Discovering Whole grain cheddar gold fish.


Becoming more physically active.

A visit from Papa and riding in the Wienermobile.

Finding new games to play with Teddy.

Rudy Plays "Chickenfoot"

Rudy is preparing for Big Poppy's next visit by learning to play "chickenfoot"--a dominoes game regularly played when the Harper family gathers.


All those who have experienced playing with Johanna and Mary Katherine will be glad to hear that John is introducing Rudy to the proper ethics of the game.
