Fancy...


Lazy Sunday

I was feeling the urge to exercise some photographic energy this weekend so on my way up to give Declan a mid-day bath on this lazy Sunday, I grabbed my camera bag.  He carried on with his usual splishing and splashing and I captured some cuteness.  I have been thinking that the perfect wall art in the kids bathroom would be some bath time photos of them so maybe a few of these will make the cut for a photo collage.

All smiles right from the start




Love those little pearly whites

Looong baby lashes


And because I was feeling particularly artsy, some B&W conversions...





love this one!

Easter Weekend

We spent Easter weekend with G&G, M&J, and Mike.  The weather was beautiful so we had lots of playtime outside.  We enjoyed a delicious Easter dinner on Saturday, and the kids had fun Easter morning with their eggs and goodies.  We were on the road to head home after lunch.  Everyone had a great weekend.

When Babies Attack, vol 7

Teagan didn't like the lamb face on side above the bow, so she took it upon herself to move the eyes and nose to the "front" (which made one of the ears a snout).

Easter Morning:

Easter Bunny visit


I know what you're thinking.  You're thinking - "oh, what a lovely photo of Teagan with the Easter bunny.  She looks so happy and excited".  And she was - she did an egg hunt and then waited her turn to sit with him.  Smiled nice, looked happy.  Enter Declan.  I think it was more that he didn't want whoever was holding him to let him go than being afraid of the (admittedly creepy) bunny.  But regardless of the reason...this kid got put on the bunny's lap and he freaked his freak.  The photo says it all.  The next one I took the bunny was almost dropping him off his lap.  Priceless.

Then we moved on to the cookie decorating station where Teagan again proved she's her mothers daughter by loading up a mile high pile of frosting.  Looks delicious, T.  



March Events

March brought many fun events for our family, including lots of outside time in the nice weather, the St. Patricks day parade, and a birthday party for Teagan's friend.  Since I am finally getting around to uploading photos from my point and shoot camera, here is a summary of the aforementioned events.


Nice weather meant lots of outside time

Just some extra photos from Declan's birthday and birthday party I wanted to share.
