it's 80F...

after playing at the park, Totoro had to remove her top because she was "warm". a new sensation, to be sure.

love this shot:

running with the arms up? okay...

wait for me!

(flight to) chicago:2010

so, we're leaving on a jet plane...

and when we land, we're actually going to need these:

buh-bye snow! i'm not going to miss it. at. all. (lilah might...)

us.

this should be an album cover, or a book cover, or something:

squirrel and friend

totoro was teasing this squirrel relentlessly.

now you see her now you don't

down at the weir on the Kelvin:

now where has she gone?

wah-hey! she's back!

whoops... invisible again!

koala

we were changing a bummy, and lilah/totoro said

Koala need some cream. He have a sore bummy.

ok, i said, you get the cream and we'll fix his bummy. (thinking, of course, this is pretend.)

as i cleaned up my job, totoro took no time at all in not only getting the cream, but opening the tub, and using it properly on the area on Koala that would be considered the bum-area if Koala had one.

not quite sure how to get sudocream off a stuffed animal, though.

favourite picture ever

just a normal day at home

camera shy

lilah is fully capable of reading the entirety of We're Going on a Bear Hunt, but the pressure of performance got to her this first time.

i'll post another one soon so you can enjoy the well-read story yourselves.
