Back to the Business of Blogging with Photos

Meaning the digital camera is home.
Baby C chewing his thumb and busting out of his pj's, two things he does well and often.

getting dressed

As Mimi got dressed:"Big girls get their shirts on AND they shake their hips"

And in Baby C's continuing campaign to be the favorite child, he falls asleep in the swing, in his crib, when it's nighttime, in the car, while cuddling, etc. Ahhh...

I can't have it all

I can't: keep Baby happy, keep Mimi away from my dark chocolate M&M's, play Tetris, AND post my Monday morning blog post. I just can't... but I'll try again tomorrow, I've got some doozies!

Car Shopping

Indiana, upon seeing this sign:
"Is that like a store that's a superhero and saves cars?"

Me:"You are one smart cookie!"
Mimi:"I'm not a cookie! I'm a genius!"

What I ignored during yoga taday

The messy house
The phone ringing
Baby C crying--just for one minute
Mimi: "I'm tired of yoga"

Poll results

Good Job! Most people got it right!

Here's our Baby C (still haven't thought of a good nick-name) at 3 months just a few short weeks ago. He's stingy with the smiles, so feel lucky if he flashes one at ya:)
Mimi at 3 months, back in '06, holding her head up like a champ!

And here is Indiana at 3 months in 2003, a liberal smiler, although, not so much in this picture.

Blogging Slump

There is something to be said about film cameras, I love the wait and the rediscovery that happens with film development. Delayed gratification creates patience, self-control, and character. But it is sad not having a camera to take instant pictures with. In the recent past there have been times that I have seen something cool going on with the kiddos, taken a picture, and then immediately blogged about it--much to the delight of grandparents. Not possible with celluloid cameras.

I just called the camera store and they had to send the camera to the manufacturer. It may be some time before we have regular blog posts again with pictures included.

getting healthy

There's lots of reasons to do get healthy, some are more motivating then others, like say my sister's wedding coming up!

Dried blueberries

Fresh blueberries

Did you know how crazy good blueberries are for you? I find out new reasons all the time. Mostly we eat dried ones, but I got some fresh ones last week and served them to Indiana. His response?:"I like the wrinkly ones"

Who Moved the Dirt?!

That's what my sister Jill said when she was a child and my parents had moved the swing set. Mimi said "MUD!" and promptly put on her rain boots, got her umbrella and started dancing.

Show and Tell

For show and tell this week Indiana's class brought in their favorite game--Indiana's choice was (of course) Chess.

3 months...

Baby A

Baby B

Baby C

Can you tell who is who? Take the poll! No fair using the furniture, or rugs as hints! And just because a baby is wearing blue does NOT matter. Mimi wore lots of blue as a baby:)

I really have to come up with a better nick-name then C...

manners

Mimi:"Dad, I got you a hot dog bun"
Greg:"thank you"
Mimi:"I'm so nice"
__________

Mimi, speaking to the pancakes:"You're my best, favorite recipes."
__________

Mimi, on a warm day and looking to our still leaf-less tree for some shade and relief:"the shade is broken!"
