Quick Pics

Must… post… pictures… before children wake up and I slump over in an exhausted, unconscious heap of ponytailed hair and unbrushed teeth…

This was Olivia after waking up from her nap and while watching Veggie Tales.I have no clue why she preferred to watch Veggies like this.
Benjamin will sleep anywhere. Actually, he’s a lot more […]

I Won - Here’s Livi

I was looking through my drafts and found this post dated October 12, 2006. I have no clue what I won or why Noah didn’t help me. I’m sure I was going to explain that last picture and quite possibly add more. Oh well, I can’t now for the same reason I […]

Easter Family Portrait

Olivia wouldn’t take her hand out of her mouth until Josh started playfully smacking it away. She thought that was hilarious; thus the cute grin. Benjamin slept through most of the day, including this picture. Oh, and you can’t tell because I’m sitting down, but those ARE NOT maternity clothes; and the […]

My Genius Little Mute

Background information: She’s 21 months. She has a vocabulary of maybe 10 words.
Actual, true, honest-to-goodness story: Olivia noticed I had gathered all our movies to return to the library. “Ooooh,” she says, as she begins to throw them all to the floor one by one. Great, I think, she’s become […]
