Sailor girl

How cute are these pictures of little Nora, with a bow on top of her hair? She looks so sunshine-y and ready for some sailing!

Someone has found her voice

Someone has found her voice and she demands to be heard!

Pie

This was the scene tonight after it was determined it is very messy to eat Marionberry pie. I think we may have to designate a "pie shirt" like Ian has a pasta shirt!

Hide and Go Seek
