Misc.

April was a busy month for Ethan and Adelaide.

The month started with Randal letting them up on the roof. My two chicken-hearted children were liberated by the experience. I, on the other hand, was freaked out of my mind. That is why there is no picture. I was too busy praying they'd be safe to take a photo.

Later, while Randal was again on the roof working, Addie popped up to join him having climbed up the ladder all on her own. Although I am proud of her bravery, I think we are mighty lucky nothing terrible happened. Or that we still have custody of our children.

And for my sanity (as well as for my mother's who will read this), the ladder is now safely put away.

The kids are learning to use chopsticks. It's hard to see in the photo but Ethan has a single kernel of corn between his chopsticks. One kernel at a time, that is how he ate it. I lack that kind of patience.

Adelaide's method of using her chopsticks is a little less than conventional, but she is still proud of herself nonetheless.

We attempted kite flying again this year with much better success, so much so Adelaide was able to resist picking the billions of dandelions in the field.

Same dollar store kite quality as last year's.

Better wind.
