Visiting Moscow

I recently got to go to Moscow for a conference and it fully delivered on gorgeous yellow (birch or oak mostly) forests, cold, snow, and massive malls which made me tell a friend, ya’ll are great capitalists. Click to browse and see info on the photos and don’t miss the video. Changing of the guard,… Continue reading Visiting Moscow

Mira at 6 months

We’ve made it half a year now  with our precious handful. (Yes, she’s a handful all by herself, but awfully cute.) So here are some photos of Mira at 6 months. Threw the last one in there lest you think life is always smiles and giggles around here. 😉

It’s best for when you want to go about a mile to pick something up from a friend but don’t want to walk or wait for public transit. Also for getting out of town and jumping in a lake.

Mira’s first 3 months

Today is Mira’s 3 month birthday. This seems like a significant milestone to me for some reason… though it’s possibly just because of the way they size baby clothes. Here are some of my favorite pictures of her at 1 month, 2 months and 3 months though. With a bonus 2 month thrown in because… Continue reading Mira’s first 3 months
