A few more photos from our recent trip to the cottage.



I splurged and bought the boys each a decent fishing pole from Fleet Farm. We tried using corn and bread for a day and no bites. The next day I got some worms and BAM. You couldn't leave the hook in the water for 10 seconds without getting a lot of bites. I was pretty funny.

Later, a fish swallowed the hook and I had the end his little life. So we ate him.

Some photos Lewis took.

So today he brought them to Oscar's birthday party and  actually gave them away.      He got ready for bed tonight as usual, not mentioning the scary thing  about to happen--sleeping without a gackoo for the first time e ver. Even  though he didn't mention it we knew it was on his mind. Jessica  had already prepared him and told him she'd help if he had trouble .  So, as promised, she got in bed with him after he couldn't sleep.        "Mama?" he  said eventually, tearing up a little as she snuggled next to him, "I  wis...
