A day with Christa and her "kiddos"

We had a super busy day with the kids. I'm sure

they slept well after that! I don't think we stopped all

day! After we picked up Jacob from the bus we went

for a walk up the street.

Everyone is walking on the curb and trying to stay

balanced...Even Maria is copying them from her

wagon.

Can you see how beautiful it is? Its pretty hard

to get a picture that would do it justice. Their house

is surrounded by forest (well, actually the whole town

of Sandy Hook is surrounded by forest)

What a pretty duck

Maria got pretty attached to Breeann and wanted to

show her the pretty little waterfall.

The kids call these ducks "Senia's ducks" because

their last nanny before Christa really doesn't like

animals but she showed Christa where this little park

is. We took Maria to feed the ducks.

Christa also takes Maria to her Tumble Jungle on

Fridays, so we watched her play.

We went to Jacob's Catholic Mass to listen to his

program. He had a reading and did a great job.

Breeann and I went to visit Christa in Connecticut for a few

days. Friday, she had to work so we hung out with her

doing some of the things she normally does with the kids.

She takes Alex to the bus stop (about a 15-20 min drive and

listens to him read while they wait for the bus).

Then we went to a park that was really fun. This

is Mr. McGregor's garden (you know from the story

Peter Rabbit?) Its a real garden!

Maria is inside of the little Rabbit house. She played

with the pretend vegetables and swept the floor.

Going into the little house...

At the park there are statues all around. This is

Maria's favorite part. She says this person holding

the dog's leashes is her nanny and each of these dogs

are named after someone in her family.
