Bite Mark

This is what happens when you mess with George. We're working on it.

Little Miss Olive

I took these just after picking my niece, Olive, and my sister, Taryn, from the airport last Saturday. I dropped them off at the airport this morning. We are sad to see them go but had a great time while they were here. On the agenda was a trip to Disneyland, time at the beach, and lots of playing with magna-tiles. No doubt these three will be whooping it up together again this summer. Much love, you two!

The Legend of Cash

This cutie cut his first tooth this past Friday. And his thighs are really meaty. He's my legend.

Cash at almost Eight Months

With Cashie's 8-month mark right around the corner, I felt the urge to share him a little, so I pulled out the camera. He's kinda sitting up by himself (brief periods of time), says "ma-ma-mmmm-ma-ma", which I choose to believe is Mama, and still adores Papa, George, James, and others close in his life. And he's got a REALLY small nose surrounded by a lot of hair, so that's cute too. 

Also, a photographer friend of mine, Lauren Pressey, came over this past week to capture my sweet prince and me. Her work is beautiful (she also took our photos when I was pregnant with George), and I am so thankful to have these images; I treasure them so. You can see them here: Mama and Cash.

James in the Neighborhood

No, this isn't our house. In fact, this is a empty house around the corner from us. The other fact is that it used to be a crackhouse of some sort back in the day. Many years have passed and now it sits sold but abandoned. The place gets some beautiful light around it, and I was meaning to take the boys over there for a few weeks. I heard that the property was going to be torn down and built up, so I took my chance. The back yard is particularly enticing near the end of the day but I became too much of a scaredy-cat to toss my kids over and climb the fence. 

So, the final fact is, I will happily place my children in front of a former drug house if the light is right. Oh, and that James desperately needed a haircut (which he has since gotten).
