Oh, baby!

I looked out the back window a few minutes ago and was treated to this sight:


The baby is tiny, so she can't be very old at all. The photo is not great, because I was trying to sneak out on the deck without scaring them too much. I snapped the photo then crept back inside; as you can see Mommy Deer was keeping a very careful eye on me.

Under the sea

Aidan created this lovely drawing at school this past week. When I asked him about the sea creatures in it, he told me that there are two jellyfish, two octopuses (or is that octopi?), a skate, a king crab and a shark. For those of you who are as ignorant about sea life as I am, the skate is the triangular-shaped rainbow-colored creature.

I particularly like the octopus with the smiley face.
