So many "new" pictures!

I've decided the only reason blogger is useful to us is for posting larger quantities of pictures for family to view.  Now if we would all get on Facebook, wouldn't THAT be a dream!  It would be so easy!  A dream, yes - something imaginary that will never happen.  :)

Enjoying some grapefruit together a couple months ago

I've since put the kibosh on this anti-social behavior, but what a funny picture!  :)

Climbing down a slide

You should hear her say "slide!"  It's so cute!

Making a HUGE and totally fun mess while I make bread

She needed just a little more flour....

Do I do this??  It was really cute!  She stood very attentively for several minutes with her hand on the mixer.

Us with our good friends Andy and Lisa on a night out recently

Silly girl actually placed a couple of blocks on her tower with her mouth!  I love how silly she is.  :)

My family will have a special appreciation for these next five or six pictures.  One evening I sent Andrew a text at work saying, "meet us at the Lake Hood bike trail after work!"  There we met him with a picnic!  It was NOT warm weather.  It was very windy and cool and I almost decided to cancel, but then I remembered all the memorable (notice I did not say 'pleasant') times I had in Ketchikan on windy beaches roasting hot dogs and building fires and never being quite warm.  So we did it and had a really fun time together!
