Graveyard Fields

Memorial Day we took the Girl and the babcia for a hike at Graveyard Fields. A short, easy hike: probably less than 4.5 miles all told.

Along the way, new flora continually caught J’s eye. “What’s this?” and “What’s that?” and “Is this X? It must be!”

“Nie wiem” became the phrase of the day, renewing (for about the 100th time, at least) my desire/resolve to learn more about plants.

L “met” a young lady named N who, despite being two months younger, was significantly smaller.

L, meet E...

And of course we took lots of pictures of the Girl.

Young Earth

The Creation Museum recently opened in Kentucky.

DefCon provided an informative guide about the errors of young earth creationism. Entitled “Top 10 Reasons Why the Universe, the Sun, the Earth, and Life Are Not 6,000 Years Old,” it’s available at the DefCon web site.

Within Grasp

The girl has begun reaching for things. For anything. If it’s in her field of vision, she’ll put out her little hands and try to grab it.

The other day, she grabbed a glass of water while we were eating dinner and turned it over on K. First time, certainly not the last.

And so, for the first time, I proposed making pre-planned video. “Just go around the apartment and hold her in front of things,” I asked K.
