269/365: a good, long life

{a good, long life}
Last night, after her amazing quinceañera birthday party, Cory died in her sleep. How neat that we were able to celebrate the sweet blessing she was to our family before she went.

Once I Ate a Pie

The sun is warm
And I sleep.
I dream about when I was young.
I chased snowflakes in winter.
And ran through the grasses in spring.
I still bark when I want to.
And tonight I might howl at the moon.
But now the sun is warm.
And I sleep.
And dream.

Explanations for a few...
(row, column)
C1: Kate pulled books off the shelf and excitedly declared, "A BOOK!" with each one before tossing it aside and getting another one. That reminds me I still haven't picked up in there.
C3: Saint Kirby.
C4: Defines our week. Colds for both girls, plus a teething Kate, plus Nick out of town country has been rough. We didn't leave the house much at all. It's so hard to feed a baby with a cold. Good thing Caroline has reserves. :)
D2: Kate gets super excited when she sees the moon in the daytime sky. Funny... she goes to bed so early that she never sees it at night!
D3: Orange crayon in Kate's teeth. I let her color in her high chair while I was tending to Caroline. At least she was happy and quiet!
E1: A diaper explosion on Caroline's freshly ironed, WHITE shorts not 5 minutes after I dressed her ... so typical.

Can you tell we've been spending more time outside? The weather has finally given us a break, and Kate and I have been enjoying lots of time in the backyard. And lots of time in PJs too, I see...




Explanations for a few...
(row, column)
B1, B4, G3: Caroline's footie pjs
B2: my grandmother playing peekaboo with Kate
C2: my morning coffee (I bought this mug for nick when we were dating. I never pulled an all-nighter, but Nick had many sleepless nights. Education vs. Engineering)
G1: my newest film camera my dad bought me for my bday





I used the Hipstamatic app w/ the Ina's 1969 film and the Helga Viking lens. Love that combo!
