Grandma and Grandpa R visit

Last week, Avonlea Jane was convinced, "It gonna be rainin' soon!" When it didn't start raining in the next few minutes, she wasn't very pleased. We decided to use our dry time to go over some nursery rhymes. As of right now, she knows "Wee Willie Winkie," "Hey Diddle Diddle," and most of "Peter Peter Pumpkin Eater," and "Humpty Dumpty."

Here she is doing "Hey Diddle Diddle," but she's a little shy about doing it all by herself.

Grandma and Grandpa R got into town on Saturday to visit for a few days before their trip to Croatia. On Sunday, we all went to the Peabody-Essex Museum to see some traditional folk dancers as a part of their Sensational India weekend.

Helping Daddy plan his strategy

Grandma made Avonlea Jane some Oobleck and then taught her the term "non-Newtonian fluid."



On their last day in Massachusetts, we took Grandma and Grandpa to Appleton Farms.
