Summertime Spud

We went to Amelie's French Bakery for 4th of July breakfast. I happily drive the 20 minutes it takes to get to NoDa for one of their chocolate croissants. When Spud wasn't pilfering bits of my croissant, he was practicing his walking and running into things and falling down in a heap.



He enjoyed his very first summertime watermelon. There really is no better way to eat watermelon than to just dig in and get your face all up in there and just try your best to breathe.



And he enjoyed his very first 4th of July sparklers (held by me in the foreground). Unfortunately his bedtime is hours before dark settles in, so we had to light them in daylight. Not quite as impressive, but I think he got the idea.

  1. Ooooo. Spaaaaaarlkers! Grandpa Chadwick has just returned from a trip to Northern Virginia (work) and found it is still hot (100 degrees) humid (99.9%), gridlocked with traffic - especially in places where I had to drive and mean-spirited (got flipped off by no fewer than three 20-something women in BMWs for failure to exceed the speed limit by at leat 20 mph. Was very happy to get back to Blacksburg, which has NONE of these afflictions. Next weekend I hope to go to Charlotte to (a) see Spud and (b) help his Dad with a deck.
