The other morning when I went in to get Charlie in the morning, she had worked her whole arm out of her pajamas. The zipper was completely done up still, but she managed to get that arm out!
Max has taken to squinting his eyes when I get the camera out because he doesn't like the flash. I must have taken him by surprise because this is a great smile! Doesn't he look like such a big boy?!?
I am a bread maker. Just for the family and perhaps to take over to someone else's house for dinner, but primarily just for our enjoyment. When I heard about a bread making demonstration of how to make crusty artisan bread put on by King Arthur Flour, I got very excited! My friend, Brian, also enjoys making bread for his family so I asked him to attend the demo with me. It was really informative and well done. So, with new recipes, knowledge of techniques, and some rye flour, tonight I will attempt to make my very first ever Poolish (pronounced poo-leesh') and tomorrow will go for some round artisan loaves of rye bread. Updates to follow.
This morning Charlie and I went to the pediatrician's office for her 18 month checkup. She had to get 3 immunization shots, but took them like a champ and cried less than a minute. As soon as I offered her a cracker she was all over the sadness. What a toughie!
I recently finished this cute dress for Charlie and decided I should take some pictures of it for my new website. Charlie really wasn't in the mood to smile at the camera or stop moving while standing. Sitting in the chair for 5 seconds was the only time she was still without coercion!
Then after I took the dress off of her she climbed up on the stool to look out the window at the boys in the back yard. Look at those cute legs! ;)
Charlie loves getting a good view of whatever we are doing, especially if it has to do with food. She always keeps a very firm grip on the shoulder.
Max has figured out that if an ottoman is next to the baby gate, he can use it to climb over and back to get upstairs by himself. Sometimes, his pants get caught on the gate and of course we leave him until we can get the camera in there for a good shot!
We bid a fond farewell to our Matrix on Sunday.
It's a little difficult to see, but Dada asked me to put the speaker cable through the tube in the stand up to the speaker and reattach it to the speaker itself. I was done and about to take them in to show Dada when I noticed that I had put each end of the same cable into the speakers and left the other cable laying there on the floor! Some help. Luckily, it was easily fixed (yes, I fixed my own mistake!)
There is no art on the walls yet, but it is usable and the kids seem to really enjoy it. Now we have an extra room for 'living space' in our small home!
Yesterday, Dada got Charlie dressed and found an old belt of Max's to try on her. Isn't this the most adorable look ever?!?
The hat is one of Dada's - it is meant to be fairly snug on the head. I looks a little like a beret on her, no?
Dada is helping Max get into costume.
Introducing, The Man With The Yellow Hat!
Here is The Man in Yellow and Georgina. We had a difficult time getting her to stand still for a picture.
Dada's assistance was required to get little Georgina to stand by her brother!
I would be remiss in my duties if I did not include a shot of Dada's latest design project. I think he could really go places with his specially designed 2x4 furniture, don't you?
Boo!
