She likes to read on the pot... I hate this book so it has become the official potty book. Take that, Cuddles.

Loves babies...
Just a squirrel, trying to get a nut. OH, but look at that really cool fence in the background. Yeah, we built that.
I quit my day job to become a baby photographer. Oh yeah, I don't have a day job. But seriously this is my newest cousin and he his adorable. Congrats to his happy parents.

Camping little mama

seriously I can't stop...

If you look close you can see the top of Frances's head.













My beautiful nieces that I had the pleasure of hugging in NC. It was a gift in light of sad circumstances that I was able to reunite with my siblings and their families. We ate nothing but Carolina bbq, sweet sweet tea, and milk shakes for three days. Frank called me 'Sweet Tea' instead of Honey for a few weeks.
Both my Franks. I love these two individuals more than anything.



















It was worth all the hard work turning dirt into a place to play for Frances. With MUCH help from Frances's Grandma.

Long time, no post...

An amazing quilt from the Sisters, OR Quilt show. We had fun walking around this fun little western town with quilts being displayed everywhere. It was however very painful for our nephews while Mom shopped!



















It has been a busy summer. Some good and some not so good.
Here is the good stuff:
Frank's Mom came for an extended three week stay. She brought our nephews ages 11 and 12. Frances loved having a full house. It was a lot of fun. And for part of this time his sister's family of four was able to come for a week. Frances loved having her cousins to play with. It was hard when they all left. We have never had so many people in our house at once, it definitely feels empty. They can come back anytime they want! We miss them all.
Three is such a small family. Not nearly loud enough for me...or Frances! Family of four sounds nice.
Frances went camping for the first time. She also went canoeing and has spent a lot of time splashing around in public fountains with our best girlfriend Lucy and also in the new water fountain at our local park. We spent an amazing three days in Sunriver. Frank rented a bike and trailer. We are hooked and can't wait to find a second hand bike trailer so we can take our bikes out and about again. And the absolute best thing is that Frances has been proudly using her potty! The pee pee in the potty/ pee pee on the floor ratio is definitely tipping in our favor.
