a lesson in elasticity

we were at the park (d, h, c and aunt lolly) when we found some water balloons near the water fountain. you'll notice that the previous sentence includes two instances where "water" behaves as a noun modifier rather than a noun itself. two instances in rapid succession nonetheless. plopped conveniently near each other so no could miss the connection. UNLESS you have never seen a water balloon in action. thankfully, clemmie is no longer a member of that population.



this is encourageable littering, my friends. you should make a point to drop a dozen water balloons at your nearest park's fountain. 35 yr old men are happy to find them.

(not captured: dada accidentally detonating one on clem's tum tum.)

random video

taken shortly after the dizzy spell, this one is really just to laugh with clem as she trots off into the distance.

clem's not quite tall enough to reach the main stream, but she can catch a diverted burst.

weekend update

great aunt lolly paid a visit this weekend, and while she's no where to be seen in these pics, i wanted to satisfy a bit of clem craving quickly. trying to process some videos while i try to do everything else i'm supposed to be doing, but they're coming. and heids has lots of photos to post. bear with us, grasshoppers.

in any case, here's a few shots from outside the brooklyn library. while books are cool, right now the water is top ticket. 

a visit from uncle B

the B spent some quality time on the couch in his visit. clem worked to shove him off.

clem felt that she should hop right down on the floor with kier in order to best reacquaint herself.

refresher course in diapering a standing toddler. 

there's a reason parents are habitually late.

heids got clem some sidewalk chalk. 

clem thought its best use was as container filler.

no drawing for diddy.

beach day!

lynn is awesome, and she chauffeured clem and me to jacob riis today. it too was awesome, so i tried to hit clem with heavy buckets. note her excellent fly shagging stance.
