a swim at kim's

...hmmm... Maybe Oxford will take her instead?

Under Kim's tutelage, Schuyler has learned the finer points of hosting a tea party: Every cup must be accompanied by a saucer and a spoon; don't make a noise when you stir in your milk and sugar; don't begin until the host does; etc. Once, Wardy Baby and I started to leave the table at the end of the tea session and Schuyler admonished with a sing-song "I didn't hear a 'thank you'"

"Ahhh, Irish coffee!"

"Hello? Hello? Can you hear me now? Hello?"

We're writing this now that Kim and Wardy Baby are Down Under once again and the emptiness of the winter months begins again. We love having them here. The kids love having them here. It's just a good time hanging out with them. We miss you guys. Seeing these photos reminds me of what's missing in our lives right now.
