A weekend recap - Ave woke up at our house after a successful sleepover (more on that in another post), and after breakfast, she returned home and Stace took Cora to my dad's house to watch Chelsea beat Bayern Munich in the European Champions League Cup Final.
In the evening, we went to the Mom2Mom family picnic, which was a really fun, casual night with good friends. Genia, John and their kids were there, along with Colleen and Rigo, so we had plenty of laughs and conversation.
On Sunday, we spoke to the family, did some gardening and checked out a solar eclipse after the evening church service.
The local astronomy group set up telescopes at Central Park so we novices could safely see the eclipse.
It was really neat; one person projected the image onto the white board so a group could see the eclipse.
The only downside was Cora being disrespectful when I warned her not to look directly at the sun, prematurely ending our park time. We're trying to crack down on the 5-going-on-15 attitude that has been cropping up lately!
But, I won't end on that note.
Here's a knock knock joke Cora created:
Cora: Knock knock.
Me: Who's there?C: Knock.Me: Knock who?C: Don't knock on my door anymore!
The following also made me and Stace laugh Sunday evening on our drive home from the eclipse episode. We were at a light, next to a car with a young guy playing Zeppelin. We rolled the windows down to hear it better, and Stace told the guy, "Turn it up!" He smiled and obliged, but Cora, in the back seat, was mortified. "Dad! STOP!" she yelled, her eyes hidden by her hands.
It's happening already!

About "Dad STOP!" Alison was reading over my shoulder and said "That's starting already? Wow!" Oh, my. Watch out for this one. Elizabeth was my "always in a hurry to grow up" one. But they are the leaders and with great parents like you, Cora will find "the way she should go." I've never seen such passion in a child! God given -- remember that. Love you! Aunt Patty
