Laowai

Nothing big happening around here lately. I have things on my mind but I’d have to actually do some thinking to put my thoughts down and right now I’m feeling lazy. So instead I’ll just show you a few pictures that I’ve taken recently.

Brian bought the biggest apple ever!

Sometimes we go out for dessert. Sometimes we take our best friends.

I took this picture of my quilt a while back – the back is almost more interesting than the front. I’m on to the quilting now – making good progress with lots of quiet days.

Bea is very against painting her own fingernails, but she likes to paint Claire’s. A rare moment of getting along.

This might be my favorite kid art ever – a little lady face that Bea made at her after-school art class.

We took a walk at the botanic garden.

Some photos from Brian’s recent travels:

Chicago from above

The Clarence in London (significant only because Clarence is what Brian calls Claire)

The blue boat on Lake Zurich (significant because we used to go to the window and spot that boat with Bea right before we tucked her into bed)

It’s still all Simpsons all the time around here. That’s a Homer slipper that Brian found for Bea – in case you couldn’t tell what you were looking at.

The end.
