Alivia the tired princess


Alivia decided that a good way to occupy her time tonight would be to stamp herself. (Myles and I were cooking Japanese food and otherwise occupied.) She got out the princess stamp set and inked up. To complete the look, she took out a blue pen and put eyelashes over her eyebrows and lines under her eyes. What a beauty!! She was quite taken with herself. Addi, however, was not. His flat response to her exuberant shouts of: "I'm a princess!" was simple: "You are a tired princess with bags under your eyes."

(Luckily, she doesn't know what that meant and twirled happily.)

My Mom

We wish Mom were still here to watch Alivia be pulled in the sled during our winter excursions in the Cascades. We miss her when we're playing: Stick Out Your Tongue When Dad Says, "Cheese!" with the new camera. I ache that she can't watch Alivia and Adison grow up. But we know her love stays with us and that Addison knows Nonni Angel will keep the bad dreams away every night.
