Miriam talks all the time. She is either telling a story, narrating her imaginary play, or singing songs. In this picture, she's in the middle of a very elaborate story...depsite the fact that I could only hear her when the swing came back my way.

Jonah is getting very adept at putting things together for us. Isn't he handsome?

Caroline was so excited by her new journal she bought at the book fair...for exactly 24 hours. Now it's fallen out of favor and been banished to her junk drawer. But look at that happy face! She was very pleased.

Speaking of pleased, she's taken to mothering the baby chickens we brought home last week. Of the whole family, she is the one most often found leaning over their brooder and speaking to them. Jonah still wishes we had only 6 chickens so they would be more like pets and less like livestock, but even he couldn't resist the appeal of the soft, fuzzy babies.

And soccer season is back in full swing. Here Caroline is chatting with a classmate (yes, I'm wiggling my eyebrows as I say that) after practice:

And Miriam showing off her teal uniform and fancy new cleats. I feel like we live at the park sometimes, especially since our piano teacher lives right down the street, but it's also helping pass the time while we wait for more consistently good weather.
