Hodge Podge

An afternoon playdate with a dear friend this past weekend resulted in a masterpiece of a mudpie. These two play together so well, they 'disappear' into the back yard and are very very busy. I'll spy on them and see them digging, mixing and foraging. I'll ask Hannah what did you two do? "PLAY!" She answers. This photo does not illustrate how dirty they actually got. Filthy..

Evelyn is a tad bit upset here, we don't know why. Perhaps she is tired from standing. She doesn't always know how to get down. Note that a molar is erupted. I love the anguish.

This past weekend during a classic Fairbanks fall day we visited Creamers to view the cranes and geese before they migrate. Meg and Phinn joined us. I imagine that this is the view Evelyn has from the backpack as she peeks over my shoulder.

Everyday more and more yellow leaves fall on the lawn. Those cranes are circling every evening and I am waiting for the day when they have departed.
