hand-off

(no pun intended)

Well, Doll Repair wrote me back with an estimate that is reasonable!  Replacement of both hands may sound kind of iffy, but I think I'm going to go for it.  Stay tuned...

p.s. It's rainy again.  Why else am I so wrapped up in this doll saga?

rain, rain, go away

I think the worst is over now (1. Find wood.  2. Knock), but this June has been rough!  We have occupied ourselves with the great indoors, and we're all going a little stir-crazy.  Here's a quick recap in pictures...

Playtime inside with some grumpiness (She got the car.)

Momentary sunshine and happiness (and sneak preview of our yard's evolution). 

More rain.  

Playing inside again (with some silliness).

Arts and crafts project at home:  Stringing noodles and Cheerios to yarn necklaces.  Actually just eating them.  Raw.    Please, rain, go away!

Hopeful that the rain will stop...

March Album

Lots of time was spent indoors this month with the rainy weather, but we did get a chance to visit Nehalem Bay with some friends.  Our first yurt trip as a family of four included roasting s’mores and playing pirates in the rain.  More beach adventures to come!

sounds like rain

I'm not sure what object in my yard causes the rain falling outside to sound like a guitar strumming, but I love it.
