April 2025 — together is better than apart

Happy Easter!

This truck looks like a white version of our favorite book character "Little Blue Truck."

Walking on the bike trail on Easter, Eleanor to passers-by:

Eleanor: “Happy Easter! Happy Birthday!”

River: “Happy Easter! This is my baby, Jack. And that’s Eleanor; she’s my sister. And that’s my mom. She’s Mom. And I’m River. That’s me!”

Today, Eleanor looked at me so sweetly and sincerely and told me that she wants to be a monster truck. I told her that if she wanted, she can drive a monster truck when she was big (but she can’t be a monster truck, because she is a human). She agreed that this is what she wants. I dreamed of becoming a teacher for as long as I can remember, from a very young age. And now, of course, I am. So, at two and a half years old, Eleanor’s ambition is to drive monster trucks. Maybe her dream will come true, too.

River and Bud made the solar system, 4/22
