Last weekend we decided to explore new areas in Richmond. We'd read in the paper about pumphouse park and thought it would be interesting to see it. While it looks like a church, it actually was a pumphouse for water built in 1882. It was later abondoned, but there are efforts to restore the building.
There are trails near the pumphouse, so we brought the dog and took a walk. It is a nice area and right in the city. We were glad to find a new place to enjoy the river in Richmond. I think we'll try some other areas in the coming months.
Sarah is getting ready to transition to the two year old class next week. We're hoping she likes it. She has trouble when teachers change, but she knows a few in the next class, so it may not be as bad. She continues to build her vocabulary. It is nice to almost have a conversation with her and be able to understand what she says. She likes to say "that's silly" at anything we do. Her favorite book at the moment is Where the Wild Things Are and she loves to chase or be chased around the house in the evenings. Her favorite food right now is seaweed and rice-yes, those sushi wrappers with rice in the middle. Sometimes she'll just eat the wrappers. I can't complain. It is, for the most part, good for her and better than some alternatives. She still is a poor sleeper and makes it through the night about two nights a week. Other nights, she is up off and on. She has never been very good at sleeping since she was born, so I guess it is to be expected.

Sarah, you look great. We would be the best of friends I'm sure. I love hikes and the Backyardagins too. Love you--Auntie Julie
