Because she’s cute…

Another day, another swim suit… (Okay, she has three, but the bottoms on the one she wore yesterday really hang off her nonexistent tush – not that I posted the pictures showing it – so she only has two swim suits that I’m happy with ).

Splash!

“Yep, it’s good to be me!”

Linlee is getting much [...]

Afternoon with friends…

We are experiencing some heat in Seattle, so this afternoon we went over to Anne & Greg’s. The island their house is on was supposed to be cooler than any of the surrounding area, but Anne and I decided that this was a lie. We were still very hot! But the [...]

Girls’ Night Out

Don’t we look like Carrie, Miranda, Charlotte and Samantha from Sex in the City? Ha ha, not quite. Left to right; myself, Anne, Kristine and Jennifer. We are the moms of this crew:

Tonight we moms met at a Japanese Steak House (the kind where they cook your meal right at your table [...]

Sprinkler Time!

Yay, the sprinkler!

“I’m so excited, I think I will levitate…”

Gotta have a taste…

I had planned to have Linlee play in a new, flower sprinkler I bought for her. It says it works with any garden hose. Yeah, any garden hose except the one owned by the Young’s! UGH. I was so mad [...]

Lil’ peanut…

Linlee got to do lots of climbing, but I [...]

Allergies

Linlee has been suffering from what I think are allergies for the last two weeks. I’d like to blame it on the next door neighbor’s backyard, which he has never landscaped and let become overgrown with blooming weeds this summer (as you can see in the picture above) – but who knows what is [...]

Just checking…

When playing outside, it’s always a good idea to stop periodically and check to see if your belly button is still there…

Yep, still there. Phew!

Linlee’s knee length shorts are actually size 12 month capris!

Linlee Kate

Today Linlee was singing her own songs while playing in the backyard. (She’s getting much better about entertaining herself lately; I might even get to take a book with me the next time we go outside!) Suddenly she stopped singing and said, “Yinyee Kate,” in a stern voice. Then she shook her [...]

A Nice Summer Day

Today Linlee and I met a good friend of mine for lunch. She is beginning an African adoption and we are so excited for her! Linlee surprised me by actually eating the grilled cheese sandwich I’d ordered for her (as Red Robin does not offer calamari – ha ha). Then it was [...]

In the Dog House

Okay, really she’s just checking out Duncan’s dog kennel…
