I love that one. She looks so serene.
So, I promised photos of our travels around Oregon this summer, didn't I?
Ocean World, where the Landy kids tried their darndest to teach Lillian how to pose for a photo. They are very well trained in the art, but Lillian needs some practice.
Would you look at the size of these trees?!? So amazing. If you ever get the chance, definitely make time to drive through Stout Grove in the Redwoods National Forest.
Lillian was a little disinterested (hello, thumb), but Ray and I were glad we took Sally's advice to stop and see some of the falls on the way home from visiting Michael, Sarah, and the kids in Sisters. So pretty.
Speaking of Sisters... I was terrible at remembering to take photos of the kids while we there, but I did get this one at the quilt show in town.
Yup, that's a PT Cruiser covered in a quilt. In the stamping I do, I've come across the phrase "I'll stamp anything that will sit still long enough." Well I guess quilters have the same feeling! The quilt show is a HUGE annual event and there more quilts than I've ever seen before. Main street in Sisters is actually a main highway, and they actually shut it down for the show and the thousands of pedestrian lookie-loos. There were more quilts than I could photograph, but here are a few that I liked, including ANOTHER quilt-covered vehicle (a minivan this time)! Such detail in these beauties.
Hey, look! It's Brianne at Crater Lake!
Hey, look! It's Trent fishing with the guys!
Hey, look! It's Ray being icky!
Ewwwww.
More recently, Lillian has taken up some computing.
And she has started helping Grampa make coffee in the morning. What would he do without her? She shows him step by step... First, scoop...
... then, dump...
... then, find a snack in the cupboard!
We've started going to the local library for story time. On her first visit, Lillian got to make her first work of refrigerator art!
I tried so hard to get a photo of her proudly holding up the artwork with a great big smile - but if you can believe it, she doesn't always cooperate!
Ok, before we overload on photos I should call it quits. I'll leave you with a video of Lillian doing one of her favourite passtimes - chatting away on the "telephone."
Oh, there is so much more! Hopefully I'll find time to post them before another month flies by :)
