Fun With Corryn
We’ve taken lots of pictures of Corryn recently (it really helps that our job requires us to have a camera with us all the time). Here are some that I like…with a little commentary:
Corryn spends lots of her time in the van with us when we are out working in the field. It is lots of fun to have her with us…she is a great conversationalist. I’m sure she gets sick of being in the van all the time. I know her mom and dad do! Here she is removing her shoes immediately after being strapped into the van. This is standard operating procedure.
Speaking of shoes…
This is a rare picture of Corryn after she has fallen asleep while playing. She almost never does this. She usually tells us that it is time for her to take a nap and then has us put her to bed. This is fun because you can see what she likes to play with most. Her bear…a frisbee…and shoes. Corryn loves shoes.
I’m afraid that shoes aren’t Corryn’s only love. She is smitten by Nathan…both figuratively and literally sometimes! Nathan and Corryn can be seen here playing poker on the unused back-up poker table. We didn’t have enough people this month to have a two table tournament so the kids played with the second table setup. Here you can see Corryn eating a poker chip while Nathan prepares to deal the cards.
Back in the van. Corryn likes Cookies.
This last picture brings up a question…why do I like taking pictures of my kid when she is asleep? Maybe because it is so nice to have a quiet moment that I subconciously want to record the moment. Maybe it is because she looks so peaceful when she is in dreamland…even if she does snore like a chainsaw. No…the real reason I like taking pictures of my kid when she is asleep is it is the only time she is finally holding still long enough for me to get a good picture of her.
UPDATE 9:27
I found one more picture I wanted posted. It is another picture of Corryn in the van. She liked to play while we are waiting for mom or dad when they are doing an home appraisal inspection. Her favorite thing is to select a new CD for us to listen to when the van starts up again. She always either choses a disney CD or Nightmare Before Christmas. Even I’m starting to get sick that last one…we’ve listened to it quite a bit lately.
Note the messy hairdo Corryn is sporting. She hates having elastics in her hair. It is always in her face. She doesn’t seem to mind so we let her be…she only gets ticked off when we try to do something with it.
