Chrissy and I are officially soccer hooligans. We snuck into Qwest field to take this photo.

Also there’s progress on my weekly growth picture.

Two of the three plants have sprouted. I’m not sure if the other seeds are going to they might have rotted because it’s been raining a ton. More pictures next week!

Plants! They are Growing!

March 25, 2009

A couple weeks ago we bought a window planter while Paul was in town. We fastened it to our railing and I planted some spinach, broccoli, and rosemary.

Houston we have liftoff!

Hurray! I was starting to get worried since it snowed about four hours after I set the planter up outside.

There was some cat grass that I was growing inside until fluffernutter dumped it upside down into the sink…

Thank you everybody!!!

we found our own smaller private hill to sled on. It was awesome because you could coast without running into trees. We enjoyed it.

Super Foggy Day

October 28, 2008

Art projects are in the making, many of them for the Holiday Season coming up so sadly cannot post pictures of them.

I was surprised with how foggy today was so I thought I’d share.

You can usually see much further out. It’s nice though, whenever it was this foggy in Florida it was muggy and uncomfortable. With this you just can’t see much further than a block. I wish I had a chance to get a picture of this tree that was a bit taller than a house, because you couldn’t see the top of it.

On the camping front we recently got in two sleeping pads, the kind that are filled with a foam so you can compress them, but they auto-inflate.

And I ordered this yesterday in anticipation of Casey going camping with us at some point:

Casey's Backpack

First it’ll probably be at a camp site, and eventually we’ll find some back country place we can take her with us.

I’ll post pictures of her wearing it once we get it in.

Fall is Here!

October 25, 2008

So it has been getting chilly here and it is officially fall. The leaves are changing and falling everywhere and it’s fantastic.

So naturally we go and get some Pho and Paul drinks out of a coconut to remind us of warmer tropical times we are pleased to not be a part of.
