I took Griffin down to the Denver Museum of Nature and Science this eve. He got to do the archeological dig for dinosaur bones and make dino footprints. We also spent a bit of time in the Grossology exhibit too. Plus, he identified elephant scat as ... elephant scat. Poop.

We swung by Patty and Drew's for a bit afterwards, and he really got down on the drums. Patty and Drew concurred that he was a natural.

Rowan ran straight across the neighbor's yard face first into some tree wires. She looks like she got beat up my poor baby.

And I pulled another tooth out of Berit's head tonight. :)

Berit had her first basketball game ever today. Never the most aggressive player, Berit made me really proud being out there and running back and forth really trying to cover her girl and even taking a shot once when she had the opportunity. Excellent first showing!

Berit just started basketball at the YMCA. The 3rd grade girls teams have the net at 8 1/2 feet, so that's what I put our portable basketball net at in the alley. We shot a bit the other day. She wanted to work on covering. It was a blast.

Rowan's getting into it vicariously too. Last night when Berit was relating how she and Kiki played Pig and Horse (and "Kiki" and "Berit" and "Douglass"), Rowan said, "If you teach me, I'll play with you." Of course, if Berit jumped off the Brooklyn Bridge, Rowan would follow her.

Griffin, who has always been wonderfully affectionate, now has a formula: 3 kisses, 1 hug.
