Little Lena is officially two months old. To celebrate, we decided to go to the Elmwood Zoo. In this trip we discovered just how long it takes a family of four with 2 under 2 to get anywhere at a reasonable time and how crazy such an event is upon arrival. Lena celebrated by crying the entire day but Emmie had a blast and is still talking about the goats, monkeys (like George) and the sticky icecream.
Our garden is growing and we've harvested beans, tomatoes, squash and herbs. Its a lovely time of year except for the squash beetle. Emmie now sits in a "big girl" chair and it seems important to record that here. It only took a week to acclimate to it and share her other chair with baby Lena. Emmie is cautious about most things and does not like change at all. So this is a big step for our girl, silly as it is. These newborn days are tough, especially with a teething toddler. But it is a gift to parent these girls and we rejoice in them.
