this morning

A little bit of this:

Running in sprinklers with the pjs on.



(Rinse and repeat, every other day. Gad-zooks! I have lots of wet pajamas.)


A little bit of this:

Making my heart flutter.

family

When my family gets together we all revert back to childhood and act like huge dorks. That, among many other reasons, is why I love them.

Here we are in all our natural glory, from oldest to youngest.


A brother was missing this year so we had B stand in for him and I swapped his head. There might have been a little hind end goosing as well.

And through the magic of photo shop you get a bobble head for your sixth brother and a complete family.

No jokes about the t-shirts. Our mom made us do it.

him

(yes, their birthday's are one day apart. ... i need a paper bag to breath into.)


He makes me laugh, that kid.


And he has taught me how to love, unconditinally.



Here's a little something from my heart to yours B. I couldn't have said it better myself.

her

Queen NaNa just got a bit queenier.


Happy birthday your eminence. And by the way, who said you could ask to wear a bra?

About gave me a heart attack.

more

Is there anything more delicous than a soft baby check? I submit no.


The marriage has already been arranged. NieNie will be very happy I'm sure.


The End.

But not really. I'll be back.

home

I'm home with a card full of pictures. This is my dear friend Wendi and her beautiful baby boy. I am always amazed at the moments that my camera finds to freeze. Definetley a new favorite.


So much more to come.

8 years

And we still feel like spring chickens.



To B:
Thank you for wearing a vest even though you didn't want to.
Thanks for letting me name all three of our kids.
And thanks for giving me a little slap every time you walk by. It makes me feel sassy.
