the family circus

Tuesday afternoon, we took Elizabeth to her first circus. Not quite Cirque du Soleil, but it was a good sized one for a toddler. Plenty of camels, elephants, ponies, and clowns.

Of course, if we'd known she was coming down with something, we might not have taken her.

And here's our first decent family portrait in months and months:



This afternoon, we reclaimed a corner of our yard from Silver (she likes to dig up the grass) and planted some tomato plants we had grown from seedlings a month or so ago. It was long past due for the poor plants, as they'd grown into knots in their little pot. Elizabeth helped out with the digging and soil-mixing, of course. She's a good soil mixer.



And, just because it's cute, a picture from last Saturday when we went to the Greenwell State Park (note the fact she's in the river fully clothed):
