Clamming!

Eric and I went to go visit his parents. They live on the coast of Washington, prime clamming territory
It was a very early, and very cold experience. Think ice on the sand.
This is Eric with his mom, waiting for Jim to get back with the shovels
There was talk that maybe he pretended to forget the shovels so he could sneak away and get his clams before we did, but no... he came back, once we were thoroughly frozen of course
Now, time to get into the ocean. weeeee
Those clams are stubborn little buggers
Rin fretted at the edge of the water, but wouldn't come into the waves
we froze, but we made it!
Yummy clams!

Big news!

I bought a house! Crazy isn't it?
It is tiny and cute. Here is my new living room.
The side entrance to the kitchen
My new claw foot tub! I need to fix the pain in there though, ugh. I'm struggling with color though. It sort of looks like with the tile accents that red or rose works best. I won't have a pink bathroom (!) so it might have to be red. But that sort of seems overwhelming. Oh well, save that paint job for last.
The back yard has potential. All in all, it is a very cute place. I got the keys this afternoon (though these are actually pics from when I got the inspection, lazy me). I am slowly moving stuff over, one carload at a time. I am going to start painting tomorrow, the kitchen first. Weeeeeee

My girls

I got to hang out with my girls last weekend. Finally, I remembered to take some pictures of them. They are growing up!
Lexie is a very fun baby and let me hold her lots. Even though Ive been bad and haven't visited for ages
Bella was a bit shy at first. I think she was mad at me for not visiting her. But she warmed up and we had fun.
Lexie Lou
John and Bella having fun
It is very hard to get a picture of Bella because she would much rather be the one taking the photo
Rin tolerates the girls, but it sure tries his patience
