Cherry Blossoms

Under a canopy of blossoms, we spent Tuesday evening wandering the streets of a nearby neighborhood.
Every road lined with cherry trees.

These trees amaze me. This one was literally hollow...

.... and yet, the blooms still burst out of the gnarled bark.

(the stitches are out)

Stitches

Ten years and four months into this parenting thing and we had our first trip to the ER. I can't believe we made it this long. Stitches as a result of a little brotherly squabble over a toy meeting with a table's edge.

I'm a little afraid Sibley Hospital made the whole experience a little too pleasant for Peter and he will be eager to return. Snacks from the nurses and his own personal TV had him reminiscing the following day about "what a nice time we had." Oh, boy.
