Crazy hair, clams, Nanny & Pop Pop, "graduation"

Last week, we did Madeline's hair in interesting ways.  Interesting for me is a pony tail.


Interesting for Summer is four pony tails!



Last Thursday, Summer and I took off the afternoon and took a clamming class!  (Credit for the photo goes to Rhode Island Sea Grant.)


We brought back about 40 clams.  Madeline was impressed.



And she did her part to take care of them.


On Friday, Nanny and Pop Pop came to visit!


Nanny brought up Sleepy Kitten, a book that was once read to her, that she used to read to me, and that Madeline very much enjoyed as well.


The two of them enjoyed reading other books as well.


We took a brief jaunt out to the library ...


... and then returned to spend the afternoon in the yard.




Nanny and Pop Pop brought steaks for me to grill!  Oliver enjoyed his t-bone.


Then in the morning, we went out for a fathers day brunch at Olga's.


And after brunch, we visited the Gordon School.


Nanny and Pop Pop had to take off from there but we stuck around for a bit to explore the grounds.



These days, Oliver really enjoys clapping -- whether with his hands or puzzle pieces or other random objects.


And on Tuesday, Oliver turned ten months old!



He's getting very big.


We feel it's important to note that even though he's happy most of the time ...


... occasionally he's not.


Meanwhile, Madeline is looking downright grown-up these days.


In fact, today was her preschool "graduation."  She got dressed up ...


... and contemplated this momentous occasion.


At a lovely ceremony that included some musical numbers from Madeline and her classmates, she received her "diploma" ...


... and a frozen yogurt tube.


It's been quite a wild last couple weeks.
