Day 40

I was comparing different ways of prepping the cookie dough for best results. :) FYI there wasn't much difference.

What do you think?

So a couple of weeks ago I took this picture of James outside, and for whatever reason, he really reminded me of my dad in it.  (And this is really when the whole I must have a scanner right now  thing started.)

So I dug through my stuff and found this:

Anybody else see it? 

It’s okay if you don’t.  :)  But either way, you should click on that little button below that says “comments” and write one.  Comments are my love language, ‘kay?

My Mini Me

A couple of days ago I got a scanner, and I’ve been archiving pictures since then.  I’m a scanamaniac!  My baby book is one of those albums that you lift up the plastic cover of each page and stick the picture in, so removing the pics to scan them removes them permanently.  So for now I just scanned each page of the album and I will eventually dismantle and rebuild the book. 

I loaded some pictures of me in (pardon the dust and cropping and everything) because I really think James, more than his sisters, looks so much like me.

But you can judge for yourself!

What do you think?

Day 39

I usually like to post at the end of the day, but I keep forgetting! Better just post today's picture right now!

Day 38

Matt said last night that these LittlePeople all lined up were worthy of a picture, but I forgot to take it until this morning. So technically the pic is not from yesterday, but the idea is. :)

Day 37

My secretary. :)

Super Bowl Sunday!

I just love the drama in Joanna’s face!

It was a wee bit chilly this morning, especially since we’ve gotten used to weather in the 70’s lately!

Natalie looks sooooo grown up here!

Loving all the expression on Natalie’s face as well!

I think this is my current favorite picture of Natalie.  It speaks to me.  :)

Natalie was my snuggler during the service today:

After church we were home for a little while.  I LOVE watching those girls cuddle up with a book together!

I love Natalie’s feet.  :)  They’re still pretty babyish.

Speaking of which, I have recently become aware that Joanna no longer has baby feet.  She has big ol’ girl feet now.  Sniff sniff…

About 2:00 James was down for a much-needed nap and Matt and the girls headed to Uncle Mark’s house for Superbowl fun and food!

I waited (and caught up on some Hulu!) for James and we walked on over.

This picture is funny because James is a little obsessed with a deer head mounted on the wall at Uncle Mark’s house.  I keep thinking that James is thinking, “Will they do that to me?”  He always looks worried about it.  :)

Uncle Mark let the girls each have a turn sitting on his shoulders on the couch and he’d let them fall to the cushion.  It was cute, but they were done before I got my camera.  Joanna and Natalie recreated it with each other though:

I’m not sure Joanna is quite strong enough though.  :)

I just think this boy is toooooo cute!

So is this girl!

Eating a brat – yum!

Natalie snuggled with Aunt Mindy for awhile, then found a sweet spot and fell asleep!  I knew she was kind of tired and hadn’t had a nap, but I still couldn’t believe she would crash with all that noise around her.

But she did, and it was so cute!  I had to wake her up after 45 minutes or so because it was late, and I wanted her to sleep tonight!

Three years ago on Superbowl Sunday Natalie was barely a month old:

She slept through that game too.  :)  (On the same part of the same couch.)
