Being Silly

Here’s a picture of Katherine being silly in the little crawl through toy they like to play with (I forget what it’s called). I couldn’t resist grabbing the camera. :)

Big Beautiful Bird

Look what was having it’s breakfast this morning on top of our play set in the back yard.

Sorry the pictures aren’t great. I was taking them from the kitchen window on a high zoom. It is a pretty bird though. I love that we have hawks and owls around here. I can hear the owls at night while I sit in my dining room. It’s so cool.

Anyway, this hawk is a big one. We once had one half its size, at most, chase a bird into our big back window. I heard the thunk and looked out to see the poor stunned bird stumble around while the hawk watched from a branch of our Japanese maple. I think he was too leary of getting that close to the house. The bird came to and got away.

Snaggle-tooth

I have been thinking about my blog lately and wondering if I’ll ever get back to posting to it regularly again. I really want to. But I’m so busy. I have a lot of pictures and stories so I will try when I can.

In the meantime, enjoy this picture of a snaggle-toothed Samantha. I just loved how when she grinned that tooth looked like it had taken center stage in her mouth. It was just so funny! This was a few weeks ago and it’s long gone. In fact she lost it that very day. But it’s fun to look back and remember it.

With the tooth gone, she can now do a good vampire impression. Hiss and all. haha! Of course, she’s too cute to really pull off the whole vampire look. :)
