Orwell diaries

On my Google reader I've been enjoying my subscription to The Orwell Diaries. They've been publishing his diaries exactly 70 years to-the-day after they were written, starting from August 9th 1938/2008. I think I've only been reading them for about a year. Some of them used to be quite uneventful, such as how many eggs he collected that morning. But currently we're getting into WWII, the invasion of France, and Britain's role in everything, all told from Orwell's perspective. I've found it quite interesting, and wanted to pass on the link so others could enjoy as well.

These boots were made for walking

and that's just what they'll do.

Except, of course,
when someone prefers to roll around on the floor in them.

Twinkle, twinkle, little star

Sometimes, we have cereal in the morning.

And sometimes, we drink the milk at the bottom.

exhaustion

This was taken over the weekend. It's an incredibly grainy photo, but I love it. She just totally collapsed for nap time.
And she's so amazingly big in the travel crib now.

those mosquitos can't stop us

Thanks to our host Quinn, our rodeo group was able to meet up this weekend for a cook-out and some pool time for the young ones. I love getting this group together, watching all of the kids. It's amazing how similar and different they can be within the exact same moment.

And a shot of the Z-bird in action, for the relatives.

do-nuts

In celebration of National Doughnut Day, we visited Ken's Donuts. I had a chocolate cake with chocolate frosting, while Zoe had a white cake with sugar. While she seemed to enjoy the outing, she only ate half of her doughnut.

What a shame, someone else had to finish the rest...
