Salsa Girl

Anya loves chips and salsa. Especially salsa. Last Sunday at lunch she loved her way through a whole bowl of it.

What do you do when you run out of chips to scoop with? Use your fingers, of course.

P & A Pics

I don't feel like I've kept up with kid pictures very well this summer. Paxton and Anya are growing like little weeds - it seems like every time I turn around Paxton has learned some new skill and Anya is trying to stick rocks up her nose.

Andrea snapped a couple of pictures the other day while they were outside enjoying some pleasant end-of-summer weather. Paxton worked and worked at getting the garbage cans brought back up to the house. Great job Paxton!

Anya took a walk with her two buddies, Mouse the cat and Lady the neighbor dog.

Yesterday we played in the leaves. This is the first fall that we've had a place with a substantial number of trees and I'm afraid that we're going to be buried in them. I may have to take a lesson from Cliff and rig up a leaf-sled to get them all to the compost pile. Or, maybe the wind will blow them all away...

Paxton and Anya enjoy flattening out a little pile that we made in the front yard.

Second Room: Done

The paint scheme in our new house is a bit odd. Andrea was able to get the kitchen painted before we moved in, but she didn't really have a chance to do much else inside the house this summer. Frustrated by the lack of progress, she pulled out her trusty paintbrush again a couple of weeks ago while I was in Tucson and swung it in the general direction of the master bathroom. I finished putting up the new towel racks yesterday and we officially checked Project #2 off the Endless List. Looks good, don't you think?

Anya thought the stud finder was great fun to play with. I don't think she found any.
