Blog Slack

You can choose to believe me or not, but I have actually composed and rejected three posts since the last one, um, TWO weeks ago. And I like to blog, but sometimes I need a little kickstart. And sometimes life with two little needy babies and a house and a husband and a business gets a little wonky when I try to prioritize putting new pictures on the blog. I'm full of excuses. And pictures! Here're some of the things we've been doing around here.

Making forts
(Note: This activity is short-lived, as Eden is a structured rule-follower and Judah likes to destroy things.)



Playing in fountains and being cute.



Getting bug bites and playing outside in INCREDIBLE weather


(This might be my new favorite picture of Eden. Just posting it here because I think she's pretty.)


Dancing and doing "twicks" and seeking an audience for the performances.



Figure Drawing in soft pastel (thanks Crayola)




Making homemade "letter cards" with Eden when Judah is napping to work on letter sounds, which Eden is enamored with at the moment. (The puff balls were part of some counting game she was playing with Daddy.)


Riding the carousel at Windmill Island (though this was taken a moment after Eden had second thoughts and said, "I want to wide de bench, mommy...")



Practicing facial expressions like this one, which we call "Unimpressed Viking."



Cooking shirtless. (Mostly Judah.)




Driving out to Sandy Pines



Playing with Boppa in Lake Monterey and enjoying the end of summer.

I'll try to be better, I promise.

Wonderful, expressive pictures...as usual! Do you know what's growing in that field on the way to the Pines? (I've wanted to stop and record this myself many times...camera's never at hand!)

Beck said...

No idea... perhaps growing fields for a local nursery? It looked like a variety of flowers. I couldn't stop myself.
