I love chubby baby feet :)
We went to celebrate sweet little Eva's first birthday today.
Today I gave my sister a lesson in pie making. Apparently it's an art that I have mastered and my expertise was in high demand now that Jean doesn't live halfway around the world. We had a great day together, and delicious pies at the end of the day. And happy husbands as a result as well.
That's all I have to say, since every time I try to come up with something else to say I just delete it.
This beautiful girl is my niece, Jillian. We spent the morning at her birthday party - she is already 'free' years old! While there were a lot of fun cousins and friends to play with, Jillian wanted to spend most of the morning sitting on the couch with her favourite baby cousin. Deacon was happy to soak in all her affection, and it seemed like this birthday snuggle was one of her favourite gifts.
Can you say 'Poster Child'?!
She's so beautiful and so much fun. She was determined to eat her supper with chop sticks tonight. I'm not sure how much actually made it into her mouth, but she looked fabulous while she was trying! Don't you love her messy hair?

After spending the better part of the day out of the house, my shoulders and neck seized up as soon as we got home. Seized up as in, I couldn't turn my head, it-hurts-so-bad-I'm-collapsing-on-the-kitchen-floor kind of pain. My wonderful husband brought me Advil, ice, helped me up to bed, and let me rest while he got the kids supper and off to bed. Big thanks to Deacon too, for napping with me and not fussing. A bath helped loosen me up a little, and now my back is on fire thanks to the Tiger Balm. I hope I'm feeling better tomorrow.
I had the privilege of taking some family photos for my brother and his beautiful family today. What a fun time! This is one of my favourite shots.
Anytime I do a shoot I kick myself for forgetting this, that, or the other thing. Today my big regret was that I took too many wide shots and not enough tight crops. Oh well, live and learn. There are still a lot of great ones :)

Migraine day. Yuck.
I am so thankful that Clay's job is flexible enough that he can go in a little late on days like today. My mom came to take care of the kids so I could sleep - thanks, Mom!
With my headache still lingering, but my sight recovered, I headed off to my food co-op sort. Hauled it home in this box. One shot. The end.

There's a bag of apples on my counter, waiting for me to bake pie. I think Clay is also waiting; however, all I did with them today was build a tower. Soon, soon...
Thanks, Jayna, they are awesome :)
