some new old pictures

some pictures from last weekend that i haven't gotten around to uploading yet:


she's very helpful when daddy's playing guitar hero.




the deer in our campsite, see it?




this takes a lot of concentration.




hugs :)

sloppy baby kisses

we get many of these a day now! she doesnt have the pucker or the kiss sound down... yet. but she is very careful to put her lips exactly on yours, and usually if you ask her for a kiss she'll give you one.
it's sooo sweet.
but then sometimes she sticks her tongue out...


here she was giving him kisses, but not with the camera out.



i was supposed to be chasing her.



here she is dancing to 'bananaphone.'

tornado!

those thunderheads weren't just thunderheads.... they turned into a tornado! dwayne was on post and he saw it form right in front of him! it went south really fast though.



aren't they cute?

thunder at midsummer

sophie loves watching the thunderheads just like i do.

a little off-subject, i am working on my final project for history of midwifery - if anyone knows of a good source for birth art (ancient times to present day) i would love to know about it.

birth stories

check out www.birthdiaries.com - i totally got sucked in last night in the homebirth section.
