Longtime readers may remember our epic road trip during this time last year, Days 1 through 13. In reading through last year's entries I notice that, despite our enlightening spiritual progression throughout 2007, our lives in many ways have not changed. We are still playing the Wii fairly often, Dylan is still in size 3 diapers, and we still spend much of our days shoveling food into our pie holes.
We are doing a similar road trip this year, and in the next couple weeks Dylan has been slated to have quality family time with every single family member who lives in or is visiting New York State. Uncle Zach flew into Rochester and spent a couple days with us, where he got to witness the traveling circus that is our lives. Anyone who has ever seen us pack up our car for an overnight trip will be impressed to learn that we managed to fit a whole extra person plus stuff in the car for the trip from Rochester to Ithaca. Dylan is very cautious of men, and despite hours of happily playing with her uncle, every time they were separated even briefly she became deeply suspicious when she saw him again. I think they're buddies now though. I noticed that the teachers were FAR more interested in talking to me when I brought uncle Zach to daycare for a s'more party (attended by: us, the children, the teachers).
We had some crazy rain today, the kind where it looks like a car wash outside and you get soaked if you even think about going out in it. It looks like there is going to be some real flooding since all the snow is melting too.
Annie made us a traditional Moroccan tajine for dinner last night. It was amazing, although less so when I saw the 3/4 empty bottle of oil that went into it. Mmm, tajine. I have yet to decide whether that makes up for her starting every sentence with, "As someone who lives in Africa and helps the children..."
