Aunt Sandy Came to Visit

In the middle of November, Sandy flew out from San Diego to spend a few days. She had time off from work still, because of some recent surgery on her hand, and had some studying to do - so it was just a "hang-out" weekend, instead of a lot of sight-seeing. The kids loved it, though, because they got to spend lots of time with her.

I'm still taller!

McKenna is pretty much the same height as Sandy now! Next time we see her, McKenna will probably be ahead, with the way she's been growing.

Ivy poses for the camera (as usual). We did take Cooper and Ivy and toured Harvard and met Richard for lunch. We didn't spend much time,, because we had to hurry back to pick up Maia from school.

Cooper discovers what the railing is really for on the front of the church/memorial building in Harvard Yard. I tried downloading a movie clip of his sliding down it, but it doesn't seem to have worked.

Sandy and Cooper on the bus ride into Harvard. You can see his recent get-rid-of-the-spider shave. He was bummed his dad wouldn't let him keep the spider to show his friends at church.

Aunt Sandy was a favorite for reading stories!

And playing Monopoly!

Ivy likes to play Monopoly too - she just sorts and stacks the money by color, and demands more if she doesn't have enough in a certain pile. She also always HAS to be the horse figure. She does like to shake the dice too.
