Posted by julie on Monday, 15 August 2011, 11:42Elena-pants is three today! Happy birthday, sweet girl.
In lieu of words, which take a while, here’s a quick pictorial review of you.
At eight days old, you already displayed your future personality: content.
Two beautiful sisters, one at age 30, one at 1.
Two silly siblings, Sylvan at nearly 5, Elena at 2.
And here are a couple from your birthday party yesterday:
Gutsy girl
When I asked if you wanted to wear the silly birthday hat, you put it right on. I don't think I'll ever have to worry about you being a wallflower.
Please know that, although I don’t have the time to write and record your amazing feats, I appreciate you every day. Your joyful smile makes me smile. You are empathetic, sweet, and fearless.
Happy birthday, Elena!
Wild Wednesday: Can you guess where we were today?
Posted by julie on Wednesday, 3 August 2011, 23:37If you don’t already know where Leslie and I were headed today, can you figure it out?
Avalanche lilies
Mr. Marmot, hoping for a handout
We think this might be a nunatak of sorts
That's the second-biggest mountain we saw today
On the edge
There's the biggest mountain we saw today, five years nearly to the day after I spent the night on it
Thank goodness the wind took this guy in the right direction
The glissade chutes: fun!
Spunky pink partner
Sunny but not hot weather, lots of residual snow for glissading escapades, multiple blooming wildflowers, parasailunatics, fun company, and even a milkshake at Burgerville. Successful Wild Wednesday!
