Chop, Chop, Chop

What’s this?  A rare photograph of the blog author herself!  And, yes, I got my hair chopped off.  It’s been way too long since I’ve done this.  I love it!

“New-yeek”

Thursday, May 27th, 2010

You know, Noah, Ellie looks a lot like you did when you were this age.

But Mummy…I’m…I’m new…I’m new…new-yeek.  I learned that.  That I’m new-yeek.

New-what?

Mummy!!!  Don’t you know?  NEW-YEEK!  There’s no one else like me in the whole world.  I’m NEW-YEEK!  You never knew that before?


Summer…

…and Phoebe’s face expresses exactly how I feel about it!

This is by no means a great photo, but it gives you a little glimpse of what we saw this morning across the way at our park.  A doe with her brand new little baby fawn following on very shakey legs.  It was so cute.  At one point the fawn even laid down for a rest and I had a great opportunity to snap a better photo, but my CF card was full!  Doh!

Noah’s Big Catch

Tuesday, May 18th, 2010

The big fishing opener was this weekend and…well, we fished.  Dave got a license, the kids fished for free, and I took pictures.  It was really a lot of fun!  Noah caught the first fish of the day…  (Navinah Riley, to the left of Noah, and Tirzah Riley, to right of Noah, are pictured here…they’re the daughters of some of our BFFs from college days that have recently moved back to the Cities)

It was a Sunfish, I think. (?)  Not much meat to them, so we threw it back in.  Oh, and that fin on top?  Razor sharp.

He was pretty proud of himself!

P.S.  I like this pic of Dave and the girls…

P.P.S  Elijah and Zeke wanted to make sure that you knew that they caught fish last night.

Here I Stand

Ellie has just recently aquired the very useful skill of pulling herself up to a standing position.  Useful, that is, for getting on her mother’s very last nerve.  :-)   Why sleep in a crib when you can stand at the rail and scream?
