cold noses
Two cold noses, that are about to get colder. Teens today, -20°F forecasted for tomorrow.
Stay warm.
bedtime story
The bedtime story has a different feel lately… Isabel has decided that reading to herself, or in this case Clarke, is fun (the first chapter was actually aloud, but apparently Clarke wasn’t listening, so she read chapter two to herself 
).
accumulating snow
Welcome words for the northland. Finally some snow to cover the streets of icy grime… and a cute pony tail.
all time fav
Someone asked me recently what my all time favorite photo was… I still think this shot from February, 2009 is it. Isabel reading books with Theo. Simply walked in, saw it and shot it. Nothing staged, just Isabel being Isabel.
Love it
digital cookie
Two of Isabel’s favorite things: designing cookies on an app called “Cookie Doodle”, and candy canes.
backyard bird
Not exactly a family photo, but given this Barred Owl showed up in our backyard for dinner, I thought he could make a guest appearance on the f/2 Sisters.
spooky
Shari, the girls, and Emily, one of Shari’s creative co-workers spent the day crafting this year’s costumes. Not sure if they’ll be a little spooky like the kitties of 2009 or sweet like Longstockings and candy coatings.
bus stop balance
The curb serves as a bus stop balance beam, and as a brief distraction from a chilly morning……..”Daaad, I’m still cold”.
days gone by
A shot from our late August canoe trip looks particularly nice as nighttime temps slide toward the 30° mark.
kool kicks
Love this shot… It’s an old photo (last year) of Isabel and her new kicks. I posted it as I went looking for this photo again… Despite backing up my photos in several places, I somehow deleted (my fault) the original file, and all that remains is a low resolution version I emailed at one point

blue
Isabel mesmerized by the beauty of the Boundary Waters Canoe Area…. or more likely hungry and a little pouty that dinners not ready yet. Either way, I love what the 24mm lens does to otherwise ordinary scenes.
fashion is my kryptonite
We have some wonderful friends who gave us a car load of clothes, which just happen fit miss Grace perfectly. Grace and I sent this as a thank you.

overlook
Not my favorite photo (the lighting seems distracting), but the hike, scramble and bushwhack it took to reach this spot overlooking Vernon lake in the BWCA, was definitely a favorite.
