He didn't want to leave the park without sitting in the "wock chair" but by then he was getting "so code". Me too. At least our car didn't spin out on the icy road so we could enjoy a warm ride back to the house. Oh wait. Yes it did. We had to leave it there and walk home. Good thing the park is so close. :) 

I was supposed to take family photos for Ben and Kathryn today but Kathryn wasn't feeling up to it, so Joshy and I went to the park instead while Josh and Em were napping. It's been raining for a couple of days so I assumed that it would be fairly mild out and it was - until we got to the field and the wind hit us. Brr. 

Little Miss 

This is straight out of my camera. This leaf was stuck in the block of ice that Josh dumped out of Joshy's outside toy box. His sled got frozen in there too. Figures doesn't it?  

Lonna and Jen taking a breather after hours of cleaning in Jen's new house. This was taken last spring. 

I've been wanting to try a panel for awhile. These are all from my first official family shoot. What do you guys think? 

I had a request to make this bigger, so here you go. 

Joshy says, " Hap Birt-day to Uncoe Marp!" 

Emmy is only ten months old and can already trim her own nails. She's brilliant like that. 

I love this. Something about that look reminds me of Dor. 

From Ear to Ear 

I gave Joshy a trim this morning. A short, ugly trim. Kathryn, I may have to start bringing him over because it is sad. I got halfway through again and he got a hair or two on his neck which caused him to go into itching, squirming hysterics. Oh for a straight jacket! Anyway, I gave him a bath after and he looked so cute with his "tow-woe hoodie", that I had to get out the camera. Remarkably, he was actually still -yes STILL, ladies and gentlemen!  

Doll Face 

Yet another. 

Gotta love lens distortion.

Bed Head 

Morning Munchies 

I gave Emmy a slice of an orange this morning. She made a glorious mess with it. 

Yes, she is beginning to cruise. If I turn my back she makes a beeline for the tub, pulls herself up, and shouts, "IN! IN!".  

Sheep say, "Baaaaa". 

Emmy hones her crawling skills by chasing this ball around every day. 

"Momma! Momma! My pwant's ow-side! Come see! My pwant's ow-side!" I rush to the door thinking that he somehow managed to get his snowpants and pants off and is now running around in a frostbitten fashion. He says, "Wook, Momma! I made diss PWANT!" So you see. 

Jeans? What jeans?

Yumma!
