Words don't come easily this evening, but it's been on my mind to update the blog, and so here I are. :)
Our time home on the Big Island was precious, and something I am still unable to write about. We returned home to Washington at the end of July, and have enjoyed sweet days full of sunshine, friends and family, and for myself, a constant, aching awareness of having "one less"--miss you, Mom.
And, now, the easy part:
Finn Turns 4
 |
| He happens to be one of our favorites. :) |
We Go to the Blackberry Festival
 |
| Blackberry Festival on the Bremerton Boardwalk |
(Need I mention Kiana took the following 4 awesome shots? Nah-I didn't think so.)
 |
| Littlest. |
 |
| Middlest. |
 |
| Also the Littlest. (Well, he used to be; then he turned 3.) |
 |
| Bossy. I mean, BossMan. |
 |
| Heading home, waiting in the car for Daddy. |
We Eat a Lot of Sweets,
and Hang Out with Uncle Kale
 |
| She's at it again--my baker extraordinaire. She has gifted us with brownies,blackberry cobbler, cookie pies, and this "back-to-school!" cake; I assure you, it has all gone to waist. :-9 |
 |
| There are more fun shots from this day, but I am too lazy and/or law-abiding to hijack them from him. |
The Girls Pick Blackberries
at Dorothy's Place
 |
| Our gracious hostess. |
 |
| Miki eventually gave up being sneaky about popping every other blackberry into her mouth. |
 |

 |
| Happy girl! |
 |
| SweetTart. |
 |
| Fresh air, fresh fruit, and a cool old barn--sweet. (Oh, and some silly geese. :D ) |
We Remember
 |
| ♥ Days in the sunshine ♥ |
 |
| Down in the Valley. |
All for now.
Happy Monday!
