The kids and I had a busy weekend while Chris continued his long hours of field work.

• Friday: Finn and Nana - Natural History Museum Friday 
• Saturday: Living Traditions Festival w/Nana Saturday - Mongolian dance performances and mufti-cultural food samplings
• Sunday: A morning in the backyard/garden and Living Traditions Festival in the afternoon - Japanese drums, Native American dance and even more new food flavors savored. Grand Finale - Solar Eclipse viewed from start to finish from our front yard.



Finn prepared to view the solar eclipse



Not quite the full ring of fire view from out our front door but still "cool". 

• Tuesday, Wednesday - Home with a sick Finn 

Although I am falling terribly behind by not being at work it is really nice to have a few quiet days at home with the kids.  I just wish it was under healthier circumstances.

Hugs for a sick Finn

Making her sick brother laugh

 Rounding the bend:
One week left of pre-school and only three more weeks of being four ("and three-quarters").  Finn spends most of his time at home outside whether it is racing up and down the sidewalk on his bike or pretending to play "ship" in the backyard with neighbors.

            

Nola continues to scoot at high speeds and is now pulling up on everything vertical.  She loves to play outside.  Water provides endless entertainment.
