We had a nice long weekend in Long Island - Saturday to Monday. We did spend Saturday and Sunday stuck inside the house because of the heat wave. We left at 8am and Bear's shirt already got sweaty just on the two minute walk to the car. It came as a relief to Bear to be able to take Tanya to the playground on Monday morning. I was making soup and I didn't feel particularly well - most likely a small blood pressure jump - so I was happy to sit home and read, while checking on the soup. Plus, she was all "Papa, papa" practically the whole day and was telling me to "go away, Mama" - at least until nap time and then around 7pm. Tanya and I are now at my parents and she won't see Bear until Saturday, so it's good she got a lot of time in with him.

I did finish my cross-stitch. Instead of Mom and Dad owls and baby owl, the owls will represent Marianna's three kids, with their name and date of birth stitched above each owl. Once the baby is born in October, I would be able to finalize it. I already did the names of the older kids once I took the picture.

A link to share:

Self-Knowledge Questionnaire that has been floating around Tumblr. I got "Rationality, Sensitivity and Orderliness", which seems right. Bear got "Rationality, Shyness and Aggression", which also seems to fit.
