Claire Helen and I agree this is the perfect little girl's dress. Green corduroy, good for running and climbing, not too pricey. My way of demonstrating affection is to buy it, though we don't strictly need another dress. Her way is to wear it 5-6 times per week.


Running with feathers, and Mat's Aunt Jane and Uncle Mark in the background. We had a great visit with them, and only wish we'd gotten more non-blurry pictures.



Hiking in the cascades this weekend. Kind of a trippy sideways picture, yes? Kids did a great job, not fazed at all by the fifty billion mosquitoes, and even walking on their own 50% of the time. Go kiddos.
