Home Lately

We've been spending lots of time at home lately but have been doing lots of exciting stuff regardless of not getting out much! Miranda has recently been practicing "going to work" ~ she comes to announce to me that she's leaving, goodbye mommy and then she marches all over the house with the stuff she's taking to work that day. Here's the latest get-up...





Michael has discovered that he loves showers, perhaps because he is fascinated by Daddy taking them. Here he is one night after his shower (quite proud of his towel!)



Our garden has picked up again after it got used to the crazy heat and everything is growing and blooming and producing more fruit or veggies. Our tomato bushes have tomato worms which the kids love holding and examining and I don't mind if they get squished by little fingers holding on tight

More Michael Pics

The digital camera that Great Aunt Denice gave Michael last year has turned into the gift that endures! Not only can we believe it has survived all the dropping and throwing and rough-housing that two toddlers can dish out, but both kids still love it and want to be the one playing with it almost every day. The pictures it takes are so-so (Is that the user or the camera? We might never know!) but unless they're all black (camera pressed up against the thing being photographed) or all white (photos of the sun almost never work out) they come out alright.

(love that curly hair but we had to cut it, he was getting shaggy!)

No pants (s-o-m-e-d-a-y he'll be potty trained, right? Please?)
