Out To Lunch

Okay, actually out hunting. Don't expect any posts for at least the next week and a half, as we'll be in pursuit of the elusive elk!

:o)

More Bat Stuff

You know I'm generally not in favor of licensed "stuff"

You'd never know it looking at Eli...

Quick, Robin! To the Bat-Box!

(thank you, Auntie Kim!)

Auntie Kim is Moving!

To Seattle! So sad!

She visited us this past weekend

Read books, ate pizza

and brought Iris an adorable fleece vest!

Any Day Now...

She'll climb those stairs

and get her drivers' license

Red Dress

These pictures stink...

But Grandma Anna would have loved that dress.

Boys...

Bobby pins + little boy fingers = Wolverine!

Accessorizing

Melonomel

Eli really likes lemon. Melon. 

I'm glad. It is such a challenge to get him to eat!

Music!

Iris Anna loves to play Grandma Anna's piano

How Bats Sleep

They probably close their eyes though.

Pretty Toes

His daddy doesn't like it, but I'm going to keep painting my little boy's toes as long as he asks me to.

Eli's Lunchbox

Eli's grandparents brought him a lunchbox from Yellowstone Park.

He's been going on pretend picnics all week. 

Here's his lunch:

Apples, bananas, and chicken with monster sauce.

(He says it's spicy)

Fishing. Again.

We have spent more time fishing this summer than sleeping!

Baby Cousins

Here are Iris, 7 months, Anna 5 months, and Treysen 6 months, with their grandparents

Baby Kisses

Nothing Sweeter. 

Famous Swords

I guess I am not the biggest geek around, since I can only think of 4 famous swords. 

This is Eli and Glamdring (the foe-hammer) I know, he's mixing genres!

The other three I knew were Excalibur, Orcrist and Narsil...

:P

In Which Iris Helps Eli Do Something Puzzling

Mobility

Only a few weeks ago Iris started crawling. 

Suddenly she is sitting on her own, pulling herself up on furniture, and trying to crawl upstairs. 

We had to resort to this!

Helpers

Being a SAHM can be a lot of work. I feed everyone, make beds, do laundry, feed everyone AGAIN, clean, blog, referee, enforce nap time, etc, etc...

That's why sometimes it's nice to have helpers. 

So thank you, Batman and Wolverine, for protecting the sausage. 

Voyage

Eli and Iris are on a boat, going to visit Tutu in Hawaii.

Eli sees a shark, so Iris stays sitting down for safety. 

:D

Close Shave

Iris (and her Momma) love it when Daddy is clean shaven!

p.s. look! she has hair!

Happy Birthday to Me!

28 years ago today I was born!

I looked like this:

(Kind of like Iris, but with a huger forehead)

It has been a lovely 28 years! 

Thank you all for the well wishes!

:o)

p.s. Jeremy - this is what I want for my birthday...

or a pair of these...
