Scooter is by far the best-loved, even though he seems to spend most of his days taking a nap.
The photo of Sophie is for Aunty Tara, who sent the tooth-holding pillow for future lost teeth. We knew it was in Sophie's room somewhere!
The photos I wish I had taken: The second-graders at Sophie's school took a trip to the Kewalo Tidepools. They started with a beach clean-up project - you've never seen so many kids so excited by so many discarded cigarette butts - then proceeded to the tide pools, where all sorts of fun creatures were in evidence: soft, leopard-patterned sea slugs with gently undulating frills; assorted crabs, squishy black sea cucumbers, chrysanthemum-like sea anenomes whose numbers are growing after three scarce years; a couple of sharp-toothed, bad-tempered eels; a flat-bodied fire worm whose cilia give a nasty sting.
We'll try to do better in future posts! We're finally all healthy after spending three weeks circulating a sore-throat virus through the family, so hopefully we'll we back to our regularly scheduled blogging soon!
