ducks. geese & bicycles

happy early spring.
are we the only one's out there burnt out on being sick? yikes. it has been the tb ward / gastro-blowout/ mucus parade / eye-gunk / no sleep / short nap...wow. I guess I sound like a whiner. on a more positive note, the sun came out today and nobody (cat's included) puked at 4624 n.e. 18t street today. woohoo!!!!!!

we have birds and bikes. what a menu. hope you enjoy.

love

catch-up

no. our camera is not broken. just tinkering with the settings. i think these shots nail the energy of this weekend. we have had, as I am sure all of you have, a good month and a half of the nasty winter bug. I have always been a huge fan of the Portland winters with all of the rain (I think Liz is on the other side of the fence :)...but we are now waiting for the Spring to come along and zap the funk. let the little ones run free outside and have these little funky bugs that have been zapping their spirits be gone. elle, seb and dylan have had enough of the coughing, the puking and the lethargic nature of the winter months. hope you all are well.

be good...
