E B B T I D E

early morning, house is silent and the light is gray

I drink my coffee and

think about

what I have to do today

Let the past drip down the shower drain

let the coffee percolate

the ghosts of all your dreams away

early riser, don't be sad

these are the moments

the crystal moments

that you always wish you had

the future starts each day when you arise

so make the best

the very best

of each day

you are

alive

About a week ago, we agreed that it was time to get the girls their own rooms. They go to bed at different times now, and Lindsay likes "alone time" to read before bedtime and during the day. So we decided to take the "toy room" which they never play in and remake it into Grace's room. Grace chose the colors and everyone pitched in. See the great pix of phase one below. Once Grace's room is done, it's Lindsay's turn.

Here's a wordle based on my book. Ever wonder if you use the same words over and over again?

The Dalles and Cherries

Way behind on my posts. Last weekend we took a trip down to The Dalles. Found Lindsay a new bike and picked Cherries with Aunt Mindy.

The Dalles in July

It's the latest venture for us in what is turning out to be a busy summer. Here's the rundown on summer so far...We had a fun little 4th of July at Dun Elsie in Grays River. Saw a Beaver Game in Portland went to Eastern Washington to for Emily's first birthday. Grace graduated from pre-school. Click through to view the whole gallery.
