We are so proud of alma for all his hard work. Spending lots of time partying it up while we can.

jagger's latest - by alma

Here is Jagger’s latest drawing. We made a rocket out of a 2 liter bottle yesterday, so they are kind of his thing right now. Video of the launch below.

my beauties

alma did a shoot of v and jagger the other day and i die over just about all these images. i took the ones at the end of civil and v a couple days later. i think i have the cutest kids ever. maybe i'm a bit biased...but it may still be true, have a look!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

joy school pictures

here are these 3 cuties. i decided we would have a 'picture day'. these three are so so smart. when it's my week, i don't always look forward to it, but it has been a really good thing to be able to teach them, and see how they are all learning and interacting with each other.

I was skeptical of the rain gutters actually working, but here they are. Things are coming up pretty good, thanks to the Oregon weather.
