20 Weeks

half way there!

summertime, summertime

i was looking through the photos on my cell phone the other night.  so many pictures from the summertime........i hate to rush time, but seriously, summertime is the best. the best. the best!  and i can't wait for it to come around again.  flip flops, tank tops, cold beer, days spent at the lake, my mom's awesome deck, pools, beach days, and the hot hot sun.

this morning...

we have a half hour drive to sparrow's day-care each morning.  i recently turned her carseat around to face forward and i have to admit, she is much happier.  she notices everything now...... the sun rising, the morning moon, seagulls over the damn.  i love that she notices all the small things.

sneaking a photo of sparrow reading

she loves "getting cozy" on mom's bed.

*um, that cat pillowcase was mine when I was about 8 years old.  i can't believe i still have it.

random

i developed some old film the other day.  i think the picture of gypsy was taken in 2008 at the apartment in monroe.  the picture of sparrow was taken a couple months ago on a disposable camera (with an extremely bright flash!) i found in my old camera bag.

"one day there was a silence
and it washed through the town,
and there was no reason to speak
so no one made a sound,
her eyes were indigo and the cats were all calico
and the sail boats they all sailed by...
and a river she cried."

what we did on saturday

mom collecting wood in her subaru. 
sparrow sitting next to all the wood.
unexpected lunch at johns best (yum, yum, yum)

our halloween

sparrow was little red riding hood for halloween.  my mom made her pretty little costume.  we had a major snow storm, our entire town was out of power, so we couldn't go trick-or-treating :(

swept away

it was a foggy morning
