Blakeley Elise

I have wanted a children’s play table for so long, and I cannot imagine a better one than this, created from the drafting table at which both Steve and I spent many hours. A beautiful and sustainable gift. Thank you, Steve.

The photograph of the mare in front of the barn is to record the creativity of your daughter. I noticed Blakeley had articulated one of the rear legs at an odd angle and asked if the mare had injured her leg and needed to visit the veterinarian?. She informed me “The mare is doing an arabesque.” Then, she performed an arabesque, horse in hand.

Steve constructed a play table out of our old drafting table


Blakeley said the mare is doing an arabesque

Snug as a Bug

"Take my picture", was the request. Though she does not comprehend
stop-action posing, she is an excellent director.
Even 'Horsie' was in motion.
Gigi to Blakeley, "Will you place your boots next to mine?"

Happy 1st Birthday Baby Woods!

Precious, happy and healthy baby!
Why yes, I would like a large transportation bag for my birthday!
Woods is 1 year old today!

Popper was Woods' vehicle of choice today; he crawled and pushed it with the handle.
