First thing Saturday morning we attempted a "photo shoot" of the Meldau cousins all together. This is the only picture we got of all three together. Notice how both my kids are freaking out. Eliza is doing awesome. My mom says it's pay back. I always HATED having my picture taken and as a kid I didn't hesitate to let people know it.
More pay back.
But we still got a few good ones. I love this picture.
And this one.
Later we took a few more pictures at the park. I think maybe I should have brushed Reuben's hair. Oh well. It's true to life.
Happy Eliza

After suffering through all the Miriam festivities, Reuben got a big payoff. Tonight we took our evening walk and someone set out a whole load of plastic dinosaur toys on the side of the road for free. Probably because they were sick of the mess they were making in their house. They will now be making a mess in our house. I've already tripped over dinos left on the floor about a dozen times. Sigh.
Reuben was overjoyed. He was bitten by the dino bug about two weeks ago and now chatters away about "brachiosaur" "T-rex" "Stegosaur" "Ankylosaur" and my personal favorite the "Ice cream dino" also known as Pachycephalosaurus. (Who makes up these names??? Not a parent.)

Great pictures! i love being able to see some of the fun you are having together.
Oh man, score with the dinosaurs! Glad that you could have a good family weekend.
It sounds like time to introduce Reuben to They Might be Giants song - I am a Paleontologist. They manage to work pachycephalasaurus into the song - I kid you not.
wow, what a weekend. glad to hear you're raising m in the ways of the gospel...and that r likes dinos!
awesome stuff! Miss you...!
I am really sad that our picture outing failed. It was a pretty setting, though. I miss you and your family very much.
You have the best curb shopping neighborhood I have ever heard of. The "ice cream dino" looks like he has a scoop of blueberry ice cream on top of his head.
