iced tea

Kyoko — Sun, 05 Sep 2010 05:26:31 +0000

We are at the farmer’s market. Immi has taken over her daddy’s mango iced tea (it’s mostly melted ice so hopefully there isn’t much caffeine in it). She won’t go anywhere these days without her pink hat.

Or her purse of course (but that’s nothing new!). And she insisted on wearing her rain boots even though it’s sunny out.

Immi is walking around the park after picnic (I didn’t make it, we stopped by the bakery. One of these days, I’ll make basket full of sandwiches and fruit salads and home baked goods…).

Immi offered her hand to Ashland to walk around together. I’ve noticed that they play together a lot more these days. They like to chase each other around or play catch with a ball. Immi is getting somewhat better at sharing too.

flowers and berries

We are at the market in Sauvie Island and Immi is running around in the field of flowers.

Immi is so happy, she can’t stop running!

It’s completely gorgeous out!

And now we are off to berry picking!

We are picking blueberries and blackberries today!

Immi was cranky for no apparent reason other than that Ashland is being cranky due to teething. I notice that they often feed into each others moods (they are both good, or they are both bad). I thought before Ashland was born that we’d never be able to dine out again, but dining out hasn’t been much of a challenge at all with the two of them— they seem to both enjoy it a lot and so they are both well behaved for most part (of course this might change with 3rd one in the mix!). Anyhow, I thought it might cheer immi up if I did something different, so I put her hair up in a pony tail (something I’ve never done). She totally loved it and now very happily sitting in a box.

hawthorne fair

Kyoko — Sun, 15 Aug 2010 23:34:39 +0000

We were invited for coffee and donuts at our friends’ who live in Hawthorne area because there’s a street fair going on there. Immi is absolutely in love with their garden (the backyard has a little gate that leads into the veggie garden).

We stopped in Fat Straw for bubble smoothie to cool off because it’s actually (unusually for Portland this summer) hot out side today! Immi is guzzling up honeydew melon smoothie with tapioca pearls.

Immi seems to be enjoying the festivities (lots of people, live music, free balloons!) and now she is playing in the hula hoop corner.

saturday

Immi got some kettle corn at the market.

Immi is being grumpy for no apparent reason while we put away veggies we just got.

We are shopping at Trader Joe’s for some items we can’t get at the market (i.e. Bananas for Ashland — we can’t get those at the market probably because it doesn’t grow here!). Immi is helping out with the mini shopping cart!
