monarch

Isabel's been caring for the neighbor's baby butterflies, and ToDaY was the big day.  The video spans 30 min in real time, with the second half sped up 40x.


Olympic

With the best backpacking buddies you could ask for, we shared 5 days hiking the Olympic coast. As a family trip I think we'd all say it takes the gold, but it required an equally impressive effort to navigate. Heavy packs, soft sand, endless boulder fields and surprisingly scare fresh water made for sore muscles, but the scenery and solitude left all souls smiling and asking for more.  An Olympic level adventure it was.

It's Isabel's season finale of middle school today, and already she looking a bit like her next role... a cute and clever high schooler.

Didn't think the fireplace would be part of our Memorial Day, but 42° and 30 mph winds make it feel pretty nice.

Cold , grey and a few snowflakes for April's end.

Ozzy

Nearly everyone loves Ozzy. He's just 9 weeks old, but for a puppy seems a nice balance of snuggle and spunk.  On the other hand, Samson just wants his bed back.
