Painting

Last week the kids did some painting on the back deck. Lest you think they're going through a Goth period, I'll say that they're using the paint from Asher's one-way sign so it's all black and white. Actually Asher and Rachel worked together to make a very beautiful painting that looks almost like storm clouds. I will post it when I get a chance to take a picture.

And here's a picture of Chiara in the skirt Rachel knitted for her. It's quite beautiful and intricate and Chiara's obviously having fun.

Catch-up

The Saturday before Labor day weekend we went camping with the Levines at Buescher State Park. It was a quick but very good outing. Chiara explored while we set up the tent:


A few group shots including Rachel, Chiara, Asher, Jonah, Alissa, and Mitzi:


And Jonah gets something to eat while Asher hides his head.


Saturday we walked into the office to find that Chiara had stolen my Ipod from where it was charging and was attempting to listen to some music:


And Rachel finished knitting Chiara's baby blanket. Can you tell Chiara loves it?
