Pace aka Peace

I have been thinking a lot lately about when I was a kiddo and summer was that ocean of time that spanned on for ever. Days did not have delineated hours that ticked by rather they all ran one day into the next (especially in Alaska during the summer - night time was the short window between dusk and dawn that one might catch a few winks or play on until day again, smile).

We need to look at ways of incorporating that into our day to day! Take walks, naps, paint, play and just sit under a tree and watch the day unfold. Or I will need to immigrate to a country with a siesta and a slower pace of life (which is not a half bad idea).

For now I take pleasure in the day to day as much as possible and remind myself through my daughter's eyes to live in the moment.. Tomorrow will come too quickly.

Time Flies and flies

Oh what a summer!

Summer may not be my blogging forte. We have had 3+ birthdays, 1 anniversary, a week and in some case 2 weeks vacation, lots of crafts, projects and face it its summer! Who wants to be on a computer? (My love/hate relationship with technoloty rears its ugly head). What follows is a montage to some of our summer moments.

Its All Good

Busy few weeks and not much time to document (beyond flashing the camera here and there). We are in full create, play, experience mode around here. For Father's Day we went to A Midsummer celebration on Lake Sammamish. Really fun, lots of free child friendly activities including pony rides, water slides, floral head wreath making, face painting and balloon animal making. Was pretty fun for parents too! Happy Father's Day Tobias!
