Mama-Daughter Sleepover at Grandma's, 11pm

Last one standing! Yeah!

The Zoo, The Fountain, & The Ocean

Liv and I have been busy this summer. So much so that I'm taking pictures waaaayyyy faster than I can post them. But, I thought I'd grab a few favorites from some of our recent adventures to share with Livvie's legions of adoring fans.

First, the zoo...


Feeding the budgies at Willawong Station has become our new favorite zoo activity. A dark shot, I know, but you'd be surprised how hard it is to hold a camera and a child holding a stick on which perches a bird all at once.

My cute little caterpillar on the way into the butterfly exhibit (also high on the LivList).

It's a Zoo, it's a museum, it's amazing - it's Zoomazium! And they have a cool slide.

My only (attempted) arty shot of the day. I am so not my wife.

Testing the waves at Golden Gardens.

Beach babe in motion.

I love this shot because the perspective makes it look like she is a giant emerging from the forest.

Liv walks the fine line between hug and headlock.

Manna from heaven this fountain in the park directly across the street.

Same shot, different day.

Video Rewind

I have had my hands full keeping the little one busy lately, and haven't had time to post any new pics (though we have a lot - maybe I'll just do a highlight reel later tonight). So, I thought I'd dig up some old material and share the video I made for her when she was around 9 mos, filmed at the Skagit Valley Tulip Fest, our Bellingham apartment and a park near WWU.
