Jason loved the attention he got on his birthday. Thanks everyone for the cards, gifts, notes and calls. Here’s a card Oliver made for him.

Here’s a card he opened from Nabby.

Phoebe played the piano with Dad one Saturday.

Jason liked it as much as she did.

Phoebe’s grown very fond of her baths lately. She loves to arch her back and slide herself low enough to slurp up the bath water. I spend the whole bath setting her back up in her seat over and over. I guess it’s fun for her to get a drink by herself without waiting for us.

Lots of leaves to rack and jump in.

Oliver is still coughing, but it’s getting better.

Phoebe eats lots of leaves.

Abby takes her baby for rides in her bike.

And delivers leaves to Oliver for whatever he’s working on.

What IS that? See the volleyballs (or soft balls) on the grass under that tree over there?

I thought they were the neighbor kid’s balls till I realized they might be ostrich eggs. Finally upon closer look I could tell they were mushrooms.

They are so weird. I thought they would open like button mushrooms, but instead they just split in the middle. I don’t see any gills or spores… or aliens…yet.
