Yesterday I tried to have a friend come over to take Elizabeth’s professional 18 month picture. Tried was the operative word. In my dry run on Sunday (pictured above), she was all smiles. This time, ten minutes before Lauren got here, Tommy spilled water all over her dress. Between the dryer and a hair dryer, we […]

"Book! Book! Book!"
Posted in Elizabeth on Nov 4th, 2010
Elizabeth’s favorite words these days are “MOMMY!” (as loud as possible) and “Book!” (always an exclamation). I’ll be doing preschool with Tommy and hear her calling, “MOMMY–Book! Book!

Tommy’s been looking forward to making a leaf pile for weeks! We finally had enough leaves in the back yard for a small one.
…equals happy Mommy and happy kids, even hours after the fact!

Tommy was so excited to go to the church bonfire today! The weather was perfect for running around outside and roasting hot dogs, apples (stuffed with butter and brown sugar–yum), and marshmallows over the fire. Derek, hard at work on dinner. Elizabeth enjoyed the attention of about five teenage girls who walked with her around […]
