Fletcher's on the Web
Take a look at Fletcher on the Scandinavian Child website. My friend, the very talented photographer, Danielle Anthony took the photo at Carrigan Farms back in October.

Sand Pancakes
Today Fletcher and I headed over to the Sandlot after school. It was such a beautiful day and we enjoyed digging, racing, and pretending to make pancakes by milling grain into flour, gathering eggs, milking a cow, churning milk into butter, mixing it up, and cooking it in a pan. Ever read Pancakes, Pancakes by Eric Carle? I think this book might have influenced our play today! Tried out the Vivid Colors setting on my camera today. Not sure if I like it or not.

Lazy 5 Ranch
After spending Tuesday on the sofa with a migraine, Fletcher and I enjoyed getting out and about on Wednesday. We met our friends Danielle, Evelyn and Nicholas at the Lazy 5 Ranch where we saw many animals, the kids played, and shared lots of laughs. Afterwards we went for pizza where the adults got to do some catching up while the kids played with video games. There aren't very many days in one's life when you can say you touched a zebra and fed a giraffe! We love the Lazy 5!

Kite Flying
On Sunday, Fletcher, Aaron, and I went to Cub Creek Park to fly kites, run, and play. We had a great time with only one kite mishap (into a tree) and Fletcher burnt off some energy and took at long nap on the way back to Huntersville. We really enjoyed spending the weekend with Mom and Aaron and look forward to their visit to us this weekend.

One of Those Days
Ever have one of those days when you feel like you should have just stayed in bed for the good of everyone around you? Well in spite of good intentions I just couldn't get it together today. I mean all the events of the day went fine, but I couldn't get word to paper (or screen, as the case may be), etc. the way I intended.
The good thing about kids, though, is that they rarely notice so here are some pictures that I took while Fletcher and I were having fun and playing outside at home and at the playground, where we met Sophie and Julia.
I'll try not to include any of you next time I'm a train wreck waiting to happen!
Danielle's Headed to Town!
You all know how much I love photos so I wanted to share with you all that my dear friend and very talented photographer, Danielle Anthony, will be in the Charlotte area in the coming months. She is great with kids and her specialty is capturing kids being kids, with wonderful results. Her work has appeared in Baby and Child and she has taken some of my favorite photographs of Fletcher. She works in color and black and white and takes great outdoor shots or she can set up her studio in your home. Take a look at her blog and website. She's super friendly and would love to hear from you!

Teacher for a Day (or at least a couple of hours)
This week is Teacher Appreciation Week at Fletcher's school. Debbie G. and I had the privilege to be classroom teachers for a couple of hours while the teachers were treated to a catered lunch. We had a great time. I can't speak for Debbie but our experience made me appreciate Mrs. Sonja and Mrs. Kajsa even more!
