That would be me. It is taking me forever to get through my photos from Costa Rica.
Below is my rather disappointing photo of the 3 toed mama sloth with baby in Parque Nacional Braulio Carrillo. Disappointing because of the fact that I was shooting with a rather dark lens. And well, the rain forest is rather dark to begin with so my detail is quite lacking.

Griffin will find the way. Previous to his above mission to illuminate the livingroom, I found him with his red toy tub upside down on the dining room chair…so as to better be able to reach the lollipop I put up on top of the fridge for later.
For a few weeks I had been cursing the beautiful step stool we had been given by our friends. It managed to give our children access to a world previously 1 inch less unattainable to them. This toy tub adds 6 inches. All previously safe objects on counter tops and dressers are quivering with fear.
At least my children are independent, problem solvers. Sigh.
Below was him last summer figuring out how to get in and out of our neighbors cat door. I would expect NASA to start recruiting soon. If they need someone to build a tower of household items to reach Mars for exploration, they may have their man. Can’t get much worse than many of their previous missions.
Adjusting to the real world again after my trip to Costa Rica is going to be tough. I had the most lovely 4 days away with the best of accommodations, short excursions, food, coffee and most importantly, the company. I had the chance to travel with my old friend (yes, T, I just called you old) and my newest baby, my 7d. It was almost as difficult packing for my camera as it is packing for a trip with my kids. Both our saintly husbands stayed home with our (non-camera) children.
The little bit of the country we managed to see was spectacular. The people were incredibly welcoming and patient with our Spanish. And it was all just so GREEN. I will likely have tons more photos to share later, but I wanted to post a couple before the day creeps away from me.
Already, I can’t wait to go back.
