it fits!

Thanks Joanna!

By self!

That's the key phrase these days, Unity wants to eat, wear, play everything BY SELF!(This includes taking pictures on the rare occasions she's allowed to touch the camera.)

She has also been able to get some good snuggles in with papa, despite his "sick leg." The fractured femur is doing it's healing thing, and we are doing lots of resting at home.

These are old pictures, from a sunny day on the beach.

Party Dress Day

While she's no Michelle Obama, Unity likes to dress up for certain days. Yesterday we went back to Tougo, the neighborhood coffeeshop where we watched the election results, to watch in inauguration on the big screen. Unity got to wear her "christmas dress" again, and hang with Hiram, Zoren, Alexa and Sophie.

Under the table...

Unity and Meridian seem to think that lunch tastes better when you eat it under the table.

at the toddler gym

We love the toddler time at the community center gym!

back to the usual

Hello. Our lives here are just not as exciting as they were in Chicago, so we have less photos lately. Sorry about that. Here are some shots of Unity dressing up and reading her new book "Naked Mole Rat Gets Dressed" with Papa. Oh and after more than a year of attending, I finally officially joined my Unitarian Universalist church this past Sunday. Here I am being ingathered.

turnip smells like good

We are back home in Seattle, having had a lovely time in Chicago with family and friends.

One of the first things we've done has been to see how the garden has survived the snowfall. Luckily it looks like the only casualty has been the leeks, which were pretty far along anyways. So we havested all the leeks, as well as some rutabegas and turnips for dinner tonight.

Oh, and Unity has pronounced: "Turnip smells like good!"

Here's a photo:

One...singular sensation

visiting relatives

More odds and ends of photos from visits with Lauren, Great Grandma Bette and (second) cousins Bella and James.

more fun

Unity had her first ice cream at the historic Petersons, read books with Grandma Ann and Polly and Michael meet up with cousin Lauren and other family members for brunch.
