Happy Birthday Jane Portraits

Here are a few of the shots that I took of Jane at the beach. She didn't want to do a photo shoot; she wanted to ride the waves! Plus, she's having a problem producing sweet smiles on demand (see 2nd day of school post below). I think she is beautiful. I can't believe that she is THREE YEARS OLD!! Where the heck does time go?

Sweet Bedtime

Tonight at bedtime Jane was trying every trick in her book to stay up later. Finally as I inched towards the door she says to me:
"Mom, did you know Monkey's swing?"
"Yes, Jane, I did", I replied.
"Did you know that sometimes animals stomp?" she says.
"Yea! sometimes they do!" I say.
"Did you know that birds flap their wings?" she says while flapping her arms.
"Yea, I did. You're right" I said.

With that I blew her a kiss, said I love you and closed the door. I love the sweet taste of motherhood. Seeing the world through my children's' eye's for the very first time is wonderful.

2nd Day of School

Here are some pictures from sweet baby Jane's second day of pre-school. We didn't get our camera in time to get first day of school pictures.

Sweet Baby Jane: so excited to go to school. She's got cute clothes, her hair has been done and she of course has her back pack!
She can hardly contain her enthusiam.

In fact, we're all so excited we can't stop smiling!

I asked for a "sweet smile" and this was all she could produce. We're working on it...

Once Jane gets to school she has to open her window so everyone knows who is at school for the day. Here is Jane opening her window!

I found out later that Jane actually used the potty at school this day. I was so proud! If I could only get her to actually use the potty at home as well!

It's my life!

Well, folks, I'm back. It's been a while I know but I felt less than motivated to post without pictures. As you can see I have a NEW camera and lots of shiny new pictures to print. (Halleluja!) Sawyer is feeling a little under the weather so we weren't surprised when he fell asleep in the car. He's hardly sleeping right now because his little nose stops up anytime he is laying down.

Look at my sweet baby Jane.

Jane at her finest.

My first attempt at creative photography...I've got a lot of work and studying to do!

My favorite part of the day. Look at that handsome smile and those strong hands (rubbing my feet, no less).

Jake makes the funniest faces while talking on the phone.

Example 1. (He won't let me post the other examples)

Be sure to look out for a going to school post with pictures as well as just fun learning how to use our camera pictures.

Ciao!
