Random pictures spring 2012


Josie likes to pretend she is being boiled for dinner in the bath sometimes. She even adds veggies and spices to the Josie stew. Yum.


In this picture Josie is imitating a character in a book she loves, called No David! As you can imagine, David gets into all kind of trouble, including when he bangs pots in the kitchen and makes a huge racket. Josie thinks this is hilarious.


Naps have gotten a little interesting lately. Mostly we don't have them, but in this day she got a sliver in her foot, which was so traumatic that she just cried herself out of my lap on the couch. Sweet :)


Josie is big into helping. Here she is helping dad drill some furniture together.


We made a twinkle cave as a nice calm spot to go when she needs to cool of a little. She put a blanket and a stuffed animal in there. Heaven!

La Tourelle Falls

We had a nice family hike today in the Columbia gorge. It was not as warm as we thought it was, and Josie was pretty tired so she rode on daddy's back most of the way. She did enjoy eating some foraged sour greens, munch munch. The waterfalls were impressive! For me it brought back lots of memories of hiking in the Gorge as a kid. I'm pretty sure the Grompes had a Christmas card picture taken in front of this waterfall one year.
