long weekend

It was a long lazy weekend here in Eugene.

Milo decided to spend memorial day weekend in Sunriver with his best friend Miles' family. It was the longest he had been away from all of us.

I let him pack by himself, and the only shoes he took for a sunny warm weekend were his bogg boots. (This photo sent via text, accompanied by a comment about his fashion sense...)

We missed Milo, but it was nice to spend time with our bookend children. We went for a lot of walks, did a lot of gardening, and watched a lot of movies after Lucy went to bed (Sherlock Holmes, which was almost over-stylized but immensely entertaining; The Invention of Lying, which I cannot recommend because I fell asleep in the first 10 minutes; and Iron Man 2, which Liam and Joel loved and I missed out on due to Lucy's nap schedule...)
I leave you with this picture of our "sprinting monster" as we shall call her for the time being. Lucy has entered a new realm of feisty of late. She is trying out having a mind of her own, which includes sprinting away from us at every opportunity: down the sidewalk, into the street, out of her room during a diaper change...
