I'm noticing a pattern.

The other day I vowed to post this picture with the caption "all he does is lay around"


But when I look around, he's not the only one.


In fact, It's a pretty wide-spread trend.


Honestly though - he's been working really hard in every spare moment. So have I. I'm awfully proud of us.

Rain, Rain, Go Away . . . .

It feels like it's been raining for weeks. It's probably only been about 5 days but that's more than enough for me. I'm ready for things to dry out & get back to that summertime feel.

Six

She gave the most direct, deep in the eyes look from a newborn. I remember such a determined tot finding independence. My little lawyer, noting every loophole while bargaining for the best deal. What a mona-lisa smile over amazing memory and an incredible mind. Happy Birthday to my wonderful girl.

A book

A couple of weeks ago the big kids & I made a book of leaf rubbings. It came out beautifully.
Of course, I had to take a photo for the back cover, which of course led me to make a scrapbook page of it....

Living on baby time

Horatio Jack

Wow, already it's over a month since Horatio arrived.
Things have been so busy. I'm sleep deprived & my nipples are still kinda sore but all is wonderful. I can't believe how little down time there is in a day. Or what a mess the house is. Or how much he's grown already. Or how much love there is.

This is

The Due Date.

Some Pictures

These are from the last 2 weeks while spring was here in full force - warm & sunny. Now we have a week of rain ahead. I guess it provides time to play with the pictures.

Making Mud

Science Fun

The countdown to baby is on - 8 days! Of course, it could be a bit longer - but I am hoping that things will get moving here soon. The Drs. have reassured me I won't have to go too far overdue. Time to get a last picture of my belly. Everyone has been telling me how huge I am.
