Sisters

It has taken me so long to get a

decent picture of all three of them.

This is about as good as it gets.

Eden's Birthday

Elmo, after the party

This was Eden's

preferred method of

eating her birthday cake.

I had to use so much red dye,

we all had ADHD immediately

upon consumption.

After the Storm

It's hard to describe the feeling of seeing
so many downed trees. Especially big ones.
It's frightening to recognize that something
so large can be so vunerable. It's humbling
in a something-can-unexpectedly-knock-you
flat-on-your-ass sort of way. After our neighbor
used the word "heartsick" to describe how she
was feeling, I asked Erik why it was so sad. We
talked about the studies that show that if you
can see trees out your window it lowers your
blood preesure. We talked about how humans
have relied on trees for safety for thousands of
years and that sort of evolutionary programming
doesn't just go away. As Erik said, "Us monkeys
like trees"

I'm having some trouble witjh my server, so these won't be pretty, but I figured some pictures are better than no pictures when it comes to grandparents.
