Sisters
Today is Tea Party in Chestertown, the commemoration of a supposed revolt in the vein of the better-publicized Boston-based incident. What this means for those of us who live here is that the streets are teeming with hordes of funnel cake enthusiasts and that Iggy is banned from the public byways.
There are parades, of course. And we spent our requisite five minutes on the curb partaking of the hubub.
I'm not much for parades. I shrouded my child from seeing such unsightly spectacle as the dancing plush crab.
Robbi has enough enthusiasm for parades to cover the entire family. She is incorrigible.
After the parade had come and gone, we came back inside. The family hijinks that ensued are worth sharing, I think.
First Alden sneaked up on Iggy.
To which Iggy objected, not without cause, I would argue.
It got dicey for a while as they wrestled.
But as the minutes passed...
...they settled into a comfortable equilibrium as Iggy realized that compromise is better to the harassment of a curious baby.
In other news, my sister Lindsay gave birth to my nephew, Orin Alexander Zawicki yesterday late morning. He weighed in at 7 pounds and some ounces. I can't remember now. He has a lot of hair and seems like a jovial little fellow. Photos will be posted as soon as they are sent my way.
Welcome Orin. The world is abundant these days.
