Interlude

Trying to get back into the swing of things... 

A Good Morning

A Little Bit of Attitude

This one is starting to show her own fashion ideas. Taking after her sister (maybe her mother too!)

A Princess, a bear, and Rody

Skeleton Reader

This girl always finds a comfortable spot to read.

Taunting Me In Her Sleep

No, she's not hiding. This is how she sleeps. Every night I have to go in, pull the blanket off her face and make sure she's still breathing. Yet another example of how the "self-preservation" gene is just a myth.

Wild Eyed

So right now I'm living on lattes and adrenaline. Which means that I'll probably look like this when you see me.

It's rather exhilarating.

When I'm not working, this is what I look like.

Down By The River

 

Late Afternoon Jaunt

Fort Vancouver, Autumn Light

 

Bear

I didn't notice that she still had Bear in her hand until I looked at the picture later.

 

 

I guard Bear very carefully, I'd be as devastated as she would be if anything ever happened to him.

Sweetpea

This girl is the vibrant color in our life every single day.

 

School

School days are pretty great when you can sit in front of the fire and snack on carrots while you work!

 

 

Absorbing it all while in the vicinity.

Silly

They really tried for a sedate, nice photo, but the silliness just took over...

Disgruntled

Sweetpea is not as gung-ho about hiking or nature walks as the rest of us.

If she has to walk.

It's a different story if she's riding in the "pack-pack"

Cocoon

Oh, she's so tired right now. Can hardly manage to leave the house before asking to return.
Snuggly.
Huggy.
Lovey.

Growing right before my eyes.

Oregon Coast. Secret Hideaway.

A weekend at the coast is always amazing.

This, however, was beyond spectacular.

Summertime Jungle

Now seriously, wouldn't you rather stalk your way through a grass jungle than walk through grumbling about overgrown weeds?

 

That's the beauty of kids, so many regular things are transformed into magic adventures.

 

Two Girls

Two girls on a Sunday afternoon. Despite the squabbles they're such good friends

 

Dad

We two, we are for sure father and daughter.

Love you Dad!

Breakfast Food

We usually have oatmeal for breakfast.
