Celia's vehicles

It was beautiful in Lexington yesterday, and Celia and I spent the evening outdoors.  Later on, we were reading a Sesame Street book about different methods of transportation:

Me: "Elmo rides his tricycle."  Did you ride a tricycle today?
Celia: Yeah!
Me: "Zoe rides in her wagon."  Did you ride a wagon today?
Celia: Yeah!
Me: "Bert rides in his submarine."  Did you ride in a submarine today?
(pause)
Celia: Not yet.

Nyla's Birthday!

Nyla turned six today. Here she is with her Rapunzel tower cake.

Sky Bridge

We went hiking at the Red River Gorge. These pictures were taken on the Sky Bridge Trail.

Here we are up on top.

Now we see it from below.

Lego Orange Leaf

Wyndee and Nyla made a Lego Orange Leaf today. I thought it was fantastic:

Celia

Some recent cute Celia anecdotes:

• We gave the kids their old health insurance cards to play with as pretend credit cards, since their names appear on the cards.  Celia, who can't read, but can recognize her name, looked at it and said, "This one has my Breheny on it!"
• Wyndee just finished buying school supplies for Nyla going to Kindergarten in the fall.  Celia was jealous, so Wyndee bought her a notebook too.  She's been going around, hugging it, and calling it "my school supplies."
• We found a good local fresh fruit market and have been buying a lot of peaches and plums there (I can never find good peaches or plums at the supermarket).  Celia enjoys taking the peel off and giving herself giant purple lips:
