Performing...And Not Performing

Happy 1st Birthday, Wiza Boo!

Thursday we celebrated Eliza's first birthday. I'm nearly certain there isn't a sweeter, happier one-year-old around. How we've loved, loved, loved having Eliza in our family!

Thai wraps for dinner: mmm, baby!

Summer 2013 Photo Overload

I've been a little burnt out on blogging. Did you notice? (Three kids. I have THREE of them.) So, here's a quick rundown of our summer. 'Cause Mama's got to go to bed.

June: Grandpa Tim comes to visit! We paint bunkbeds and go to the zoo.





















July: Tamsie turns three and promptly breaks her arm.









August: We visit Grandma and Pop-Pop. Portland still feels like home.

















At the Portland LDS temple: ten years an eternal family!



September: Camryn starts kindergarten. And loves it. Tamsin misses her sister.









October: Stephen and Melinda come to visit. The cousins go wild.











It was a great summer. I have too many children. And it was a great summer.

Halloween 2013

Hey! I'm back! And here's a peek at our Halloween!





Raring to go.



My girls ready to begin their night of sweet-toothed hedonism.



Storming the neighborhood.













As we canvassed the streets, flock after flock of geese flew overhead in the twilight.



Daddy appeared halfway through our candy hunt and became esquire to one tiny, timid princess.







The kids on our loop, all tired out.



I love this neighborhood.
