Homemade Ice Cream

We spent the weekend poolside. Saturday night we all enjoyed chicken enchiladas together and then my Mom (Gigi to my kiddos) made a chocolate cake with homemade strawberry ice cream - the kind you have to hand crank. It was the best dessert I've ever tasted. Seriously. It was that good.

Good Morning, Buddy

As I was finishing up reading a news article online this morning, Ellie came and asked me, "Where's Buddy (Grant)?" I told her that he was in his crib and we'd go in a few minutes to get him up. She bolted for his bedroom and threw open the door, "Good morning, Buddy. Love you, Buddy."

Camera Shy

Ellie has shown an interest in taking photos recently. She'll walk around the house with my metronome shouting, "Cheese!" Lately, we've given her expired film in disposable cameras. This new development has led to to fall victim to those who reside behind the camera. She no longer wants to pose for me and will literally run away. It is hard to snap a good photo (especially with the big camera) as it is difficult to focus on a moving object.

first bath together (yes, i now know why you're not supposed to use a bumb0 in the bathtub) no babies were harmed while photographing this event.

out of focus, but i love it
