Back in the trout water

january to march 2011

well, as always, it is nice to come back home. utah, oklahoma, san francisco (for payton), colorado and new mexico were all wonderful to visit and we had a blast with family and friends, but we were delighted to come back to a cool, wet adelaide summer and stop living out of suitcases.

canon and nova partied in his crib. they share a room now, so we've had a lot of talks about how nova is not allowed to crawl in to bed with canon in the middle of the night.

nova uses the jolly jumper like a swing.

turns out there's a couple of grizzlies in australia!

i went to a hen's night (i.e. bachelorette party) for a friend and nova got dressed up to come with me. i especially like her accessories: trucker's cap, scarf and silk coin purse. still, she seemed ok with staying behind once she realized daddy and canon weren't going...

are those penis straws in my hair or am i just happy to see you?! hen's night.

canon in his command center. i love the bogan singlet romper. klassy.

our elfin princess

if she is a future prom queen, it is going to come with a LOT of sass and sarcasm. that's my girl!

daddy, by nova.

do do dooo! sweet shades.

canon loves solids. literally.

does anyone remember the disney cartoon "robin hood"? nova is more in to it than canon.

i mean, really. what is a little brother for - stranded on the carpet and sluggishly immobile - if not for putting things on...

... like his toy box, for example.

awww. i will tape this picture to my forehead when the kids are 13 and 16 and we're on some REALLY long road trip and nova wants to read while canon is blasting death metal, or vice versa. and payton is singing "we're going to bonny dune". and i will wear earplugs.

first haircut...
