the faces i love

My typical view of Andrew. Mooooommmeeeeeeee!!

Watermelon face I

Watermelon face II

Too hot to eat it that slow, honey.

Really! And now it's dripping of your elbow! (you can enlarge the pic if you don't believe me.)

Talking to Daddy on the phone.

raise your hand if you love grandma suzie!

We really were all there together. This is the only proof. Alison didn't want to stop playing in the fountain long enough to have our picture taken. I think Andrew is munching on goldfish crackers - he's totally content.

I actually managed to get a non-silly picture of Alison.

This is Grandma's laying-down-the-law face. I like it!

Andrew was too squirmy to get a good picture together.

Alison LOOOOOOVED trying on her glasses. Then she would walk around in crooked lines.

Kiss attack!!!

some randomness

At the Snead asparagus farm. Here kitty, kitty.

Nick used to wear this little number. Jan brought it over for Andrew and yup, it fits her.

Isn't this a funky swing? He sure likes his apple, and I love his little chubby legs.

Give me a break, cuteness!

You too!

sunday best

I know I said I was going to post more often - but then Nick wasn't getting the email posts - so I've just been emailing him pictures, which means I've slacked here! Hopefully this will make up for it!

Look! A picture of them together!

don't they look sweet?

I said, "I want to take your picture!" And Andrew sat down and said Cheese!

Check out the mess on her hands and arm. Messy!! But oh so good on a hot day!

Sir Crab-a-lot's dress blues.

strawberry pickin'!

Because a picture is worth a thousand words, I will spare you having to read mine. Enjoy! We did!

first popsicles of the season

In reconsidering, the posts may not be picture heavy (more than normal), but rather posted more frequently!


I think this was Andrew's first popsicle...

How do I hold onto this thing?

Mmmm. good.

Maybe a little cold.

She's an old pro.

picture heavy posts ahead

Just to warn you, now that Nick is gone I'm going to start posting A LOT of pictures. So I won't feel bad if you get bored! If you get this post in your email and there is a video in the post, you have to click on the link to go directly to the blog page to view the video. Just a little FYI.

So here's some pics!

I'm so glad it's nicer out. This was a pre-bedtime play on the deck-time. And actually a shot of them together!

I do love a good profile shot.

Alison put her baby in her sweater so she was carrying her around like she was in a baby bjorn. Clever!

deployment day

I actually got some pictures of them together! They were sitting on Nick's bag at the meeting site for the group that deployed today. More to come, but I thought this sequence was funny.

The digression of smiles:

Some Easter pics

The day I get a cute picture of all of us together will be a miracle indeed! Here are some from the week.

This kid won't sit still for the camera - unless he's on his car.

I can't believe how long her hair has gotten!

Alison and Erica got to spend a lot of time together this week! They had a lot of fun together.

a sweet face, no?

Hey! Who is that?! Oh yes, that's me! I got someone else to man the camera...

Doesn't she match that blue chair well?
