While We Were Away...

Things have been hectic in the County, but I thought it would be a good idea to check in before my 2, faithful readers decide to organize a search party. (If you're still out there, thanks for sticking with us!)

In truth, I just couldn't find my camera cord, and since a couple of you have admited that you only read posts with pictures, I just didn't update until I found it.

As a result, today's post is just a montage of random camera dumpings...sorry if it's a little hard to follow...

This first picture made me laugh...Norah was just trying to be sweet (she loves to pose in pictures that paint her in the "good big sister" light....it's seriously funny to watch her change her demeanor when I pull the camera out) E, on the other hand, was not in the mood to pose...

He was, thankfully, a little more cooperative on Father's Day, when I snapped this picture of him "napping" with his sweet daddy.


For those of you who have commented that Norah "always has her hair fixed"...here is proof positive that it certainly doesn't start out that way.

This was just a few minutes after she woke up. Just long enough for her to grab her favorite library book of the week ("Armadillo's Orange"), climb up in a chair, and begin reading it to Eli (ok, so maybe she was just recounting it from memory...either way, I still thought it was super sweet that she was trying to entertain him, unprompted)

Here is a photo of Eli, intently listening to her story. (While perfecting his crawl-rock, of course...he's a multi-tasker, my boy)

He is up to 3 teeth now (2 on bottom, 1 on top that hasn't dropped all the way down yet, but is definitely sharp enough to bite.



Yesterday, she decided she wanted curlers in her hair. Stoked that she actually has enough hair to put in rollers, I was more than happy to oblige. Granted, it took me all of 3 minutes to roll all of her hair, and she only left them in for about 15 minutes, it was still good, clean fun.
