Marc and I had some retail therapy yesterday while Clara and Leo enjoyed some quality time with Papa T and Cathy. We needed the time off and thankfully Dad and Cathy were to the rescue. Clara and Leo had a fine time, in fact Clara had so much fun that she fell asleep on the living room floor after having been out for a walk. Apparently on the walk she was able to point out a very important neighborhood landmark - the ice cream store!

Hanging out at Indigo with Marc was fun, it almost felt like the old days when we'd browse for hours. Marc picked up a book about stock trading and we bought Olivia, Cat in the Hat, Green Eggs and Ham, and Mr Brown Can Moo! Can You? for the kids. Clara's eye positively lit up this morning when I showed her the stack of books but she was most excited to have her own copy of Cat in the Hat that we would not be taking back to the library. I've got to say, it thrills me that she loves books this much.
