day 2: second picture upload

this photo session came from my second trip to pick up my camera in sacramento.  okay, so that's not the only reason i went down.  i had to take advantage of the fact that it would be the onur's last few days in their sacramento home before their big move to d.c. the following week.

of course, as a blue aura, i cried and blubbered like a baby.  jess has seen this time and time again since i was 4.  so, it was no surprise to her that i started hours before i was planning on leaving.  (when i was younger, it would start days before she would depart.)  some of the tear jerkers: fudgesicle bathtime, discussing how we've never lived this close, identifying i have crying issues, reading "5 monkey's jumping on the bed" to the girls before bedtime, giving hugs and kisses for bedtime, hugging my sister and bro-in-law, & driving away for the last time...

(i don't think it needs to be said, but my aura is glowing as i write.  ugh.)

anyways, here are a few quick shots of the day trip:

getting creative juices flowing...

look at that marker fly!  the finished product was a masterpiece full of purple & black -- a. was a fan.

wouldn't be true arts & crafts without some ella pie silly.

at least this time there were no pipecleaners covering the floor. 

better believe esen and i were enjoying the heavenly treats right along side them!

look at that skill!  (i'm talking about the strategic covering of "parts," but go sophia!)

best. invention. ever.


gearing up & picking her book-of-choice.
i realize that the next handful of pictures may not mean squat to some, but i find the next few shots sum-up some of the aspects of the onur's sacramento home.  sure i was there only about 10 times, and i'm sure the onurs wouldn't agree on my chosen items/areas, but i didn't want to look like a crazy person wandering around taking pictures of their home!  if you've ever witnessed a bathtime, stayed overnight, or been the chosen person to sit next to them at dinner, hopefully some of these will ring a bell.










(i love the pillows protecting the girls from danger.  this was also andrew's chosen place for a nap each time.)

suzy q.
love you onurs!  i hope we get the opportunity to live this close to you in the next few decades.  see you soon!
