June 2008

Summer has been busy. I forgot that last summer my teacher friends were all off of work and I suddenly had a lot more playdates and midweek things to do! So we've been busy here playing and reading and learning to ride tricycles. We've had lots of stubbed toes because the girls refuse to keep their shoes on outside and it's maddening following them around all day reminding them to put their shoes back on. When do kids learn to walk without constantly hurting themselves?!?!?

Here are some recent pictures, and at the bottom, a video of our SWEET and CHARMING Ainsley May :)







A personal favorite...





And the video, entitled, "Stupid Mommy."

These boots were made for trippin'

I videotaped Avery singing the other day. Immediately afterward (and after I warned her on the video not to do what she did) she fell off of the pool table and skinned her knees. Here is the result (click to enlarge).



And here's the video... quite the performer with her twang and all. Did Nancy Sinatra have twang?

Just a matter of time!

Interview with a Toddler

Ainsley at 7 months

I took this a while ago, but haven't posted it yet. Ainsley was starting to blow raspberries, but it's tough to convince an infant to perform on cue. It's cute anyway :)

In the wide, wide, wide, wide world

I have been wanting to capture Avery's constant rambling on video for a while, but she won't do it when she knows she's being videotaped. So I set up the video camera to record and left the room. Then I panicked about 45 seconds later because I thought she'd see the camera and inadvertantly break it.

I think the video basically speaks for itself. I'd say we've reached "talks non-stop" status, more or less. Hopefully you can figure out the meaning of the title.

A Day in the Life

This is a little photo project I did for my online moms' group called "A Day in the Life." I took so many pictures that I decided to make a slideshow and just post it here since it's an easy place to put the code for the Google video player.

A Typical Day

A typical day at our house... beware, it's LONG.
