BadWeek, GoodWeekend.

Boy howdy, last week was bad.
Violet was sick All. Week. Long.  

.... and so was I.     

We haven't seen sickness like this since our India trip, with every towel, sheet, shirt, blanket, pair of pants and pajamas we own enduring multiple vomit and toddler poop explosions.  Poor G-Raffe got it in the face a few times; but he's a good sport, and Violet made it up to him by throwing him a birthday party.  Also, giving him a bath was possibly one of the single most exciting events for my child in the span of her 2 years on this planet, so I guess the week did have its ups, as well as downs.      

Oh, I almost forgot--  to add a little fuss to furry, or insult to injury (or whatever that saying is), our washing machine was broken much of last week... what a party that was!  

But, that was last week, and now we seem to be better.  We even made it up to Mt. Baker over the weekend for a little camping trip with my family!  Somehow we managed to stumble upon 2 days of summer sun within this rainy July, and it was a gorgeous trip, complete with a tromp through the snow.  Violet got to roast her first marshmallow,

"I ate a marshmallow, Mama!  And I didn't like it!"  Photos....

I have a beautiful family.

There's no snow like July snow!

Snowy snowy snow snow

A beautiful drive!
