five pink candles

Life is happening, so I don't have much time to post (which means no pictures or links...picture added 6/25/07), but we did enjoy a phone call and presents** from Grandma and Grandpa D and a visit (complete with gourmet banana birthday cake) from Grandma Q, Aunt Clare and Uncle Joseph. Catherine loves her present from mom and dad: an umbrella stroller for her dolls...and occasionally Stephen. Her special birthday request was to stay up until dusk and catch fireflies. One minute there were none to be seen, and the next our yard was full of them! Catherine, Teresa, and Anthony squealed with delight as they chased and caught a jar full of fireflies, "watch[ed] them glimmer and glow then open[ed] the jar up... and let them all go!" On Beyond Bugs! All About Insects by Tish Rabe.

** (presents were a wooden 3-layer puzzle, two books from The Cat In the Hat Learning Library series, and All About Corduroy by Don Freeman, which contains Corduroy and A Pocket For Corduroy. THANK YOU!)
