First Imaginary Friend

Lyabee (pronounced: lie-a-bee)

Ainsley's first imaginary friend showed up today!  She apparently misses her mommy and daddy.  Her mommy works in Washington DC.  She is 2 but will decidedly be 3 at her next birthday.  We don't know when that is. She likes to dance.  She can be held in Ainsley's hands.  She's a fantastic conversationalist in the car.  And she came over for dinner and playtime tonight.

Camping at KOA Hagerstown

Baby Stella, gear piled high, pup in the far back... pre teen? She found and figured out how to 'use' the headphones from jasper's bag! Looks like a natural.

'to infinity and beyond' (she's into Toy Story)

Our little scientist.... ingredients: sunscreen, hand sanitizer, water, rocks, pebbles, coins, some grass and dirt

Attack of the rabid mosquitoes!

 

 

 

Hooray for our new sony camera!  We love it! (And thanks, I guess, to our exploring toddler who lost our last one so we could buy a shiny new one.)

Visiting Cousins in Spokane

An afternoon at Riverfront Park, home-cooked meals, nights reading books in pajamas, piano playing, card games, art center, couch jumping, talks into the wee hours of the morning, unfinished games of scrabble, afternoon coffee, a day at the lake, lip gloss, Bionicles, sidewalk chalk, and plenty of laughter.

Oh, and Ainsley's first Bee Sting. (ouch!)
