Decorating with Fabric

For Liza, because she asked:

This is our first step towards decorating. It's standing alone right now until we find other fabrics to go with it:

A Close-up:

Here's our bigger project:

It needs to grow a bit, as you can see:

We're excited to continue with it, but here's a start!

Rainy Afternoon

Nathan had the car on this rainy afternoon, so Elsa and I did what we always do:

We baked (blueberry-lime muffins), and then of course we ate a few:

We painted a scarf:

Which led to a bath with several toys:

Which led to Elsa doing some naked ballet dancing with balloons:

Gotta go. Someone's picking the blueberries out of the muffins again. I know this because as she's doing so she's saying "what Elsa doing?".

Elsa has been really into dancing lately. Really into it. Exhibit A:

When did she get so big?

katie's unpublished diary entry 1

man, sometimes i just can not believe how crazy-awesome my sister anya is. she gets to eat apples with peanut butter for breakfast like every day, how great is that? AND she comes up with genius ideas like how elsa should be our family dog raizan for halloween. think about it; raizan eats everything in sight and sleeps on top of my head a lot even if i push her off! genuis! just genius that anya is. plus the fact that amia, our niece, selected her out of all of amia's aunts and uncles to be the one in the following drawing with grandpa and grandma is just a testament.

Drawing to come.

KATIE, ELSA, AND NATHAN ARE OFF TO HAFIA!!

and anya will now take over katie's blog. it's like house-sitting, but with a blog.
