Some from this week

We are so happy to be getting outside again. The kids are loving the spring weather. Grace and Derek were outside last week and I went to check on them. Derek was standing on the porch and it was raining lightly. He said to me "Turns out, Grace really likes puddles." Grace was down on the sidewalk splashing enthusiastically. Turns out, Grace loves puddles.



She was quick. Splash through one and then straight on to the next.


These are from the bath tonight. Charlotte has got the anti-paparazzi hand move down pat. In case you have trouble reading lips, what she is saying is "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"



She finally consented to have a picture taken of the 'whale'.



I love the little one in the background. When I was pregnant with Charlotte, we used to call her Bun. Sometimes we still call her that. When I was pregnant with Grace, we used to call her Little Bun. Here they are together, just like we used to visualize. Bun and her sidekick, Little Bun. Derek will get the reference for sure.

It's been a whole month

and this is all I could manage to scrounge up of the kids. Not very impressive. They are definitely in a don't-take-my-picture kind of phase. Gee, I hope it doesn't last.

Here is a snap of Grace on Friday. Charlotte brought the hat home from Doodlebugs.

Here is Charlotte a few weeks ago. She agreeed to sit for the picture only because it is really a portrait of Mr. Potato Head.

This is Grace throwing a little fit in the kitchen. When she is upset about something she sort of folds over and lays her head on her hands on the ground. Here she went over to lay her head on the stairs. Probably much more comfortable.

This is Grace from today. Eating strawberries in the kitchen. Graces LOVES strawberries. Grace loves to eat, period.



This is a nice example of the photographer's children that I have. "Is it safe? Is she still taking picures?"
