Cami suggested that we go to an art park one sunny morning. It was a grand idea because the grown ups could enjoy looking at the sculptures, and the kids could enjoy climbing on them. And maybe a couple adults could enjoy climbing on them, too.
Lance and Dani were preparing for a home visit from the adoption agency (they’re totally pregnant… in a hoping-to-adopt kind of way), Karen, Zack, Cami, and I were left to reckon with 6 toddlers and an infant. They totally won. Don’t let these pictures of them being compliant fool you – it only lasted a few seconds.
For example, we stopped to take a couple “sisters” photos, and by the time we looked around a couple seconds later, the little people had dispersed – all in different directions, of course. Just try not be jealous about how photogenic we are. This was actually the third or fourth attempt – it was just too hard for some of us to open our eyes, I guess.
The kids had a blast running from sculpture to sculpture.
Squiggles wanted me to lift her up on top of this totem pole.
I don’t know how this photo came into fruition, but I love it. I think it could be used in a Kotex add campaign.
Lily was pretty content to ride in the Bjorn for most of the visit (as long as she was facing outward):
And then she wasn’t. I thought maybe she wanted some mama love.
But actually, she just wanted her thumb. I’m slightly infatuated with this tiny-yet-chubby human.

That last photo of Lily is heartwarming. I think this looks like the coolest park. I love sculpture and think I could spend a long time here.
The Kotex ad happened when Karen was just hobbling down some stairs (still a little sore from Bunker), and I happened to be standing in the right place to yell at her to turn around so I could snap that glorious scene.
I had fun choosing this particular painting online that now hangs in my downtown office, from Wahooart.com, who sells canvas prints of art masterpieces. While the original is treasured in some art museum in England, my print http://EN.WahooArt.com/A55A04/w.nsf/Opra/BRUE-8LHS4U, of this painting by Edward Burne-Jones is very much appreciated by my staff and clients. The print quality is really excellent.
