Charlotte's fashion show

One of Charlotte's favorite activities seems to be playing "dress up"... like most four year old girls. I remember that lure of the theatrical well from my own childhood... and considering my continued love of costumes I think I still have a fair amount of it lingering. So one Saturday afternoon we started changing some of her costumes and taking "fashion" pictures, and then (joy of joys) pulled out the MAKEUP. Ooooh. That was it. I won't show you the results of what she did to make my face "beautiful", but I did take a picture of her wielding the brush that I am willing to publish.






I will be shocked if this girl doesn't one day go into some form of theatre.

Some Post-Valentine's Day Goodness

So here are a few sweet little images of our sweet little guy... chewing on a red plastic heart... then banging it on the countertop, and finally (not pictured) throwing it on the floor and laughing hysterically. I hope he's not practicing for anything...





And just for giggles, photographic evidence of my attempt at a romantic (or at least humorous) dinner, because what says love better than heart-shaped meat?



Mmmm, heart-shaped buffalo burgers. Original idea courtesy of Grandma Kathy, BTW.

And just in case...

So that (assuming one day soon we get the video link to work and you get to see it) nobody thinks we ONLY feed the poor little dude spinach, here he is happy as a clam in his little clip on chair (thanks Jim and Shannon!)



And here he is enjoying what he USUALLY gets, which is food he really likes!








He looks alot like his Dad, huh? But with a little more drool...

Awwwww

So I attempted to post a video... and will have to try again when tech support comes home.
:)
So instead, I'm back to pictures for now. Simple pictures... much easier for me. Many thanks to tech support (aka Ernie), btw, for making it possible for me to post on here again.

Here is a truly wonderful moment between Charlotte and Asher. Love this photo.

Mom and Dad torturing Asher with spinach

Poor kid, being made to eat spinach for his parents' amusement. So why, exactly, do you think they make stage 2 baby food in "spinach and potato" variety? Exactly how many babies are expected to LIKE it?

my motto

"better late than never", I say...
Good motto for me, as late is an operative word in my life and always has been. Mom told me I was even late being born, but I'm not really sure if that was just to prove a point...
Anyway, I have scores of wonderful photos still from our week in Miami that have yet to b shared, so I thought I'd get a few more out there for your general enjoyment.


First is a picture of Asher and Grandma Kathy by the pool...

Charlotte and Jordin having no fun at all in the pool with Grandpa George....

"The Fam" in Naples, Asher's first day at the beach....

JJ's sweet ride, being tooled around at the Fairchild Gardens....

Charlotte and Jordin celebrating New Years Eve, having been convinced that 8pm is actually Midnight....

JJ in the pool with his Dad, proving without a doubt that it's good to be the King....

Charlotte with Daddy at his birthday dinner....

Charlotte and Jordin lamenting Charlotte's imminent departure....

And finally, Asher's improvised "baby boat", constructed from his stroller hood, which allowed him to (thankfully) sleep uninterrupted nearly the whole plane ride home.

So much cuteness, so little time

Wow, asher is taking a mega-nap today, so I thought I'd try to get a new post up and running....

And lo and behold, as I type, he wakes...

Sigh.

Here are a few new pics tho, quick quick.... Charlotte and Jordin at the Fairchild gardens in Florida, and a photo clip taken from video awhile back, of Asher playing with his teddy.
