Walk (with Pax) to the post office and the Sweet Spot this morning, taking our coffee and bagels to the shade of the old train station's huge eves—to enjoy the fine weather but out of the sun.

Then to Victoria Lane for an afternoon with Ellie, Maddie, and Becca.

Here, one of the many games of "tadpole," a newly developed form of fun. Dinner with Bri, then storybook time, while he put Becca down for the night.
