Like Father, Like Daughter

Will has always been into computers and now that Moira is old enough to play and be responsible on the computer as well, Will went and bought her her own. Now they both have their own laptops. Those two are so much a like. They are both active and love to be outside, and are good photographers. There are other similarities, but it might be TMI.









As for Kyla, she is the cheeky one. She has always loved to make us laugh. Once she finds out what we think is funny, she will do it over and over. Our laughter only adds to her sillyness. I love that about her.

Homework

In the Backyard

I love our backyard. The nectarine tree is so laiden with fruit that the branches are nearly touching the ground. You can't even see the girls' sandbox that's under the tree. Whenever I sit at the kitchen table I can't help staring in amazement at all of the fruit. It will be another week or two before they're ripe. We can't wait!

I also love to watch all of the birds at the birdfeeder. Whenever I tried to take a picture of all of them they would fly away, no matter how quiet and sneaky I tried to be. You'll have to take my word for it that the garden and feeder are usually teeming with little birds. I can hear all of their tweeting inside the kitchen, even over the sound of the morning cartoons. It's a wonderful, soothing sound to hear all of the happy birds. I hope all of you have a special place, too.

Joining the Masses

I never thought that I would join the millions of others who post their thoughts and opinions publicly online, but here I am. Actually, my sole reason for doing this is to keep in touch with friends and family who are scattered all over North America. Hopefully this will give everyone a chance to see a little bit of our life here in Boise, Idaho. I will be adding photos very soon.
