Then Calder had his fourth birthday. He made the cupcakes for the family party.
A few days later he had a Spiderman themed party for all of his friends in his own backyard.
All 6 of us went to the UCLA - YALE Basketball game. We were known as an interfaith family, since almost all of us were wearing gear from both teams. Calder decided that the girls could root for the "bulldog team" and the boys would root for the "bruins." He was really upset when Alec said he would be rooting for both. Calder wore UCLA and Branwen wore YALE.
We were really blessed this Thanksgiving. My sister Susan and her 2 boys (Ford - 12 and Luke - 3) came to visit. It gave the cousins a chance to really know each other.
The little boys went to Legoland while Ford went to the UCLA Football game with Chuck, Alec & Branwen.
We went to the Noah's ark exhibit at the Skirball Center. The boys are listening to a Flood story from Africa and Branwen is exploring a music activity.
I am using this post to experiment with the slide show and movie features.
