The Busy Bee

One of the many names we have bestowed on Elizabeth is "The Busy Bee" as she is in constant motion. Here's a couple of short video clips of her in action.

A Walk on the Beach... in February

It's a balmy 50 degrees in Seattle, only one of us has a runny nose and it's a 3-day weekend. In our house that equals... HIKE!!!

One of Elizabeth's favorite stories is about a Goblin who hears a spooky noise and hides in a tree. She was more than pleased to provide a reenactment for us. We were pleased to watch even with odd stares from passersby wondering why two folks would encourage their child to sit in moss.



We got to the ocean and saw a bird diving to get a fish. We looked intently at the bird off in the distance and we probably looked something like this:

Then we wiped our noses.

Happy Hair, Tea Party and finally some documented smiles

We got through January in the Pacific Northwest in the Jensen household, which is always a milestone. 6 more weeks until spring, whoohoo!

We've been amusing ourselves by letting Elizabeth cook, hosting her first tea party and of course, messing with her hair.

Also please note that she is actually smiling on a couple of these photos. She doesn't really like cameras, other than to toss them around, so this is a big deal!

And Happy Chinese New Year to all! It's the Year of the Rat, where the Rat is associated with aggression, wealth, charm, and order, yet also associated with death, war, the occult, pestilence, and atrocities. Yow.

As a first hand illustration - Nancy is a Metal Rat - no, not the head banger kind, the Wu xing kind, where the Primal Spirit is represented by a White Tiger. I don't even know what that means, but rwor.
