Lunch with Mary!

I've never spent a lunchtime with a 5-year old girl in love with dinosaurs... until today.  It is WAY more fun than eating alone!!  And we both love the ankylosaurus.  :).


We had loads of fun playing with my cell phone camera and (later) my actual camera. She's quite good, too.

This is the picture I took...


This is the picture Mary took.


Kids are sponges! We had so much fun a passerby offered to take a few pictures of the three of us. So sweet. :)

We ate at Jaho, the cafe on Derby Street.  The tickle monster joined us too.
 

    Bob got in the action too. 


See you Sunday, Mary!

  1. Mary is a darling... and quite a good photographer, I might add. She's gonna give Auntie Jen quite a run for her money. I'm a little lost.. is this the friend with daughter you've mentioned... or have you gone ahead with the Big Sister thing you considered?

  2. Yep, this is my former coworker Bob and his adopted daughter, Mary. Bob lives in Salem but works in South Carolina (sound familiar?), and comes home every other weekend.

    I never did the big sister thing... they wanted every weekend for 3 months, and with summer coming I felt a little trapped... if i could have done after school that would've been better, but that's tricky with a school kid.

  3. OK, glad to have that confirmed. I thought if you'd become a Big Sister, we'd have heard. And yes, Bob's situation sounds very familiar. He must hate being away from Mary most of the week.
