A Little Late


These photos are from March, and it is May 28th today. I had put them somewhere special on my computer and couldn't find them. Lina and Topi at the park on a sunny March day. This is the park right in front of our new apartment, and it is a convenient bribery tool when we need to get Topi out of the house. "Want go to the park?" "If you put on your shoes/jacket/stop throwing things at your sister we'll go to the park!" We can see it from our window and sometimes we watch other kids play and swing. Now the leaves have filled in densely on the trees, though, and we can't see it as well.

Cute, and helpful




The camera comes out again, every time they start acting this cute. We had such a rough month of April what with colds, fevers, tonsillitis, etc etc and somehow in between that all we had a little fun. Ahem, check out my clean kitchen floor, and it's not because Lina picked every little crumb of bread off of it. We actually vacuumed together, Topi and Lina trailing behind like the vacuum cleaner is their pet, taking turns patting it and trying to push it. The mysterious drip on Topi's chin is chocolate, of course, his reward for letting Lina touch the vacuum cleaner once in a while, too.
