I love being able to escape to the park again. She's really learning to love the swings, and the slide, too, which was not a favorite last year. Too bad the rain is coming back tonight!

Daily Photo: Baby flops

My favorite purchase of late
(earlier in the week, but the pic is from today)
Baby flipflops: $2.00
More flipflops: $2.00 (I bought four pairs, total)
Watching her learn how to walk in them: priceless

The inside says, "This is the inside of it!!!" It even has a back message: "Here's the back!!!" I can't take credit, though, as it was birthday wishes from our friends J & K.

Happy birthday baby!

This is our third year nursing a transplant from Will's family's homestead in Idaho. I need to consult a horticulturalist on the next step but for now, we're just happy that it's thriving. It seems appropos to post this on the eve of Will's b'day, yes?

We went to Portland's First Thursday walk tonight with friends.

I'm such a sucker-- I read these over and over and over again.

Will's lunch time wanderings produced this.

Sometimes I worry when her face gets serious like that.

Daily Photo: Watcher

She was watching her father, a common occurrence. Her talent for mimicry is astounding, but her ability for stillness is the true gift.

Testing out our new photobooth set-up on our friend Kathryn.

We must be doing something right.

Gus took some night shots up above the city.

Daily Photo: The good stuff

Chie and her friend Teddy rummaging through the packing materials. I had no idea that they would get so much entertainment from popcorn!

Lunch was leftovers from Pastini and so we had a little cop-a-squat action in the living room.

Daily Photo: Growing

You may recognize Dayli from her newborn shoot. She's now a very busy little eight month old!

We made this amazing recipe off of Tastespotting, and then topped it with some more fresh veggies. It's my new craving.

We've been taking a lot of trips to the park together. This was taken at Aardvark Fun Park.

We spent a large portion of the day in our pajamas chilling at home. It's so bleary out that it's the only thing that really makes sense.

Burst of yellow

Forsythia that we used in our display at the wedding open house on Saturday at Persimmon Country Club.

Purpose?

We had the northwest version of a snow storm on Monday. Will couldn't get down our very, very steep driveway for a few hours so he took the baby out to see "SOOOOOO!!!!" When she got to it, though, she couldn't quite figure it out.
