today.

a view of downstairs from the stairs...

my kids at the pool.

this girl on her phone.  and reading.  and the way she holds her feet.

she went and grew up on me.  

and then this...

playing a game.  

oh hello toes...

playing outside...

slip n slide...

nora's friend party...

trying to light the candle.  love her face!

and her "shy" pose.

we had fun with some hawaiian friends and some san diego friends all transplanted to newport.  it was fun to celebrate nora this way.  and to see friends all in one place!  

this place is really feeling like home.  and yet new still.  it's a weird feeling.  i am so involved at church, yet am really still new.  it's been an interesting feeling.  

i have loved the moments we have had this week with the kids.  cherishing them.
