all about em (& one blue man)

a bunch of pics of emma, just bc she's about as cute as it's possible to be. :) that's her eating peaches, playing in her little gym, & rolling around with her squid. i actually bought the stuffed squid for the dudes at a craft show last year, but they never really embraced the wonder of the pink squid. em, however, loves the thing. what can i say, but like mother like daughter!

(& one shot of val, in the process of turning himself blue. yeah, food coloring stains, but they had such a good time. & really , who cares if they're a little blue for a while? in my opinion, turning your hair funny colors is a natural part of life.)

pictures of everyone but me

bc i'm always the photographer. but no one wants to see me anyways!! :)
here are some recent shots of the kiddos & my handsome baby-daddy. my dad made them the wooden duck, which they love but battle over since we only have one. the motorcycles were a 1st birthday gift that they're jsut now growing into, & those are val's first skinned knees-- didn't phase him at all! & the pic of em & N is just bc it's cute.

just because

i haven't posted any pics of the little squiggle in a while. i'm so in love with this girl it's silly. :)

new blog, day 1

just testing to make sure all is working as it should over here.

stupid hackers. sigh. this solves the "going private" problem (i didn't really want to, but some nosey semi-family members were forcing the issue), but i'm still annoyed i had to change anything. hopefully this works out!

just for fun, here are some new kiddo pics! we have con eating blackberries, emma snoozing sweetly, & the guys riding their push car. (yeah, they actually climb on there together of their own accord. they also take turns pushing eachother in it-- it's almost too cute to be real. not that i'm biased or anthing.)
