Sunday Evening Repose

we went on a hike in one of our favorite natural spots. An urban oasis. Phoebe was a trooper, as always, in her Bjorn.

Esther getting in on the trick action. She promptly fell on her knees in the bark after this shot.

Making her dad proud

Leah has got Jon's natural physical abilities. He'll have her scaling cliffs in no time at all.

There were never such devoted sisters

Cure for an annoyed mother: "Sweet Esther Without Guile"

4 Fairy/Princesses and a Monkey

Look at these cute girls. I esp love estie's get-up with the t-shirt underneath. She did have a simple Dora costume (bought "Backpack" and put her in shorts and a t---easy peezy lemon squeazy)......but she decided to be Belle at the last minute.

A little love from the tummy tum tum

The New Me, Old Me, Real Me

Got my haircut a few weeks ago. I feel so darn liberated I could scream.

Must Record

Jon had golf lessons tonight. Esther really wanted to go, so Jon told her that when she gets older, he'll take her golfing. So later tonight while getting Estie in pjs, I was putting on her diaper when she said,
"I have a penis."

I said, "No you don't!"

We talked about her true anatomy, and she said, "I want a penis instead."

Yikes. Penis envy starting early. "Why do you want a penis?"

"So I can be like daddy."

"Why do you want to be like daddy?"

"So I can go golfing." I couldn't help but totally bust up~!
