Impressions

Clementine and Lauchlin have been hard at work on the upcoming issue of Vicksburg Impressions.

and here one can see an attempt to coax Lauchlin into giving her a double byline.

What to look for in this next issue: Old Town Vicksburg (a look at a uniquely American neighborhood), Tara Wildlife, and Rocky Springs!

Lucky Morning

We love to go camping at Rocky Springs.



Our rain fly proved effective although it wasn't quite perfectly applied.


Mmm... Coffee and Bacon


And a double yolk!

Happy Homecoming

Olivia baked brownies for VHS Homecoming and returned with an empty cake carrier. Success!

Pretty, Pretty Princesses...

It was a week for princesses. We went to Oxford and attended Juliana Felker's first birthday party, which was princess-themed.
Here is the little birthday princess with one of her favorite gifts of the day: tissue paper...

We also were able to visit our favorite little Russian princess, Maria, one of the many pint-size princesses in attendance...

The birthday girl was tuckered out by the time the sugar rush from the cake wore off and her princess friends went home. Here she is just before she passed out in Olivia's arms...

Earlier in the week, we both had colds and felt awful. So, we decided to make ourselves feel better by dressing up the cat in...you guessed it, her princess costume...

Surprisingly, she was a pretty good sport...

And, a beautiful princess!

Dammit Janet!

We can all sing along with Olivia in October! She just found out she'll be playing Janet in The Rocky Horror Picture Show...at the late night...double feature... picture show.

First Furcut

Clementine got into something crazy sticky the other day, which resulted in a back full of several clumpy mats. When we tried to wash it out, the situation became only more severe. Achieving this new 'do was a family affair we hope never to repeat:
