We love days when we get together with Ben and Kate and their kids. Time always seems to zip by, and even though it seems like we just sat down for breakfast, it’s actually way past nap time. Neko and Irene orbit around each other for a while, but I’m always excited to see them actually playing together by the end. Shep and Ezra toddle around and make us giggle.
On an unusually cool day, Tom caught a butterfly. We suspect the weather slowed it down, because it spent a good hour sitting on Neko’s hand, much to her delight. Unfortunately, it almost became Otto’s snack several times, but Tom managed to free it each time. When we finally left the butterfly, it wasn’t in the best shape (Neko was gentle, Otto was not). But I like to think that it rallied and is halfway to Mexico by now.
By afternoon, we all tucked in for a cozy fall nap.
