We had dinner together today, although there was a moment when Elliott wasn't sure he could make it. If you perhaps saw on the news about an explosion in a hotel in Fort Worth today, Elliott manages the restaurant chain that had a restaurant in the basement. Two of their employees were injured. The total injuries was 20, but so far no fatalities. It appears to be caused by a gas leak (not official word yet), but the hotel and restaurant will be out of business for an extensive time. The two lower floors were destroyed. Elliott was not on site, but it will be his responsibility to figure out a lot of what happens next.
On Mondays, Charlie and JoJo babysit Cullen. It's been an awful long time since I spent a whole day with a two-year-old. Wow! But we all survived.
We took a stroller walk in the morning and went past the neighborhood eagle nest. This is literally a Dallas neighborhood, but the eagle doesn't seem to be bothered by all the people living on the ground floor. The nest is actually visible from JoJo's house although this picture is taken closer to the nest.
Many different ornamental plants in the south. I believe this is an artichoke. I saw several as lawn plantings.
This is the sunset from their backyard. They have a corner lot where the ground slopes off to the west, so there is an open view without obstructing houses.
This picture is just for fun. Sport has this pet duck. He thinks this is the best toy.
It rained, so except for a short morning walk, and a fast stroller walk where Charlie took Cullen to watch the trash truck, we were playing inside all day. You know it was mostly about the toddler, which is fine, but we think tomorrow will include some other adult activities.
JoJo put together a meal of lasagne, salad, garlic bread, and cappucino ice cream cake. We did not go hungry!

Nice family photo. I imagine a day with a 2 year old is quite exhausting. That sunset is spectacular.
Lulu: "We heard about that explosion! Scary stuff!"
Charlee: "But not as scary as having a bald eagle looking at you!"
Oona: "Pffft, it is a bird! OONA IS NOT AFRAID OF A BIRD!!!"
Charlee: "You should be."
Ann- you wouldn't catch me doing a day with a 2yo alone!
Oona- that bird is bigger than Cullen! You should watch out. Yes, another friend of Elliott's said they felt the explosion 2 miles away. Amazing that no one was killed. I guess the lobby collapsed into the basement.
