Professional Photos & Happy Mother's Day!

The lovely Rhiannon Trask of Lollipop Photography is taking pictures for us this year. These are James's six-month pictures, and I thought I'd save them for Mother's Day gifts. (Grandma Doris & Lana & Darri -- I'll send yours down with Mom next weekend. If  you want any in a bigger size, just let me know. Everyone else -- I'm mailing them out tomorrow!)

Playing at School

Amelie likes to stay at school and play when I go to pick her up at noon. I'm pretty sure she'd just starve to death if her other option was to keep playing all afternoon. I took these photos once we were the only ones left on the playground. (I wear James in the Ergo carrier and he sleeps, or if he's already asleep, I carry the carseat and put it in the shade -- then I have to stand guard so none of the other preschoolers poke him.)

Thank you to Grandma Mary for the SMILE shirt :)

(Second) Cousins!

 At first, they wanted to sit on different porch swings. We convinced them to sit on the same one.

I think these kids must get their picture made too often -- they don't care about looking at the camera one bit.

Wait -- something got Marlee May's attention.

 And she's off! Done with that!
