When my mom walked Faith back up the street after she spent Sunday afternoon at my parents' house, she was telling us how Faith was learning all the states' capitals from a puzzle of the United States she plays with there. We spent some time quizzing her, naming the state and asking her the capital. When we got to Nebraska, she paused to think for several seconds, then Eric yelled out, "Lincoln!" (He plays with the United States puzzle, too.)
[As an addendum to Friday's post, we woke up Saturday morning to damp pavement and cool weather, with some misty rain still falling out of the sky. It wasn't a hard rain, and it only made it more humid when the sun came out and it heated up again; but it was appreciated.]
