In Lieu of My Pre-Travel Freak-Out…

For those of you who haven’t heard, I am going on a trip. Alone. Without me babies or me husband! And I am fah-reaking out. But I am too tired to blog about my freak-out. So, in lieu of my pre-travel freak-out post, I bring you…cute pictures of my kids!! First up is our first day at the park this spring. It was soo nice last week! Here are some cute shots:

My beautiful girl. She was SO happy to be out running around!

Joshua was pretty pleased himself!

Sophie liked the swing for about a minute, then made it quite clear that she was DONE!

Thursday we went to Portrait Innovations with all my nieces & nephews to get their pictures done together for my mom for Mother’s Day. It was really fun and the kids (all eight of them!) did great! While I was there I decided to get Joshua’s belated 4 year picture done and Sophie’s 18-month photo done one month early. It’s MUCH cheaper that way! 🙂 Here are some of the cute poses:

This is the pose I purchased of Joshua. He looks like such a big guy!

I thought this was sweet of SoSo.

Another cute one of Joshua! It was hard to choose!

My cuties together.

Finally, I leave you with Sophie’s BEST post-nap hair EVER, from Friday…

Is that AWESOME or what???

I’m leaving on a jet plane tomorrow…I’ll keep you posted on my trip, and any freak-outs it may induce!

Yay Capitalism!

We have recently had two problems in our family. The first is that because of these babies
in our front yard, we had a TON of these babies
in our front yard. The second is that this baby
was constantly (and annoyingly) longing for new trains. So, Daddy told this baby
that he’d pay him 5 cents for every one of these babies
that he picked up. Now that it’s finally WARM, yesterday this baby
picked up 200 of these babies
and earned enough money to go to Target and buy these babies

.
Now, that my friend is killing two birds with one ~~baby~~ stone!

He Loves Me, He Loves Me Not

I went to see Emily and Baby Sammy (oh yes, he’s already Sammy!) on Friday and I got to hold the little guy for awhile. He was so precious! Joshua and Sophie were very interested in him, too. Actually, they liked his room most of all. And it is pretty sweet! But Sophie really did want to get her little hands on him. When Em’s dad was holding him, Soph was trying to climb up in his lap to get to Sammy! I had to run interference for the little guy. Here are a couple of pics:

Joshua gives cousin Sam a smooch

Sophie inspects her new ~~toy~~ cousin

And Sammy lets the world know what he thinks of cousin Jenny. I swear, he was totally Zen until I said “I need to get a picture with Sammy.”

I’m not worried. I’m sort of an acquired taste.
