little M does BIG d

  

away we go! 

over the mountains, across the oceans... to meet her family and discover her texas roots. she met her grandad, her pedie, her mimi, her auntie, her great aunties, uncle, cousins, second cousins, friends, extended families... so many cuddles!

first up, dallas:

(how will i remember all these names?)

sweetest dreams

father's day 2015

 

father's day is in september down under. kp wanted to take the family to mount kosciuszko national park in our new ride. we spent most of the day in the car (lb narrowly avoided plowing down a kanga on the way home), but managed an hour or so at the river. we'd brought along a picnic, but the kangas were a little too inquisitive (and hungry!) for us, so we ended up eating most of it in the car.

like mother, like daughter, like daughter

i tried a million times to reproduce this shot of my mom and me with M... i could never quite get the angle and composition right. this one is not right, but i like it. i think i see the same mixture of love, gratitude, and sleeplessness in our eyes.

bob and mr. lapin

looks like bob found himself a new kitty daybed while we were away... it has made for some crowded diaper changes.
