Sophia, Avery, and cousin are taking swim lessons at Dolphin Swim Center for two weeks.

My phone rang at about 7:30 – it was Justin. “Mom, come outside. To the windmill. Bring your camera.” I love it when he says that!Woodsquawk on the radio (a virtual/fantasy 3-day music festival featuring live acts from the best bands on the planet presented by The Eagle 96.7 every Memorial Day weekend), Track 7 beer in hand – what more could a working man want at the end of the week?

Here are the many faces of youngest grandson. Getting ready to cry if I don’t pick him up quickly … but wait, sometimes those not-quite-crying sounds turn into a kind of conversation Carson has with himself.A sweet 30-minute nap.Awake and happy.This was my last Wednesday to watch Carson for a couple of hours. Thais goes back to work next week.

While Mom went out on an errand, I happily stayed with Carson and Sophia. At 3 1/2 months, Carson is content (for a while) laying on a play mat and batting hanging objects with his hands and feet.I’m always glad when Sophia is present because she’s so helpful. She can make Carson smile and laugh so easily.

Thais birthday is on the 17th, but we celebrated this evening at Leah (Lenin’s sister) & Jeff’s house.A pillow bridge created by Avery:

A couple of new activities this week.

Here, Avery grabbed the bar and “ran” up the blue mat to flip over the bar (with a little assist from the instructor).

Sophia and cousin Leo kept busy with games on cell phones.

Carson kept his eyes on Leo’s grandpa.
