Getting my groove back

So I sort of took a break from taking photos. Less photos than usual that is. I’m having a hard time catching up on my to do list after taking a month off in December. I was just maintaining my house and business duties before, so once I got behind, man it’s been hard to catch up!

Never fear! I’ve taken many photos today and a few on Sunday, and you’re lucky I want to share them with you!!

I shot using my camera’s manual setting. See I’m learning, slowly but surely.

We love 9 a.m. church. Kids come home smiling, eat lunch, and go down for naps!

Lars is not only crawling, he’s pulling himself to standing (we had to lower his crib already), and he loves the yoga downward dog position. Oh yes, and drool or spitting up on my carpet.

Lyla and I had a tea party date. On Tuesday morning I have one hour with just Lyla. Miles is at preschool, Masie is at her music class, and Lars is napping. I love this hour with  my sweet little girl.

Lars has been grumpy. His first teeth are trying so hard to cut through his little gums. He’s such a happy boy, so we know he’s miserable when he gets fussy.

I was trying to position Masie (ha! like anyone can actually “position” this girl) between me and the sun to get a great sunny shot. I like the look but it would have been nice if the pool fence in the background was clean.

I know, this orange is a choking hazard. I was watching him very carefully to get a quick shot. He sure did love the texture on his sore gums.

Miles came home from preschool and insisted I refer to him has Police Officer Miles. He also told me that if I was mean to him, the police would come and put me in jail. He refused to take his gear off for naptime, still had it one when Luke got home from work, wore it through his piano lessons with his grandma, and finally took it off so it “wouldn’t get dirty” at dinner (don’t know why lunch didn’t get it dirty). He is so excited about the field trip his preschool teacher has scheduled for Thursday. So excited he’s having a hard time sleeping tonight, and he still has another day before he gets to go!
