bubbly joy

Determined to make the most of the sparkling, sunny days this week, we met Daddy at school one evening.  And we brought bubbles.

Most graduate students don't show up at "the oval" at quarter to five on a weekday, excited children in tow, dripping bubbles behind them.  But then, Daddy's not most graduate students.  (And we're sure glad about that!)  We like to think we offered the serious academics a bit of bubbly joy.

 

Madeline loved the big bubble wand, but she was a little perplexed by the whole concept of blowing bubbles.

 

Mama helped out with a bit of a tutorial, and Madeline caught on in no time!


Kathleen, too, loved "dancing" with the bubble wand.

 

  

 We all got a big kick out of watching John David's reaction to the bubbles!

  

He was more than happy to sit on his little blanket and watch the rest of us blow bubbles and run around like happy fools.  (We were surprised that he didn't crawl off the blanket... because he's constant motion, friends.  But we're guessing that he wasn't so sure about all that green grass!)

 

I don't know about the "serious academics," but we were all smiling!

Ahhh it's so good to see green grass as we're still piled under the white stuff. How refreshing to get out! Can't wait for that here. And your little JD is so, so handsome.
