Veronica likes playing in our car, so it makes sense she would also enjoy playing in...

"My cheese"
... That's what Veronica says when she wants her camera.
I've been letting her use our old point-and-shoot.
The other day she took this photo of me sewing a button on my shorts:
I wanted to preserve her vision so the shot is completely unedited, uncropped, etc. Pretty impressive work, if you ask me. She even obeyed the "rule of thirds." And because my hands are in the shot you can tell I had nothing to do with taking it.

Trim
Veronica stopped in at momma's hair appointment on Saturday and had a little taken off the back.

I love this girl.
Maybe she picked up the hipster look in Portland... Read more...

Portland
We were in Portland last week to visit auntie Chelsea and cousin Ezra.
We started with a picnic at the rose garden:
Veronica got to play with some interesting new toys:
It wasn't long before she put on her swimming suit:
It wasn't long before she put on her swimming suit:
... And checked out the local splash pad:
She looked up to her cousin and wanted to do whatever he did:
... Including eating and drinking:
Tuning in to The Street:
Magnificent view of the Columbia river gorge:
Pretty awesome waterfall:
The "soaking pool" at our hotel was great fun:
Ezra loved it too:
We stayed in an old school that has been converted into a hotel. Here's what our room looked like:
Teddy bear pancake:
Powell's books:
V was jealous when she saw mommy holding cousin Ezra.
Take a close look at this next photo. See all those black dots? They are thousands of birds (Swifts), swirling around that chimney and flying into it. I didn't have the right lens with me to take pictures of this phenomenon, but here's the best I could do:
This video taken with my iPhone doesn't it do it justice either, but it's still worth watching:
We had a picnic and watched the birds for a long time.
Meanwhile, Ezra slid down the hill on a piece of cardboard:
Ezra is quite the climber!
The wheels on the bus go 'round and 'round:
...So does the merry-go-round (in case you're wondering, those marks on her face are from her sunglasses):
Arriving home:
Here's a list of places to which Veronica has flown in her first two years:
- Minnesota (five times)
- Denver
- Baltimore
- Kauai
- Portland
On the next trip we'll likely have to buy her her own ticket :-(. Read more...
