BOTH FEET ON THE GROUND

You're gonna have to settle for another picture or two...

All on their own, the kids started having small book parties in the mornings.
They typically are ready for school 20-30 minutes before they have to leave, so they raid our bookshelves looking for interesting things. In this picture (happens to have been taken the first day of school), Boris and Hella are reading Edward Gorey's "Gashlycrumb Tinies", while Spike looks through the "Book of Bunny Suicides". Royal is just snogging his Stinker-eater...as usual...


This is one of those unplanned, offhand shots that turns out really well. We were at Gravelly Point (a park right next to Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport) early one morning, watching the planes take off. The sky was crisp, the air was sharp, Boris was being beautiful...
