Swiiiiiiiiiiing

I only burned myself three times and the beer was an effective painkiller.

I REJECT YOUR BABY BATHTUB! GIVE ME REAL WATER!

Proud of his gold star from the dentist

Wraps make good blankets when you use the stroller

You brought me to a casino AGAIN?!

School uniforms don’t have sock and shoe requirements

WHY U PUT ME IN THIS CAGE?

NOM TULA NOM NOM

She insisted on the jaunty hat

Screw you candy thermometer, you are USELESS

He’s disappointed none of those things are food

Daddy chat time

Outtake from my attempt at a santa baby picture. I have 30 more like this.

SHUT UP.

Cookie time with Aunt Carolyn

I do not want to talk about what is happening here.

Two fancy ladies at The Nutcracker

Two selfies in a row is ridiculous, but the birthday girl is too cute

A shark playing Pin The Tail On The Mermaid

In the Rainbow My Little Pony game, EVERYONE WINS

No no, no pictures please

My extremely fancy and professional set up for Christmas card photos

I COULD have gone to the grocery store alone, but then who would have said hello to all the lobsters??

The pretty sky makes this house look extra creepy

MOMMY TAKE A PICTURE

Magic garden of the future!! Caroline tried the parsley. Said it tastes like parsley.

Abominable snowman ring pop was an excellent choice

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas

Look Ma, found my foot

Internet, meet my new baby, Laptop, meet the internet.

5 pm teacher conference might as well be the MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT

She made up a song about his feety-feet and sings it all the time

Abandoned gas stations make surprisingly good places to stop on long trips

She’s the Queen of Burgers

“Mom, did we trash the place?” “Yes honey, you trashed the place.”

Teaching Evan about targets… “And that’s why Daddy works on submarines!”

A quick wrap job so I had my hands free…

…for the important stuff.

Why yes you may go outside and play in the freezing cold if you want.

Hello, is it me you’re looking for?

Linc and I went for a freezing cold walk to look at lights. He lasted 2 minutes before he fell asleep – and stayed asleep – for almost 2 hours.

Warm enough for a casual walk to church

What big eyes you have

I pulled over to take a picture of a heron, but it flew away so just IMAGINE a beautiful white heron in this picture

SWEATER PANTS

The first time I got him on my back for any length of time and he REALLY liked it

Sitting in the dark editing newborn photos because that’s when it is quiet

WHY IS THIS BABY IN MY SWING????

I took approximately 65 pictures to get ONE where she was holding still enough to be in focus

Super excited to be “helping” Caroline

Gross, gross, gross weather

Helping with the apple pie

We ate a bunch…

…visited some baby friends…

…and then relaxed in our pie comas.

Instead of Black Friday shopping, I got my roots done. Wise choice.

Gorgeous (COLD) day to chop down a tree

Light Up City Hall

E taught the kids SkipBo. They’re terrible.

SANTAAAAAA!!! I KNOW HIM!

Linc is SO DONE with his stuffy nose. Poor baby.

Linc hung out with me all morning at a newborn session. This is the only picture I took.

ALL THE BATHS for the baby who loves swimming

Sunshine on a rainy day

Shoe shopping

Put a Frozen backdrop in Target = listen to every child ever sing “LET IT GO”

Looking for snow (not yet)

The guys at the post office asked me if Linc was a real baby.

Teething relief for mommy and baby

The baby and the cat have reached a truce

I really love wearing Caroline and she agrees

Couch naps with Baby Jesus

So many leaves, so not raking them

Teething baby wanted cuddles. I wanted to do laundry. We both won.

Two dudes watching TV. FINALLY.

Clearly I need a purple one.

Cuddles

Breaking in my Rainbow Baby wrap

UNIMPRESSED by riding in the cart

I’m pretty sure this photo makes up for all the other ones this week being boring.

I wore my wrap instead of a coat for our walk to church

FINALLY CONNECTICUT HAS YUENGLING THANK YOU

Boys in a bounce house = trouble

Twins

My town is pretty cute sometimes

Much healthy, so good for me

Like a scene from an end of the world movie

And then a some horses showed up and blew Caroline’s mind

Me: Caroline, want to be my model so I can test the light for a picture? Caroline: UGH.

A Still Life Of The Kitchen Of A Woman Who DGAF: Volume 1,000,000

All those stupid power lines are ruining my enjoyment of this beautiful sky. WHO NEEDS ELECTRICITY ANYWAYS?

I put that on his head and then laughed at him.

Start ’em young!

That one is called Invisibility Cloak. Linc says “Am I invisible now?”

That’s Evan, solo back swimming in the deep end. SO BIG.

Caroline likes being worn more than anyone else.

Being a ballerina is exhausting

As of right now my red tree is bare, but last week it was gorgeous

Real life: I bring my baby to photo sessions because he’s exclusively nursing, but sometimes it does not go well. Luckily the photos themselves are still awesome.

OH THANKS HOW TO TRAIN YOUR DRAGON SEQUEL, I WANTED TO CRY MY EYES OUT

Wraps make good blankies after rough days too.
