On the edge

Not sure what makes me think you'd like to see my boys bums.   Well, nevertheless, I think there's something so sweet about how they're perched on the pool's edge.   They both have their feet as close to the water as possible.  Sam is focusing on warming his body while Evan is preparing to flop his body.  Seems he is still learning that a jump is not the same as a belly flop.

BCC: Beautiful Chaos Capture

In case you were wondering what the opposite of "we're going to walk the rest of the way like a big boy" is...wonder no more.

If you can't say anything nice...

As the saying goes...If you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all.  


January was a month of no posts. Oh, I started, many times, but for me the post always starts with the images and the story evolves from there.  So what does it mean that I had nothing to show?  Well, as I'm not paying you to be my therapist, I'll just say that although I definitely enjoy small talk.  I guess, not so much, with my photos.


I want to show you (and myself) new things, or maybe the same things in new ways.  I hope this means I'm going through a period of growth.  We'll see.  

Happy Holidays

Almost forgot.  When we went on my 10 minute family pilgrimage to get our Christmas Tree, my husband spotted this.  Is it too late to put these light bouncers on my wish list?

  Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to you and yours from me and mine!  

My 2012 Calendar

Two more sleeps before Christmas and I've finally finished my 2012 calendar.  I usually do a monthly view version, but maybe I'll do a year at a glance too.    

I don't know if I'll post any more this year.  Likely I will, but in case I don't I hope everyone has a wonderful holiday.  I love this time of year when kids are bubbling over with excitement.  I also want to Thank everyone for checking in on my little blog.  It means a lot to me.

Sneak Peek: When Mom is in the picture

I love it when a mom wants to be in the photos.  Don't get me wrong, I have avoided more than my share of photo ops, so I get the inclination to step back.  But when your  babe is this little, really, how could you not be in the picture?  

5 Best Toys of All Time (Geek Dad)

This is the first time that I've posted purely because I love a blog post from another blog.  I often love posts from other blogs, but I especially love this one.  It's truly the 5 Best Toys of All Time.  What are they?


I'll give you a hint...check out this and this or just go and see what Geek Dad has to say on Wired.com.  


Perfect timing as I sit here with 16 days to Christmas and not a single present at the ready.  Better get on it as I definitely don't want to see this again
