Mommy's birthday dinner!

Love him so much!

My two beautiful babies!

I had such a happy birthday! We went to Cheesecake Factory for dinner and had a great time! I am such a lucky girl to have such a beautiful, loving family!

A little dose of ridiculousness!

We have an "app" on our computer called Photo Booth. It provides some good giggles and laughs and results in some very silly pictures! Fun times!

Eleanor 9 months!

Bathtime fun!

Look at all those curls!

Such a doll! She was just helping me with the laundry!

I had been trying for-e-ver to capture a picture of this! When she wants to take something from one place to another, she puts it in her mouth like a puppy dog! Whatever work, I suppose!

Wild hair!!

Videos!

 

 Cohen didn't know I was recording him sing-reading Old MacDonald! I love when I get to "watch" them without them really knowing it!

 

Eleanor and Cohen rocking her on her little butterfly rocker! (And a paranoid momma who is convinced she's going to fall off of that silly thing!)

Eleanor waving to her Papa! (Watch her right hand - it's her latest "thing!")

Summer 2014

Having fun at Sea World! Boy, it was hot!

After Cohen's last baseball game of the season! I am so proud of how hard he worked this season and can't wait for the next!

First swim of the season, and Eleanor's first swim ever. She LOVES the water!

Daddy and his babies on Father's Day!

Just a-swingin'!

Sprinkler fun! That is one happy little boy!

Cohen's graduation from Pre-K 3

Cohen's Pre-K 3 class!

Proud sister!

Cohen with his sweet teachers, Ms. Rachel and Ms. Mary!

A side-by-side of Cohen at the beginning of the school year and then, of course, at the end of the year. My, what a difference a year makes! Where did my baby go?

My, oh my! I can't believe that this school year is over. Which means that there's only one more school year before Cohen starts Kindergarten. And oh, boy! I am not ready to have a Kindergartener! He had a wonderful year and truly learned a lot! In fact, at the end of the year, he knew more than some of my Kinders did in December (after an entire semester of learning)! He's such a smart boy and his daddy and I (and sister, too), are so very proud of him!

Eleanor 8 months and counting!

I was spying on her hoping I'd catch her attempting to stand! She caught me taking pictures of her!

Giving it some thought....

...and then going for it! Yay, Eleanor!

Apparently trying to bite brother's toes is worth standing up for!

First time to eat some Cheerios! Yummy!

This girl loves ALL of her brother's toys!

Cowgirl Eleanor! Silly goose!

Not feeling her best a couple weeks ago. Rocking with mommy in the rocking chair makes it all better!

Kicked back in her high chair after lunch!

And then this happened - needless to say, we lowered her crib that afternoon!

I read a list of the top 5 things every little girl needs for her first birthday and this was one of the five: a hanky for her to use on her wedding day!

 

Crazy hair day!

Reading to herself and looking at herself in the mirror at the end of the book!
