Giving in

Most of you are used to reading lengthy rambling with every post. Because of this, and because it seems to take me hours to write up something and post pictures, posts have been far and few between. So, I've decided to listen to a very wise woman (thank you Colette) and my husband, who have told me on a number of occasions to stop worrying about the ramble and post pictures. So I'm giving in to fatigue. I'll endeavour to post occasionally with a little more diatribe, but for the moment - a photo essay of the last couple months will have to do.

post script - it was way easier to do this!

Gives you an idea of what the weird weather here this spring

First trike ride (look out pedestrians)

Picasso she ain't, but circles are something

Princess?

Ah, the smirk

Ya, right mom

Hiking Kiyomi style with Kenji and Aya

We're so proud

The hairdo of choice these days ... also known as "cwazy hair"

They weren't kidding when they said 'caterpillar role'

Driving Kenji and Aya's new car (wait till she asks for the keys)

Don't ask me, I just live in this house

The parting shot for tonight (if it works) is actually a video of Kiyomi's premiere as a conductor (yes, her instruments are two singing frogs and a singing pig). Good night from Ottawa.
