| On Friday, March 20th we were lucky enough to witness a great solar eclipse. Here's Maya, taking a look outside before the eclipse starts. Maya is excited about the "e-kwipse" because the sun plays peek-a-boo. |
 |
| Here I am in our sunroom watching the eclipse with the pinhole shadowbox Maya and I built. |
 |
| Pictures of the eclipse as it looked through the shadow box. The total eclipse (full darkness) only hit the UK in northern Scotland. In Wigston we got a near-total eclipse, which means that a little crescent of the sun was still visible during the eclipse. |
 |
| Pictures of the eclipse as it looked in the sky. The sun is shrinking! It got very dark. |
 |
| Maya and I were inspired by the shadow box, so we made our own shadows in the sunroom wall. Oh yeah, I just remembered why I don't wear dangling earrings any more. |
Around the House
 |
| It took almost a month for the birds in our back yard to find our new bird feeder. I was so excited to spot a little bird at the feeder one morning that I shot this photo. Proof! |
 |
| My other birdie. Bath time "howl." |
 |
| Maya and Me |
 |
| I was doing a little spring cleaning and I found Maya's temporary tattoos. I put a little star on her leg just like Daddy has. |
 |
| Then we took it one step further and dressed up completely like Daddy. |
 |
| We found her Halloween costume too. Super Maya (sometimes a witch) is still going strong around our house these days. |
