Ruby’s book

The glamorous and grimy Ruby is showing me how much of her book she has written.
Fathers Day!
2013 June 16, Sunday · Casa Verde, Portland, Oregon





Asked for some Fathers Day photos. Was not disappointed.
Spring Walk by the Willamette
2013 May 18, Saturday · Portland, Oregon






We went on a weekend school hike, but went to the end of the hike first, so we were hiking by ourselves for the first part of the hike. We were delighted to find deer and ducks, and would have loved the tadpool pond, but we had to skip the pond in order to catch the group. Ruby rescued the ducklings, too!
Easter Hunt
2013 March 31, Sunday · Casa Verde, Portland, Oregon

















We had a little egg hunt in the garden this year (normally we have it inside, but it was warm enough outside this year!) Yes, most of the pictures are of Apl making crazy faces; she’s been doing this a lot lately, and it’s quite mesmerizing.
Mardi Gras – Carnevale
2013 February 12, Tuesday · Casa Verde, Portland, Oregon





















Mardi Gras, Carnevale, whatever … any excuse to dress up and dance!
This was the first real-Portland-feeling morning we’ve had in a while. Fresh, misty air and actual rain! It reminded us about the other side of Portland’s seasons that we also love.
