Maren calls this one Still Life with Sister, Ponies, Gnome & Dinosaur Habitat

I LOVE my sister








Say Cheese!


GET THAT MOOSE!

Get that moose Sadie!

She bit it and sucked it and shook it and held it tight!





Birthday Party!

Maren loves a good birthday party. She went to her friends Shannon and Erin's partylast weekend. They turned five and the cake was pretty exciting!
(Although they look quite serious here don't they? Focus, focus on the cake.)





Guess who is trying to sit up?

Just this past Saturday morning, Sadie started to lean forward everytime we put her down. A few hours later she added grunts and groans and actually started pushing her whole body forward. Fists clenched, legs up, chin down determined to sit up! Wish I could include the sound effects- eh-eh-eh-eh-eh-uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!



Oops...try again.







Portraits

I found these portraits on the camera and guess that a small person got a little camera crazy while I was away. The following pictures are a la Maren. Some look on her face!

Chubby & Bald

We rarely leave Sadie naked in these cool temps and so when she is naked we are always surprised by all the new rolls and pudgy parts.

She is balding too!

Chubby chubbers!



Pajama Day!

Yesterday was PJ day at preschool. Play in your jammies!


The kids made placemats and pancakes too!



M-A-R-E-N

Spelling with crayons!

Nonny and the girls

We LOVED seeing Nonny!

We love you Nonny!
XOXOXOXOXO


Beach day at Compo

The perfect beach day- 45 degrees and BRIGHT sun!


Sadie sun-bathed in her fleece cozy.

The sunlight was bright and direct- what a treat!

Run!

We ran into Bono on the beach.


The sunlight was warm- hard to find in AK right now.


There was a mama turtle on the beach laying her eggs.

Eggs ready to be hatched!

Ride 'em cowgirl!

Did I mention how much we enjoyed the sun?
