It's obvious we've been a bit busy. Okay... I've had time to read a few other people's blogs, but haven't the energy to whip up a blog post. I have wanted to talk about the fun that the triathlon was -- how my daughter has started pushing boundaries like no one's business -- how our personal life has been in utter chaos and upheaval until a few days ago -- but what little energy I have left is going into revisions for the dissertation. Which is due October 1. for a November 5 defense date. Yes, really, a defense. Yes really, i will be done.... but that's a joy of another matter.
What I logged on today that seemed worthy of 5 minutes of blogging attention was this photo.
This is Stella and her friend Anouk (my friend Julie's daughter). This picture seems to encapsulate their personalities so much so that I can't even explain it fully. Stella is crying out in joy, attention, frustration, something... (actually, i think she was trying to get Scupper to come). Anouk is looking at her with such confusion, apprehension, or just plain - who ARE you girlie? I love it.
And yes, they are both sitting in swim diapers on a 4x4 on the edge of our yard. Go figure.

thank you for the quick blog and the quintessential photo. Now when you find 5 more minutes - please fill in the other details!! Gotta love blogs - I can still check in on your adventure. with love, glynn
in my mind she's saying, "my mom's gonna be a doctaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!"
and her sweet little friend is like, "come again?"
and then stella goes on to explain that although you won't be a physician, you'll still be a dr. of drama, which is even better, because, ya know, no shots. xoxo
PS is it just me, or do we need to go to extraordinary desserts, soon?
