Summer, So Far

I don't think it gets any cuter than this (thanks for this photo Bernadette).

Jane has been enjoying "coffee" (hot, er, warm chocolate) with us on weekend mornings. It's kinda a big deal.

Our dear dear friends Rick and Bernadette had a beautiful cake sent to us on our anniversary (R and B are the most genuine, thoughtful and generous people we know). I am not sure I can describe the sheer joy and excitement Jane felt over a surprise cake arriving at her door. She could barely contain herself.

Art project! One afternoon Jane and I made block prints with some linocuts and finger paints. Jane was an absolute pro and I am so excited to do more art projects with her.

Here she is rolling the paint on the linoleum with a brayer.

Gently putting the paper down.

Patting down the newsprint.

Time for a new color!

Happy Girls!

Late Fall 2010

I'm back! Here is my "every 6 months" deluge of blog entries which will bring everyone up to speed on all the news we deem worthy around here. This batch of a dozen or so entries will probably be followed up with another flood of updates right before the the 2011 holiday season. Enjoy!

Chris brought home the most delicious and architectural produce this fall. It was a treat to photograph and eat.

It is that magic time of night, about twenty minutes before the bedtime, that Chris and I become human jungle gyms.

In and effort to make bath time more interesting and two kill two birds with one stone, Chris dons his swim trunks and hops in with the baby.

Autumn's Bounty

Squash are one of the many reasons fall is my favorite time of year. Thank you Chris for growing and harvesting all this lovely deliciousness for us!
