We've hit hat-wearing season here in Kodiak. The air is crisp with fall, with winter creeping around the corner. EllaGrace, of course, has lots of hats to keep her sweet little head warm. There are three I especially love & this is one of them. It was a hand-me-down that I tried on her yesterday. It fits perfectly, so will join the rotation process with her other two absolutely adorable, perfectly fitting hats. As a result of her cute hat, I took some pictures.
Worldwide Photowalk
I participated in Scott Kelby's 5th Annual Worldwide Photowalk this year, on October 13th. The weather wasn't overly pleasant- rain, lots & lots of rain, & it was windy & cold. Just about the perfect way to capture Kodiak. It was also a lot of fun. I really enjoyed going out to shoot non-people images, for a change. I realized I never do that, which I'm sure my kids love me for :) Here are some images captured during our two hour walk.
My Little Thumbsucker
EllaGrace is my thumbsucker. It's pretty darn cute. My sister is a dental assistant, so she doesn't find it quite as amusing, except that it's Ella. Pretty much whatever Ella does is adorable. At six months, how could it not be?!
Happy Alaska Day
Today is Alaska day. Some have the day off work. I imagine Ry's learning about it in school. The weather looks like a stereotypical Alaskan day- the sun is shining, frost greeted us early in the morning & snow blankets the mountaintops. Now if the bears would just go to sleep. At home, we're looking at a very old book that's probably very politically incorrect. At least the map is fairly accurate. Happy Alaska day!
six months old today
Six months passes quickly. In this short amount of time, a lot has changed. EllaGrace is still smiley; she's still happy & she's still so sweet. Perhaps we all say that about our babies. But I promise, she is. She is also now full of movement- rolling, sitting, dancing, flailing. Her bright eyes are a mix of slate & brown. Her hair is dark, or at least compared to my blonde boys. She makes us all smile. The boys are in love with her (& sometimes fight over her). Mike likes to call her squishy. I breathe deep & soak up her sweetness. Somedays are a bit chaotic, but sitting down with her makes a lot slow down. Happy six months sweet baby girl.
5 Months Ago
Last night I put a print order in. I don't print pictures of the kids often enough, but I'm changing that. I made a new photo display, just for my 4x6s. Once it's full of photos, I'll share it (& don't worry, that won't be long)...in sorting through images, I came across this little gem from 5 months ago. An entire summer has passed since- Covey has turned 3, Ry started kindergarten & Ella is now sitting. A lot happens in 5 months.
