This is our cute neighbor Laken and Raquel. I guess I need to have a talk with her about entertaining young men in her room. Especially when not wearing pants.



This is Raquel's crazy face that she makes often and then talks in a crazy deep man voice. Here she is excited about the goldfish she was eating (notice her orange teeth)

In our new apartment Raquel can open the screen door and go play outside by herself for short periods of time. She entertains herself by drawing with chalk, playing with her bucket and shovel and finding bugs to play with. She has to ask us before she can pick up any bugs. By the way, beware of grasshoppers - the other day I told her she could pick one up and then she accidently ripped its leg off. She was holding it up to me saying 'please put it on, please put it on' and then began shrieking in pain. The thing had bitten her finger! There was a drop of blood. I never had been close enough to a grasshopper to know they could bite, so consider yourself warned. Although it's possible that they won't bite you if you don't rip their legs off. I'd say it's a fair compromise:)



Taking a nap can be exhausting!


Another warning, this time for the deer. It's bow season, and Dylan and Logan are out there.


Raquel set this up yesterday and I told her to stay there to get a picture.


Today she put these pillows on the ground, laid down and said 'take a picture mommy' - so I did:)
