Leah at 4 months
OK, I know that I blog a lot about Leah. But I was so excited to get her pictures taken and share them with everyone. She is such a cute little muffin and we love her so much.
She still wouldn't quite give up one of her smiles for the photographer. She is a little particular about who she likes. She loves mommy, Yeah me, daddy is OK too, Talmage and Abi are Ok to entertain her for a few minutes and grandmas and grandpa are allright as long as they hold her so that she can look out and see other people. My neighbor Ranay and sister Kalene also seem to have the magic touch with her. But when she's fussy, I'm the one she wants. That makes me happy that she knows and loves me, but sometimes my tired arms wish someone else could hold her.
This one is my favorite because it comes the closest to what she looks like when she is happy. Mom looks a little silly, but it is all about Leah. With Abi and Tal I also had my picture taken with them and I love remembering us like that. I got the idea for a picture of my mom and me when I was a baby.
I was tickling her to make her smile and the photographer snapped this one. Saturday, October 4, 2008
Letterboxing - a treasure hunt
For those of you unaquainted with letterboxing , it is a treasure hunt of sorts where clues to hidden letterboxes are posted online. Then you follow the clues to the letterbox where you "stamp in" to the log book and in turn use the stamp inside the letterbox to stamp your own logbook, a passport of sorts. I read about letterboxing in Family Fun at the library and it sounded like the perfect fit for our family - getting outdoors, a treasure hunt where often you have to use a compass (hooray for husbands who were avid Boy Scouts) , and inexpensive. A quick look on www.letterboxing.org showed several sites in SE Idaho and 5 in Idaho Falls. Abi and Tal were out of school on Friday so we picked Kris up for lunch and went to find our first letterbox. This one was called "Just Across the Bridge" and was a quick and easy find. The logbook was full of stamps from as far away as California and South Carolina. According to the website there are over 22,000 sites in the US. Our first experience was so fun, we will be doing more of this again for sure.
