This is what 4:00-7:00 looks like

We ended the night with a little ice cream

Auntie Louise makes sure she doesn't miss a morsel

She's entering the "do it myself" phase

Serious conversation going on

Watching some kids playing on the playset

This might be my favorite photo so far....

In her "big girl" car seat

Daddy's home!...these next 3 are in reverse order

Spoon? Hands? Why argue....just use both!

"Feeding" Sula laundry lint

wheeling around her new grocery carriage

Contemplating life behind bars....

Remember those sunflowers we planted in May????

Helping Mama with laundry. She loves to put the clothespins in the basket

This was my red boot cup, bought at Gerardi's Store for 39 cents between 1970-1974

How can I NOT wait to get home each day???

School is going well, and many times during the day I look ahead to 4:00, the time I arrive home. Beatrice and Anthony are doing really well together, and it is obvious when I come home how happy she has been. This makes leaving in the morning sooooo much easier. Today was a gorgeous fall-ish day and Anthony headed out to teach a drawing class, so Beatrice and I were all alone, as we are a couple afternoons/evening per week now with this new schedule. We had a ridiculously good time together doing simple little jobs, eating dinner together, eating, and playing. I decided it was time to take some photos. Here is a sampling of the hundred or so that I took.
