Weekly photo project – 8 weeks

Connor was actually giggling during this photo shoot, it was such a cute sound – but it didn’t translate well to the photos – his eyes were so squinty in the pictures that it looked like he was crying, so this week’s pick is a much more subdued image that truly depicts his calm spirit,…

Crabbie

Crabbie is the name of the new sandbox I got Cailee over the weekend. JJ never wanted a sandbox, he thought it would attract bugs, snakes, the neighbor’s cat and other unwantables, get nasty when it rains, and you know, it probably will – but ever since the trip to the Museum of Science on…

My little monkey

Ever since Cailee saw Dora do the monkey bars – she is obsessed with them – and thinks its great fun – except for the minor detail that she needs a bit of help getting across them. She likes to call out the number of rungs in English and then again in Spanish, repeat. As…

Not my daughter…

It’s ironic that my last post was titled, just like dad, because if I didn’t still recall the intense labor pains I had with Cailee like they were yesterday, after tonight, I would have a hard time believing she was really mine. Here’s why… The past few weeks we have been enjoying the rather loud…
