it is so cold

i took a walk yesterday to get out of the house and take some pictures. it was so cold. brent and i walked a few blocks and on the way home i couldn’t feel my face. or my legs. as soon as we stepped inside our house the sun started to shine. i was sorry […]

photo recovery

that’s what i’m doing right now because somehow all of my pictures from chloe’s party are gone. deleted. i have no idea how it happened. first i cried a little and then i started trying to get them back somehow. i’m running a recovery program right now but so far i’m getting the pictures back […]

ghost hunter

okay not really. but i did spend saturday evening with a paranormal investigation group. an old friend of mine heads up the group and his most recent investigation took us to the majestic theatre.
i think it’s believed to be haunted because of this:
“In 1918 the Spanish Flu epidemic hit nearby Camp Sherman, and the Majestic […]

peeking in the keyhole

peeking in the keyhole, originally uploaded by inaboxofpaint{charlie}.
noah and chloe hid under the blankets and took turns hiding behind closed doors and peeked at each other through the keyholes. they jumped on the bed taking turns with the fairy wings. the big bed- where some nights we all end up in a pile (okay, more […]

playing in the sun

need. more. sun.
we like to play in the sun that comes through our kitchen windows. we dance in it, jump through it, find objects that we think will look lovely in it.
i actually like winter and i love snow.
but we are ready for spring. more walks(even […]

my chloe

chloe is beautiful. she is sweet, impatient, demanding.
she is getting to be less of my chubby baby every day.
she’s a terrible sleeper but a fantastic cuddler (which nearly makes up for it).
i’m amazed by her creativity, her gentleness, her thoughtfulness.
her hair is getting curly and crazy just like mine. this girl. she is becoming her […]

rainbow

the weather was freaking me out last night with high winds and the random bright as noon at 7pm which does not happen in the winter here.
but the insane double rainbow almost made up for my fear of tornado.
and it’s going to be 45 degrees today so we are packing for […]

rainy walk

we ventured out for a walk even though it was wet and windy.
n&c splashed in puddles with their rain boots.
we decided to head to the store to pick up some finger paints and conversation hearts.
they painted, had lunch and candy, and are currently dancing. i haven’t accomplished anything […]

love

a migrain is settling in. not good.
i can’t believe chloe is wearing her rainbow pajamas. i bought them before she was born and just couldn’t imagine her big enough to ever fit them.

last summer

last summer, originally uploaded by inaboxofpaint{charlie}.
this photo was taken last summer. i’m sure brent and i bickered over things on that day. i’m sure noah and or chloe had at least one tantrum each that day. but that’s not really what i remember. i remember looking at noah and chloe like this- facing the ocean […]
