Aunt Monica

Aunt Monica called last night and said she just wanted to spend some quality time with the kids. We sat upstairs while Charles entertained us by running around as fast as he could and plummeting to the ground every 5 seconds and laughing. John, Monica and I placed ourselves in close proximity of all walls and bed posts since he was quite confident that one of us was protecting him. Oh that child-like trust! Then we walked down by the lake and fed the ducks. These ducks like bread a whole lot more than the Pendleton King ducks did. They were quacking and flocking towards us from all sides. Charles thought this was great as he tried to leap in the water with the "Duuu! Duuu!" After he realized that we were not going to let him swim with the ducks in the murky water, he joined in on the throwing of the bread:Charlie-Style. He would wind up, chuck the bread, and then look around. The pieces kept flying over his head and landing behind him. We walked back in time to put the kids to bed. Then Aunt Monica hung out with John and I playing guitar and piano and chatting too late into the night. Man, I had totally forgotten about being just out of high school and staying up until midnight. I love going to be at 10 o'clock, but loved spending time with Monica more. Thanks for hanging out Monica! We love you!
