Carolina (3 years), Davis (10 months), Hunter (5 years)
On February 2nd, Mike and I drove over to Apex to stay with Hunter, Carolina, and Davis for 5 days while Hannah and Keith went to Mexico on a well-deserved vacation. We had a busy week. In addition to the usual routines of feeding, packing lunches, dressing (which Hunter and Carolina handle mostly by themselves!), transporting Hunter and Carolina to and from preschool, napping, bathing, etc., etc., there was a trip to the nearby park, a bean-germinating activity, a watch for snow (didn't come, but preschool opened 2 hours late), lots of reading (we read Carolina's current favorite about 26 mischievous monkeys no less than 15 times), a nightly pillow skirmish with Grandpa, a birthday party outing, and lots of welcome cuddle time with little Davis. Cuddly Davis is now also an expert crawler who likes to visit the pantry to unpack disposable diapers, make a stop by the pull-out kitchen trash to check for possible amusements, and move on to the cable box and DVD player to look for fun buttons to push. Our three little Prichards are wonderful, active, curious and fun. Yes, they kept us very busy indeed -- Mike called the week Grandparent Camp, an extreme sport for the elder but not at all fainthearted set.
