Well, it’s a long way from Star, Mississippi
To the big stage I’m singing on tonight
And sometimes the butterflies still get me
When I’m in the spotlight Continue reading
mommy’s turn
I warn you readers… this may be a “mini-mini” book. But, I need fair bragging time about my children, too, and Emma deserves a big bit of those “bragging rights”.
the many faces of henry
“Mommy, sometimes I’m lazy and selfish.”
It’s amazing the things that come out of a child’s mouth. We’ve been tring to teach Emma about sharing lately. “Now, don’t be selfish, Emma. Share the toy with Henry.”
one fine day
What a day!
Yes, we all felt the earthquake, although it was only Mommy and Daddy who realized that something was up. (Our second one this week!) I was changing Henry’s diaper at the time and putting one in the diaper genie when I heard a loud noise and saw the window shades moving.
as emma sees it
Being a two-camera family comes with its share of problems. Marla is now “competing” with me as the most shutter-happy of the household. Her camera is always nearby, whether it’s when playing in the house or out and about with Emma and Henry.
did you miss me?
Did you miss me? C’mon now… I know what you really missed were the pictures of our two gorgeous children.
Henry’s starting to get much more control over his arms, neck and legs. You can see him just kind of staring at the toys around the ExerSaucer in this set but he’s now reaching out and eating everything in site. “Droolbug” is his new nickname. Can teeth be far away?
emma sings, henry smiles
It’s a two for Tuesday! (Yeah, I know it is Monday.)
I’m just about to run out the door and head to E3, the giaganto trade show held each year in Los Angeles where all of the various game publishers show of their upcoming wares. I’ll be stuck in LA all week long suffering from sensory overload.
emma grace at 3
Emma grace celebrated her 3rd birthday this past weekend with a big group of her friends and special guests Grandma and Grandpa Mandel. All told we had about a dozen people over for dinner and cake.
our big shrimp
Our sweet Henry Owen passed the four month mark last week and had his check-up with Dr. Dyer on Monday.
We’re happy to say that Henry is doing fine and proud to report that he’s now broken out of the bottom 5th on the weight chart and catapulted up to the bottom 15th percentile! He weighed in at a whopping 13 pounds 3 ounces.
april play, april flowers
No theme in this week’s set of pictures, sorry. Just a big collection of shots from the 2nd week of April.
Henry was smiling even bigger that week and Emma was darling in her new outfits after a trip to Old Navy to buy some 3T clothes.
