12 months of Juniper


One Junie year in pictures

Well, I thought this would be . . . more impressive somehow. She stayed kind of tiny, didn't she?  There was some hair growth, though, and it's fun for me to see all these pictures in succession.  After this I'll post another series too.

Annular Igloo

We did get to see some of the annular eclipse (or igloo, as Malachi called it once).  The eclipse-viewing glasses were great---much better than looking at a fuzzy crescent-shaped pinhole shadow.  Unfortunately, the sky got cloudy so we didn't see the totality (or, as total as it would have gotten here).  But we still thought the crescent sun was amazing!
Yaay!
Even with a few clouds moving around, you could tell a difference in the light. It was kind of filtered and soft (I don't know if you can tell from these pictures)

Various things

Here are the boys watching one of the fountains at City Creek in Salt Lake. We like the fountains very much. Unfortunately, we have not yet been able to see the retractable awning in action..
Note the fire in this fountain (at the arrows). Amazing!

Daisy in her pink skirt

Junie in her customary post-nap attitude

We played at a park with some pretty tulips
There was much marching and singing going on
Junie got to this tulip before I could stop her. (Daisy can be seen wearing the same dress here)
I just love this picture

Malachi takes his sisters on a ride. Whee!
