Dress up, and up, and up...

Zara started camp at CBI this past week. In some ways it is like school - same building (though different classroom and teachers/counselors), same friends (though some new ones, too, and some old ones aren't at camp this summer) and same yummy challah baking goodness on Fridays. I hear music's an every day thing now, which Zara loves. Many of the songs they sing at camp can be heard around our house in the afternoons - a favorite activity these days is singing and reading to Coda. I digress, however, as my main point was the best thing about school and camp and everywhere in the whole world (according to Zara) is... dress up clothes. And shoes. And other accessories. What do ya'll think she'll find to wear in Scotland?

Six Months in the Purple Chair!

Six months ago, Zara & Claire were naughty. So we put them in this chair. And they've been there ever since.

Hoarder

Here's Zara outside at the Center of Science and Industry, Columbus, Ohio. She's missing the point of the game, which definitively does not involve collecting and hiding as many balls as possible.

Beaten Cream

Sharing the unbeatable whisk!

Ouch!

Char took this today. The Downtown Mall rash is what happens when Zara's having too much fun trying to keep up with 7 year old Miss Anna.

Laptops

Coda wants to know where his is.

Catch!

Zara learns to throw. And take direction.

Class

The nice thing about Zara's school is the convenient storage system.

Hope, Treva (and Neil, not pictured)

The Normans came to town, Neil to defend his dissertation (successfully). Dr. Neil is actually standing next to me, not sure why he's not in the shot. It was lovely to see them, and we'll get a chance to swing by Columbus, OH, which they'll be moving away from right around the time Norman #4 is due.

Lub-dub

Zara listening to Esme's heartbeat. Guthrie Cards Can Help Predict Bad Metabolism!
