You see what I have to put up with?

Her expression says it all.

Dancin' in the dark...

Almost every night Little L wakes up and starts a babblin'. She laughs and giggles at every silly face you make and word you say. She kicks her chubby little legs and grabs for my hair with her dimpled little baby hands. This is our time... the only time when she gets my full and undivided attention, without the other monsters running amok or attacking her with their particular brand of affection. I treasure these late night tete-a-tetes... I know they will disappear way too soon.

Nightshift

So I am almost finished editing the 4th of July session, but I am going to have to call it a night. My baby is upstairs in our newly painted room waiting to nurse and I am just exhausted. Here she is now, just waking up for her snack, illuminated only by the glow of the television that Mister left on when he fell asleep... See you on the flip side.

sweething - Mamapedia

Like wikipedia for moms!

Mamapedia

Born on the 4th of July....

This precious girl will be one year old this Saturday. She is just the sweetest little thing, a bit of a firecracker no doubt. Her mama is one of the most gorgeous ladies I've ever met... and kind and smart to boot! Their mister is one lucky fellow... Have a great birthday love!

Sunday Confessional....

I steal jelly and coffee creamer packets from Chik-Fil-A because I am always running out at home. They tide me over until I can get to the store.

5 months ago today....

I found out exactly how patient she was going to be.


Sisters


I took this when Little L was only 5 days old. When I found a cute frame in a local kid's shop, I knew exactly which picture belonged in it. The words read:


Sister will you...

make believe

play dress up

let me be the princess

tell me stories in the dark

always be my friend

I hope they always love each other as much as they do right now.
