Chillin' like a villain

Too bad Ph spends far too much of her time in a car seat. I guess that's what you get for being the 3rd child.

Q: Why didn't I pull the dress down to cover up the stinkin' Kirkland kanga?

A: too many other things on my mind.

This is the dress my mom wore for her blessing, my sisters Sarah and Susannah wore for their blessings, and that I wore for mine. Leah Bluette and all of her girl cuzzies (ex. Eve because Leah had her own blessing dress before my mom thought to use hers---so she had her daughter blessed in hers) have worn for their special day. Jon's blessing was beautiful. I've thought about transcribing it here, but don't know if that would be considered a bit sacreligious. My family was unable to attend, so I'd love them to hear/see it.

Now We're Really Bonafide

I haven't written anything in a long time. This is the only sentence I could coax out of my writer's -block-stricken head:


Three kids is pretty monumental.

That's about all I have to say for today.

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"

as opposed to bonkers Esther who is attacking baby Phoebe and screaming like a hooligan at the top of her lungs!
