Lily

Yesterday, Henry had something important he wanted to know.  "Mom, what's Mary?  Not Meri like the kid (Meri visited recently), mary!"  I figured out he meant getting married, so I told him that when you find someone you want to be a family with, you marry them so you can spend the rest of your life together, and that's what Dad and I had done, etc.  Then he said, kind of sheepishly, "Well, I would like to marry Lily."  (the 4 year old next door).  It was so cute and funny!  I didn't laugh (whew!). 

I did explain that it's the kind of thing you decide as an adult, though. I hope he takes my word for that.

I wonder how he'll feel about this post five years from now. :) It's just so sweet when they say these things. Kudos to you for being able to hold the laugh.

My sister's husband, Dean, got the most amazing video of our eclipse. We were so very lucky to have thin clouds for most of the period of totality. Jump ahead to 4:25 to hear the crowd as we head into totality.

Thanks, Emmett.

At the first week of their ski lessons, David dropped Emmett and Luke off at their classes.  Yesterday David was starting his class, though, so I took them to their classes.  There are a lot of classes that meet outside, so there are signs up for each class - the big kids meet by letters and the little kids meet by numbers.  Emmett is in class "I" and Luke is in class 11.  The alphabet signs were clearly visible as we approached, but the numbers were behind some trees so I turned to ask Luke which way we should go around them.  Emmett helpfully called out, "See those signs?  My class meets by the one with a single line on it!"  Um, thanks for describing the letter "I" in a way I can understand, Emmett!
