Swingin’!

Still just after quarantine, we went to the park again with Dovey, Kendra, and Lariella, and Debabu and Zufan took turns on the swings. Zufan took to them right away, but Debabu wasn’t sure. We tried him on the swings last time we were at the park with Auntie Bonnie, and he didn’t like them. But Zufan was having too much fun, so he gave them another try.

First Corndog

Rebecca’s tired of begin cooped-up after several weeks in semi-quaratine (because of a possible exposure to mumps when we were in Ethiopia), and I have Rodeo off, so we spent the day running around town. Debabu got to enjoy his first corndog today, and he got to wear that cool-ass hat.

After a couple weeks home, several battles of will, and plenty of fits and tears, we’ve started to develop a rhythm and sink into routines. And Debabu now has a favorite hat.

First Visit to the Park

We went to the park today to feed the ducks and visit with Auntie Bonnie, my patchouli-enjoying, hippie sister. Only a couple of pictures of Debabu and Zufan’s first time at the park, none of the ducks, but I’ll keep practicing shooting. I’ll practice paying better attention.
