sweet baby anne



I was looking through some old pictures today and found these of Annie----I couldn't resist posting them. She was so small and sweet and I love how the green blanket has been with her since day one.


What I hope I remember about this day: every time Annie stood up in the pool, she yelled "TA DA!" very, very loudly.

sleepyhead



Erin requires a bit more sleep than the average bear.....and for the most part, this is not a restful household!

6

our sweet smiley drooly squeally six month old! bundle of love.
crazy, how time flies, isn't it?

dream a little dream

This morning, she told me that she had a dream last night about cinnamon rolls with cherries on top. She also dreamt about hot dogs that were way too hot (that was a nightmare in Kate's book) and alligators....but I had already heard about those, around 2 AM. Anyway, when she asked for the breakfast that she had dreamt about, I told her I thought that sounded pretty silly.....and she said "But Mama! Don't you want to make my dreams come true?!"

Well, who am I to say no to that?!

(adored)

nine sweet days of vacation.....piggy-back rides and swimming in the pool, walks to the park and chocolate chip pancakes for breakfast. soccer and swings and under-puppies. elephants and giraffes, merry-go-round rides and the train....goats to hug and a camel to pet. bedtime stories and rock-a-bye babies and kisses and hugs and tickles. a weekend to look forward to and on sunday, a day to celebrate.

lucky him?

nope.
lucky us.

Tess's second attempt at eating solids went better than the first. She actually might have a spoonful or two in her tummy!


some days it's hard to get motivated!
