I know this looks like she is a child golf prodigy, but it’s actually the ash tool for the Big Green Egg.  She’s a chimney sweep prodigy.  Get it right!

We’ve been working on our name.  She now latches onto one or the other of her names.  Sometimes it’s “June!” — as she says really quickly with little fishy lips.  Sometimes it’s “Selah!” and no June.  Give us a week.  She’s sure to be telling strangers on the street her name in multiple languages.

This is my attempt to cover up a dead patch of grass left by a stack of concrete pavers originally purchased for our makeshift fire pit.  They didn’t move from the back patio after Chris built the stone fire pit.  Now that we regularly have to have the house “show ready,” that stack of pavers and its underlying wasteland just won’t do. Selah June loves the flowers, but they need SO MUCH WATER!!!!!

We spent Sunday afternoon outside using our “colors” to draw all over the back patio.  We drew the sun and rain clouds, owls and birds and cats and dogs.  We wrote 1, 2, 3 and spelled out our names.  We drew plants, mushrooms and flowers and leaves.  It was great fun and led to us wanting to color on the brick wall and the white door and the furniture.

She decided she needed to lay down on the neon owl I had just drawn on the concrete patio. The result was some kind of tribal war paint.  She’s ready for the hunt.
