Emma over the sea, Emma catch a blackbird, you can't catch me!

Fun-filled Friday

Peaceful scene near UW

Hiking adventure

We had lots of fun hiking in the Oakland Hills today and there were SOOOO many juicy huckleberries thanks to our unseasonably cool summer. Mom only wishes she'd known beforehand and would have brought a pail. A big pocket on her stretchy black shorts did the trick to bring quite a few home anyway.

Painting fun at Martha's Vineyard

The paint, and the aftermath. Good thing cousin Dalia was willing to look after "baby" and save the little blanket Grandma Connie made to match Emma's blankies.

Great visit with Holly!

It was so wonderful to catch up with Holly the past two days! I'm glad she's on her way home to those cute little boys.

Beach time

I am loving Martha's Vineyard and did great on the redeye flight with Daddy. We are looking forward to Aunt Sara's wedding.
