First Solo Flight

The grandparents have all flown the coop and Kate returned to work today. So forget Amelia Earhart or Steve Fossett - the true test for a solo flight is whether you can get three kids to go down for simultaneous naps. And the fact that I'm blogging tells you that I'm basking in the glow of success right now. Not to mention that while the twins were at nursery school, I managed trips to the coffeeshop, grocery store, hardware store and photo development place (to develop the disposable cameras that we sent to the orphanage about a month before we travelled there). So, I'm feeling quite virtuous. It's all almost enough to overcome the sense of bewilderment I'm feeling at the Patriots collapse in last night's game (if Belichick can choke in the last 2 minutes of a football game, what other eternal truths can be called into question?).

Here are some of my mom's photos:
- Molly and grandpapa in their Chinese sweatshirts

- Zoë ready to eat

- opening cards and presents

- Molly and Zoë enjoying the panda puppet

- Zoë and her mama

- Scott and Julia's party for Zoë started at 10:30am - grandpapa teaches the twins a valuable lesson that it's never too early for that first beer

- Zoë watching Sarah at her first party

- sporting her new boots

- reading Peter Rabbit. No such thing as quiet reading time with these three

- Big smile

Congratulations! Very impressive. And looks like it was a lovely party for the little cutie with her little caterpillar!

Don't know much about Behilichik, but Federer lost in the finals at the Swiss Indoors ATP, in his hometown. Ouch. (Saw the quarter finals live...)

Serge adds - and the Swiss won the world junior soccer championships - against Nigeria, in Nigeria. 60 000 spectators.

Wonders never cease.
