I’ve not been doing a very good job of keeping the blog updated.

I’m going to blame that on being back to work-there’s just not that much extra time in my days now. That and Vincent sleeps less during the day. Oh, and Elora has completely given up her nap.  Luckily I started that project 365 on Flickr so I don’t feel like I’ve completely skipped out on it.  Anyhow, here are some pictures from this summer.

Elora  really likes to ride her bike, but gets frustrated very easily since her feet don’t completely reach the petals and they easily  slip off. Then she starts crying and saying its “too hard”.  Then I try to help, which just makes her more mad and cry even more. Lately she’s been very independent and wants to do everything “by myself”. Of course, this  makes things take twice as long as they should and most of the time she cries because she can’t do whatever it is she’s trying to do.  I guess thats part of being 2.100_3564

This was taken of Vincent make in June. In a months time he’s really changed a  lot.  Here he is in a picture I took just last weekend. He’s growing so fast! He looks bigger to me everyday.

Elora loves to “cook”

well she thinks she’s cooking, but the stove is off.  give her a pot with about an inch of water in it and she’s good to go.  She likes to make “magic beans” -that’s when I give her a handful of dried beans to stir around.  sometimes she’ll make pasta, which is the same thing as with the beans but she gets a few dried macaroni noodles.
