Park time

This is at a park in Sioux Center Iowa. We all had a great time.

There was a huge tree. It was really neat.

Happy girls

Relaxing times

Cruising down the street,

with no pants on,

climbing in my car.














Emma loves mustard...and her dad.



















"I have a secret, no one will know"












So, tell me again, why do you have to go back to Seattle?

And where is Seattle?

Our true blue kitchen

Last Saturday, we painted the kitchen. It was intended to be a stony, grayish blue. Now, the pictures aren't exactly accurate, I don't think it is this hideous in person, but it is a little brighter than we thought it would be. Nevertheless, it is much better than white, and we like it ok for now. Emma, on the other hand, was shocked. She couldn't believe our color choice, and had to take a moment and gain her bearings.












Kari had the pleasure of witnessing this great change. Her choice of attire was unfortunate, however, as she blended into the wall quite well and we nearly ran her over on several occasions. To combat this, she took to flapping her arms dramatically whenever we came near. ;)
















Kari said she is going to look for some nice country border with a goose wearing a straw hat. If anyone has any wicker, and perhaps some dried flowers to add to the mix, be sure to let us know.
