A Week In February

12 Feb 2012

I often wonder where the early months of the year go. Ours are low-profile, and mixed with an odd assortment of things. No big parties or trips. Here is last week, roughly: an assortment.      (click on any to enlarge)


The Niners missed the Superbowl by one game. We distracted ourselves with Kiera’s chicken wings (the only wings I’ve ever loved) and Mark’s Superbowl Squares, which kinda sucks these days ’cause I don’t know enough of the players/winners.


Lucy loves Peeky-Boo, and Karen.


Cereal Beautification.


A rare Play-doh moment (I don’t like the way it smells, so I hardly ever bring it out)


Room 103 does Art for the Auction. I read this book to Oscar (over multiple nights) and had warm fuzzy flashbacks.


Opi says, “Kids, sugar is bad for you”…

…Then serves up the ice cream.


The neighbor’s shower curtain art that is driving me crazy, and Lucy sleeping, which I always love.


We make brownies, and decorate Kiera’s cookies for UJ.


Lucy’s first soccer practice, followed by playground time, with her friend Taj.


We babysit Eloise for the first time, so Lachie can take Izzie out for her birthday.

XOXO!

Fakey Smile

16 Jan 2012

Sigh. Do all kids have to learn the fakey smile? Why?

Remember this hat? Flashback!
it’s a hand-me-down from Ava.

While I’m on the subject: This hat is probably the last thing I have of Ava’s that fits Lucy.
We’ve really enjoyed the re-wearing of Ava’s clothes. Oscar has compared photos, and it’s been a great way to feel the connection to his other sister. Hopefully Lucy can see the pics when she’s older and feel it too.

PS. The beautiful red shirt on Lucy is from Kristi.. – Don’t you wish You had such an awesome personal shopper?

Cole and Kiera’s Wedding Slideshow

05 Jan 2012

I am so happy to write this post! Cole and Kiera got married, and only these pictures can tell the story properly – my words would not do the wedding justice! It was Amazing. And this slideshow is the biggest one I’ve ever done! In the words of my best friend Kristi, “More is More!” I just hope people have the bandwidth!

Most of the photos in the show were taken by Katie Osgood, Cole and Kiera’s awesome New York based wedding photographer. We’re so happy to have had her and her assistant Heather. Some photos in this show were taken by Chief (A few the black and whites are his medium format film). One important shot is by Kate Darfler, and one is even by the bride herself! (Any guesses?) Thank you to all our photographers!

Also, I want to thank Jim and Jeanette Gilhooly, for being such unbelievably gracious hosts! They took such care, and were so lovely to host us in their home during such an important week! Jeanette, YOU ride shotgun!
And of course, they threw one heck of a party! (As you will see..)

Slideshow notes: you need Flash, so this won’t work in an iPhone. The run time is about 11 minutes. Also, make sure your volume is up!
