Opa

We sent Opa home today. Molly really warmed up to him - after we stranded her with him on Tuesday morning. Apparently she screamed until Zach was out of site, and then proceeded to have a slamin' good time with her Opa (which, by the end of his trip, she was pronouncing something like "Ow-pah" and was calling his name often). I was lucky enough to be able to spy on them twice while he was here and both times it was lovely to see them enjoying eachother so much. That is, until she noticed me, at which point she totally melted down and pretended that leaving her with Opa was the worst thing I had ever done. Of course, I clear evidence to the contrary.

Circles

Round and round we go. Where we'll stop, nobody knows!

But we do know for now we're having lots of fun. This week we get to enjoy Opa (aka Aup'). We've put him to work on the coop and we're getting super-deluxe chicken quarters!

blur

She's on the go - Toddler-style! These are some of my favorite blurry shots from the last few months... call me crazy, but I find something strangely appealing about them. Maybe it's because I feel like the last year and a half has flown by in a, well, blur?
