the times, they are a changin

i had big plans to post before and after photos of our house. clearly after living here for over a year it became less and less of a priority. but the kitchen was probably the most dramatic change of all.


 these are our first set of baby chicks that nero would later massacre. rip.
 we had a lot of fun this summer, filled with sunshine and battered food.
 em started riding poncho, our pony, more. she got to the point where she could ride on her own!
 like every child in america, em has a small obsession with iphone apps that make her look like animals.
 due in november!
first round making kimchi, it reminded me of when my mother would do this. i don't think a whole lot of people make their own anymore, i really liked it and the control it gave me in flavors.
 during the summer, jse decided one day that he would conduct his own camp which really involved kids playing outside until it got too hot, coming in to cool off, and then going back outside again.
 we dropped in on lesley's week long stay at hyatt lost pines this summer. it was as close as we got to the beach.
 of course we were out on our boat a lot. em is starting to learn how it works. it occurred to me that we definitely have the ugliest boat on lake waco, but our view and enjoyment of it is the same.
 em and el dressed up like super heroes on her birthday.
 we took a trip to charleston, it was very fun even though i was starting to get big. this was outside of sean brock's husk.

 other children don't mind getting wet in the rain. this one wants to be prepared.
 we went on a echols family trip to colorado, this was outside of the train that we rode from silverton to durango.

 em continues to write letters to dogs. this was to kudu, a sick puppy in charleston. he has since felt better.
 resourcefulness
 this day, em decided to cover herself in accessories and shoes at the store. i sold three pairs of ankle boots the next day.
 she started kindergarten! she is doing great, loves her teacher and has smart, sweet kids in her class.
