Thomas has always been attracted to dirt.
If there’s a pile of dirt somewhere he will find it.
And THAT is why I have so much laundry to do every week. I’m sure little girls are not like this.
By the way, he is not in a jungle, it’s our backyard. Sad, but true.

I know it’s a cliche to talk about the weather, and probably not a topic that will win me more readers, but this is seriously ridiculous. They are projecting that it will reach 105 degrees in Portland today. That’s above 40 in metric (i.e. makes more sense) temperature. Tomorrow may reach 104.

What’s this we have here? Hmmm…. birthday cake for the birthday boy.
Let’s not mess around. Let’s dig right in.
What? It’s MY BIRTHDAY!
Hmmmmm…chocolatey goodness.

One big reason that I have begun my little side photography business (apart from the fact that it’s a lot of fun) is so that I can buy more equipment and help feed my habit.
