our month in photos

Time for a monthly update :)
Since it's been so long, why don't we just skip all the writing part
I'm not good at the writing part anyway,
and we'll move on to the pictures.
That's why you're here anyway, right?


Since I've been gone....
It snowed!
I know, that in this photo, there happens to be more grass, than snow.
But Liam looked too cute in his snow suit to resist posting this!


This year, we decided to take some family photos to
send out in a christmas card (ha! Perhaps a January card?)
As with most family photos taken by an amateur,
we had a whole lot of outtakes:



First we thought we'd do one with Jasper:
hmmm... living room a little too small to get my camera back
quite far enough to get Jasper in the photo.
Incidentally however, this is Jasper's most prominent feature- his cone head :)



Then we thought, we'd do one of the two of us:
Yeah, Kyle looks pissed, I left my glasses on,
and oh right, totally not in focus :)



Then Liam just got silly
Notice, how I'm also flipping my hair in this one.
Definitely not going on a card.



This one was saved from outtakes by cutting
Kyle out, sorry Kyle. Liam was done with photos by now,
and was trying to be rescued by his Mommy



Coming soon to a January card near you
Finally! At least we're all semi-smiling (as much as an
almost 2 year old does for photos anyhow) and mostly happy.
Thank god for digital cameras, and the ability to delete!


I did get a couple of others, with Liam being super cute



Please forgive the exposure on this one, I tried to fix it, but it looked worse fiddled with, so I left it be, and it was just too cute not to post.
Liam is incidentally allowed to sit, but not bounce on Jasper.
Jasper doesn't seem to mind either way, but I am a little concerned
Liam may one day be heavier than 22lbs, and actually do some damage!





We also have been to Ohio, although sadly most of those photos
seem to still be on my camera, so will have to wait for a blog post soon.



While in Ohio, it snowed! (A real snow) At least we had
something to show for the 20 degree temps :)



And we got to play with cousin Christopher in the snow too!


wait for me!



My all-boy child is going to make his first debut
as a cross dresser. He first just has to get his shoes adjusted

So, I lied, I am going to type a bit. Liam loves, I mean loves wearing my shoes. I have no idea why. He often has me take shoes off my feet, so that he can put them on his feet instead. He has been known to spend, many, many tens of minutes (which in almost 2 year old world might as well be hours or days) at my closet putting on high heels, boots, flats, clogs, whatever he can reach. It is pretty hilarious. Especially for the fact that he is only very mildly interested in Kyle's shoes, and as you all know, he is 100% b-o-y. Perhaps he will one day be driving his hot-rod/tractor/recycling truck in stilettos :)


Just to reiterate his boy-ness, here is his new, tractor covered bathrobe,
sewed for him by his FarMor


Hopefully, with school out for a few weeks for me, and many adventures to
come in the interim, another blog post will be appearing soon.
In the meantime, Merry Christmas!!
