Chock full of aloha!

Yes indeed, everyone is in the spirit of things now. Amoryn is no longer looking at this place as an awful jail, and has (thankfully) reconciled herself with sand, and the relaxed people who have taken the place of her hectic parents.
(Trapped in awful beach side jail. Sunset added for extra torture.)
.
She seems to be expressing he happiness by dancing & by covering her face with stuff. She likes bombing around in a diaper, and today, she helped put sunscreen on herself! With no screaming!
(Sand moustache.)
.
(Nacho cheese eyebrows! Let's hear it for new food! Although Annie, you are totally right.)
.

And she was wandering around on her own, too!
.
How relaxed are the big people? Well. Yesterday was the first day the man got himself a paper, to catch up on the bad news in the world, & I've been positively dormant on the knitting front. I finished Liesl, and have been picking away knitting on the beach, but I'm processing ideas more than anything else, so I knit some mysterious blob for a while, then rip it all out. And it doesn't make me twitch.
(Liesl. Pretty cute; I am pleased, although it needs closures & a good blocking.)
.
Not as cute as this though! (This is a size 6. The size 8 from Canada was a little bit big. ANd much more expensive.)
.
.
I've been thinking a lot today; three years ago, we were having our first dance as a Mr. & Mrs. (I think, the time change + time zones are a little tricky.) If I had any digital pics of us from the wedding, I’d totally post one, but they’re all in my other pants.
.
And man, what a fantastic three years. Three years ago, I had no butterflies; I had no last-minute “What-if’s” or “but-maybes”. I knew, going into marriage with the man, that I had no worries. I had found a solid man, someone to stick with me, and love me, and roll his eyes at most of my awful jokes.
.
He does laugh at the odd one, just to humor me. (Or maybe he’s laughing at me? Doesn’t matter. It’s coming from a place of love.) And best of all, now we have Amoryn to laugh at too! (Come one. She is darn funny. Please see above nacho cheese pics.)
.
And show her things - we're working on a book loving plant person.
Who likes to ham for the camera in the mornings.
.
Happy anniversary, family. It totally rocks. And yes, I know that anniversary days are for the man & I - that's why we're headed out for dinner tonite. I have minimal pics of the two of us though... they all must be in my other pants!
.
Gotta go get ready for my date! Scrape off the sunscreen, & slap on some warpaint!
