Cape Disappointment

Birthday girl Cheila

Cheila is officially 11 years old today.
I think she is actually turning 15 tomorrow. (Or maybe she thinks that.)
Anyway, I can't believe that I have a daughter that old. I guess that makes me old. That means that I turn 31 soon!!!!

What is wrong with this!!!

I'll tell you what is wrong with this picture

Elli is eating an oreo and wearing a St.Paul Girl neclace

Need I say more

Rainy Sunday

Well, Portland is doing what Portland does best.

Rain.

So... I have one bored girl on my hands. I told her to be creative. This is her being actively creative. Playing in the rain with goggles, wearing my thermal long underwear, and playing ball. She did have some dress-up heels on but I made her change shoes. (Hey, a girl loves to wear heels.)
