Maya Catching Butterflies: February 2012
http://mayacatchingbutterflies.blogspot.com/2012_02_01_archive.html
Monday, February 27, 2012. The food was delicious: scones, finger sandwiches, fruit, cupcakes, tea cookies, petits fours, and teas from Queen Mary Tea Room. While the children ate like princesses at the long banquet table, we moms gathered around in the kitchen where we nibbled treats, sipped tea and chatted. Here are a few images from that day:.

Maya Catching Butterflies: April 2012
http://mayacatchingbutterflies.blogspot.com/2012_04_01_archive.html
Tuesday, April 17, 2012. We arrived at our cabin confronted with a steep ladder that led the girls to the sleeping loft where there were two cozy beds and an old steamer trunk for which to store their clothes. At times I felt the ladder was a bit too steep for the rascals. Isn't it interesting how pictures reveal personalities? In the image above you see Alex front and center - Alex is not shy. Then, in the background is my cautious, shy child, Sammy. Links to this post. Tuesday, April 10, 2012. Our fami...

Maya Catching Butterflies: September 2011
http://mayacatchingbutterflies.blogspot.com/2011_09_01_archive.html
Tuesday, September 20, 2011. We're only a few days into the school year and already my children seem more settled. They're in a routine, spending time with friends, doing brain work. I love it. This past weekend Seattle got a sneak peek at autumn. Rain, wind, and a canopy of grayish blue skies encouraged me to rifle through my collection of sweaters and jeans for something just right. Something not too heavy, and not too light. Here are images from that trip:. Links to this post. 3 cups cake flour, sifted.

Maya Catching Butterflies: October 2011
http://mayacatchingbutterflies.blogspot.com/2011_10_01_archive.html
Thursday, October 27, 2011. I remember giggling saying, "That's not a picture. Those are. We are kicking in to high Halloween gear around here. We're loving the spooky decorations and the promise of candy come Halloween night. This past weekend we carved pumpkins using stencils to make images of ghosts and owls. The girls were great, digging inside the pumpkin removing guts and seeds as best they could. In the end, as usual, I swooped in to take out any remaining bits of slime. Links to this post. We arr...

Maya Catching Butterflies: The Gift of Life
http://mayacatchingbutterflies.blogspot.com/2012/12/the-gift-of-life.html
Tuesday, December 18, 2012. The Gift of Life. My daughters mean the world to me. My children, like most children, are incredibly honest. They are unafraid to say what's on their minds. The other day I wore a short skirt, knit sweater, tights and ankle boots. I asked Alex what she thought of my outfit and she said, "Mom, no offense, but. those are really weird looking shoes, and no offense, but I would just change out of the whole thing." Wow, that stung a little. December 19, 2012. December 19, 2012.

Maya Catching Butterflies: December 2011
http://mayacatchingbutterflies.blogspot.com/2011_12_01_archive.html
Thursday, December 22, 2011. Buddy the Elf Christmas. Last night I passed through the seven layers of candy cane forest, through the sea of swirly twirly gum drops, and then I walked through the Lincoln Tunnel to downtown Seattle. The best way to spread Christmas cheer, is singing loud for all to hear. Oh how I love to see the gingerbread houses, "I think you're really beautiful and I feel really warm when I'm around you and my tongue swells up.". Links to this post. Sunday, December 18, 2011.

http://mayacatchingbutterflies.blogspot.com/2012/12/merry-christmas.html
Sunday, December 23, 2012. We are very much living in the spirit of Christmas. We are jolly happy souls sipping vanilla steamers, peppermint mochas, eggnog lattes and overall indulging in all things Christmas-y. We can hardly believe that tomorrow will be Christmas Eve! Merry Christmas, friends! Note: Only a member of this blog may post a comment. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Maya Catching Butterflies: June 2011
http://mayacatchingbutterflies.blogspot.com/2011_06_01_archive.html
Monday, June 27, 2011. Rock and Roll Marathon 2011. You're probably looking at the above picture and wondering what month it is. Well, let me assure you that it is indeed late June, but we're still wearing our coats because even though the calendar says June, it feels like October. Since it was so early, there wasn't much to do so I snapped a few pictures. I nodded to show that I understood, but actually I was confused. I thought the runner ran. Would they deduct that from his time? Then Jon came in look...
