Runnin' Rampant

A portion of our recent Portland visit included running free through Grandma's courtyard with various outdoor "decorations" -- a flamingo wind chime and hummingbird lawn ornament being the big hits. All of this in a courtyard reserved for quiet, mature adults who generally stay on the concrete pathways...oops.

Naptime: 0, Anders and Jorja: 1

Naptime is losing.

Other than the afternoons in which someone other than Momma and/or Mommy transition the kiddos to naptime, Anders and Jorja are successfully keeping their eyes wide open from 6am until 6pm. What happened to napping until 4 -- or at least 3? Isn't that what all the child-rearing books mention? Isn't there some kind of guarantee?

Here we have Anders and Jorja lounging in my bed, wearing my pajamas, and reading my books that they retrieved from the top of my dresser that they accessed by standing in a drawer of my clothes...during "naptime" in their bedroom.

Overdue

Yes, yes, I know. I've somehow managed to neglect this blog for nearly two months. Days roll into weeks, weeks roll into months -- but at least I have pictures to share. So let 'em roll...

Nothing out of the ordinary here. Anders not napping and Jorja napping.



Alki Beach explorations.



Honey Bee fascination.



Grandma and Jorja walking the farm trails.



Anders, Jorja, Scout, and Tasya at the Dragon Park.



A favorite pastime -- sitting on the potty reading stacks of books. Check out the new hair-do!
