Chillin’

Some Italian taught her about style. 44.

At the coast with cousins

My brother and family visited from Portland. We made a day of it at the Oregon coast. Hugh and Katja on the Oregon coast. Snazzy.

Learning to carry water

Katja has been learning to Cary water. She has ample opportunity as we don’t have running water in our house and we have ample examples on how to do it.

Swimming

The story goes, I was two years old and my dad put me in a life jacket and tossed into the middle of the pool and told me to swim to the edge.

Learning the word ‘boat’

Katja learned about rowboats. We were down on a lake in Florence, Oregon. Her fascination with moving vehicles does not disappoint. Update: she remembers this event many months later!

Strawberry picking

As an anniversary of last year, and the strawberry picking wonderfulness I took Katja back to the Strawberry Fields. This year with the impending departure to Nigeria we picked significantly less fruit.

Wedding trip

Katja is about to cross that magic age where airlines start to charge her full fare. My cousin is getting married and so I’m taking her on a trip! New Jersey here we go!
