Cuties in black and white

Erin — Tue, 11 Nov 2008 04:36:53 +0000

I hope you love these pictures of the kiddos as much as I do. I’ve been having fun playing with features on the camera, and I think the results here are pretty cute.

Most of the time he’s happy…

…but sometimes he just needs to throw a fit.

Fussiness!

Congratulations to Rachelle on her pregnancy. We pray it continues to go smoothly and that you are blessed with a healthy baby in a few months!

Today was another fussy day for Nathaniel. What is up with the little guy? I still think he is teething, and he has had a little constipation recently, but whatever is making him fussy does not seem to be letting up with Tylenol and liberal doses of prunes. Hopefully things will be better tomorrow.

Timothy is doing pretty well, though he is having a little trouble adjusting his sleeping/eating schedule to the time change. We’re working through it with the aid of pre-meal snacking, but without much napping. Mommy is a little stressed when neither child is napping well! I hope that both boys are back to their happy selves tomorrow.

The Dentist

Timothy had his first visit to the dentist today. I was a little apprehensive about how to control a squirming toddler, but how could I resist an offer for a free checkup and cleaning?

Things went great. Since we went to a pediatric dentist, there were toys to play with, and Timothy loved it. Once we went back, he didn’t have to sit in the chair, the dentist just had Timothy face me on my lap and lay down on my lap and the dentist’s lap so I could hold Timothy’s arms down. He used a toothbrush and mirror to check out and clean his teeth at the same time, then he applied a little flouride to his teeth and he was all set. Timothy does have a little bit of tissue connecting his upper lip to his upper gums, but the dentist said we could wait and deal with that just before he gets his permanent teeth. It won’t be a big procedure to cut or anything, but at this age he would have to be sedated, and there’s just no reason to rush. He said everything looked good, showed me how to floss his teeth with a pretty cool flossing tool, and even gave me advice on how to get Nathaniel to stop sucking his thumb. It was a very pleasant visit, and Timothy came away from it clutching a toothbrush and a big superball. I’m sure he’ll be happy to go back there in six months!

New Camera!

Our old Sony digital camera had finally gotten to the point where we had to smack it before it would take a picture. After some online shopping, we found our happy new little camera…the Nikon Coolpix S550. We’re having fun with it so far, even though the kiddos are already in bed. Ready for a few pictures? Well, here you go!

Our sweet little sleeping baby

Cute, isn’t he? He does like to pull his blanket up from his legs while sleeping on his side.

Our cute sleeping toddler

Also cute, no? Okay, so his outfit doesn’t match, but pajamas are pajamas in this house. He just loves to sleep in this pose.

I just couldn't get Molly to look at me instead of Patrick!

At least it’s a sharp, clear picture of Molly’s tail end!

The nutdog, in her native state

Ah, the sleepy nutdog. Contrary to what anyone who has ever visited us must think, this is actually how Molly spends most of her time. Well, not so much on the floor as on the furniture, but you get the point.

Patrick, tired after a run around the block

Patrick is going to attend Squadron Officers School next year, so he has to get in shape! He has been running on a treadmill at work when he has time, and running around the block in the evenings when he has busier days at work. This picture was taken after a nighttime jog.

There you have it…a few pictures from our new fancy-shmancy camera. I hope to be able to provide more terrific pictures as soon as I have kiddos that are awake! Goodnight!

Cuteness abounds

There are many more pictures of Nathaniel in today’s post than there are pictures of Timothy. This is mainly the result of how hard it is to get Timothy to hold still!

Another round of cute pictures

Erin — Sat, 20 Sep 2008 18:24:19 +0000

Included in today’s picture upload: Nathaniel eating prunes! Timothy’s first shiner! A trip to the park! A trip to the doctor! Much cuteness!

More pictures of the kiddos

Okay, so it’s been awhile. Here are some photos for everybody!

Aunt Elisa and Uncle Ben visit us!

Erin — Sat, 05 Jul 2008 22:18:25 +0000

We were blessed to have Ben, Elisa, Calliani, and Michael visit us for a few days this week. Here are some of the pictures that Elisa took during our time together. You can check out her blog for a video of me and Calliani singing!

Google Street View…Views Us!

Erin — Mon, 23 Jun 2008 12:26:40 +0000

Patrick’s sister, Ashley, was looking at the Google street views, and we know pretty much exactly when they were taking the picture on her street. It was when we visited just before Christmas! The picture seen here is of Patrick putting Timothy in the rental car. How weird is that?
