so it's been a gazillion years since my last post, so i'll just put up a bunch of pictures rather than feel overwhelmed about having to write a long update about our family and this is already taking forever because aidan keeps trying to bite me and thinks it's a really fun game. now he's hungry. now he's trying to climb on me. sigh. now he's placing his fingers over the keyboard threateningly. so anyway, we went on a trip to california, got married, came home, kids got sick a couple of times, both cars broke down at the same time (scott fixed both of them-- it's nice to have such a handy guy around), and the kids and i were stranded at home for a week or so. it wasn't bad though-- ivy was sick with roseola most of the time anyway. so here are some pictures from the last couple of months:
scott and a friend paddling out.
aidan going surfing
ivy, about to indulge in a sand snack
ivy, indulging
fun with paint
the artiste
summer splashing fun with a friend, colin
a bonnet i made for ivy during our home quarantine
the bonnet again-- i'm kind of obsessed with bonnets at the moment, probably due to
angry chicken's really
cute one. this is my own pattern though and i guess i'm pretty happy with it. i've already made a second one with the brim more rounded at the bottoms and i like that one even more.
and a silly little flowerpot pincushion i made while stuck at home. i guess i've been feeling crafty. i also made a GINORMOUS bag to put all my crap in when i go on outings with both the kids. i love how it came out but it's a little overkill-- i could probably fit both the kids in it. hmm...
that's a doll i recently made, sans her dress. i love stumbling upon sights like this
and this
this was a glorious santa cruz evening on west cliff, where our "honeymoon" b&b was. that's all for now folks.
