I am completely worn out from a long shopping expedition with the boys (Charles never saw home — we picked him up and he crashed on the trip home and didn’t wake up even as I took his coat off and put him in bed). So, all you get today is this picture of Alice:

You can’t pose pictures like this. I actually wanted to get a picture of her standing up for the sidebar, but she must have sensed that and insisted on getting in the chair. But, haha, I got a picture anyway! This pretty dress was a gift from Laurie.
