Christmas Morning!

Make a Smilebox scrapbook

I heart my latest shots of my baby man...

I can't quit playing with these photographs.
They capture many facets of his
CRAZY beautiful personality and I can't help but
stop and STARE in wonder and awe
that God choose me to be his momma.
The size of this gift..simply STUNS me.

Happy Halloween!

From our SPOOKtacular House of Horrors to yours.
Have a safe and fun Halloween!

Faces

I drive Isaac CRAZY when I decide to "play". There's beautiful sunlight shining in my windows, he's not in school today, and that means that mommy gets her camera out to play with shadows and light. How can I resist with a face like this...

Boys & Dogs who LOVE Baseball.

Having to wrest your beloved baseball out of the
mouth of large dog, REPEATEDLY, teaches
you something. Throwing down with an animal
twice your body weight...you learn how to handle
yourself a little bit.

The lecture on the mound...THIS is MY ball.

The catcher deals with interference.

And again...pick up, throw, catch plus
lots of interesting faces and some spit.


You MUST spit. There IS spitting in baseball.


He LOOKS ready. He's ready, RIGHT?

He looks innocent enough BUT don't be fooled.
He's STALKING.


AND he steals it AGAIN.


Are you ready to rumble?


GIMME the ball. DROP IT!


Robey feigns repentance, the boys get that ball and are back at it.


Shaking off his catcher's call and throwing his own stuff.

Catcher's not happy. Pitcher is going it alone.
What will he throw?


And the pitcher brings the blazing HEAT!
YOU'RE OUTTA THERE BATTER! OUCH!


*nOTe* Dear God, when my baby boy is a baseball ROCKSTAR,
please don't let him date Madonna or use steroids. Thanks & Amen.

Wee Willy Winky

A peak inside one of our early mornings,
on a day when Wee Willy Winky stole my sweatshirt.
He's unspeakably rotten.

Isaac and his "twin" sister at the Pumpkin Patch

Who knew Ed Mysogland and Matt Schantz
could produce children with two different women
that would end up looking so MUCH alike.
It's almost funny!
