The age of hairstyles

Susanna now has enough hair that I can now "do" it. I see little girls with a lot less hair than Susanna who have cute hairdos all the time, so I may be a bit delayed at this (I never claimed to be good at doing girls' hair-- including my own). But either way, it's fun. So to celebrate (and to keep all of you who never see her in the loop), I am showing you the various hairstyles that we chose from these days.



The "up-down" (or at least that's what I remember hearing it called sometime in my youth)





A variation of the up-down (this one if off to the side).





Pig-tails!

Cycling Country

So it turns out that Seattle is a great place for cycling! We have been riding our bikes since we moved here, but it wasn't until this Summer, motivated by the forthcoming STP, that we discovered the many beautiful areas to ride in Western Washington. This photograph (which I copied from "Robin's Blog" at http://robinwall.com/?p=24), is of a fairly typical view from Carnation Farm Road, a road we cycled on last Saturday, perhaps our most beautiful ride to date. But I think the best part of training is that it has gotten us outside without Susanna. And our Saturday rides, which are four to six hours spent rambling around Western Washington together, are just sublime.
