zoo.

The quickest of updates.

Baby Cousin is growing too quickly.

Actually every child is growing too quickly.


Grandma and Grandpa and Auntie Emily get to live with us for a while. What a blessing!

So we have our Molly dog and Mason cat. Plus their Gus dog and Fitz cat.

Teenage, youngest-sister Emily gets to share the upstairs bedroom with four children. She's doing fabulously well with it.

Do you know that twice the dogs means twice the poop?

Fun times are rolling on! With family...

And with friends (Sugei, my brother's lovely girlfriend is on the left)...

I've done so many family and senior photograph sessions in the last few weeks that I think my camera needs to go to Hawaii for a break. Although, no. That wouldn't be a break for a camera, would it?

Maybe I'm projecting here. Given my online school, cub scout calling, elementary school volunteer work, and photo shoots, I'm ready to take off for a while.

Survivalist parties. Followed by Dungeons and Dragons.

And more mood assessment and counseling for our wild child (who recently acquired a wild, furry, mini-friend to add a little spice to the household). Meet Ossi's new kitten, Tyler.

So, we're pretty much a zoo in every meaning of the word.
