morning peace



tashi and i are having an excessively lazy day, still in our pj's as noon approaches, enjoying the sun pouring through the windows. we started off our day with oven pancakes and smoothies and have a few ideas for the afternoon: a walk along the creek, a craft project and perhaps some entertainment that just arrived from netflix.



tashi has been writing a book about the weirdimals, a variety of animals that mostly her dad has made up (billy the buffalo, the little red elephant, eric the bear, and many others), though i have added in one isabella dolphin. in the above photo she is obsessively writing on top of her breakfast dish.



she also gave me an early valentine!



above is my sweet childhood bear, wrapped in the new blanket i made for tashi. she has asked me repeatedly what i named the bear, but i can't for the life of me remember. really, i don't think it ever had a name. i didn't make a point of naming all my stuffed animals like she does, and really only remember one name, felos -- which means friend in greek -- the frog. i used to take him to swim meets and he eventually disintegrated from all the chlorine.

not only has she has given my childhood bear a new life, she has named him bruno.
