Nora's Pics

Here is another round of Nora's pics.
Hahaaa! Look at Henry's face!
She's all up in his bizness.


He tolerates it.

Vacation Highlight Reel


Nora took this.
And this.
Scott and Mary joined us for the first two days of the week that we were in Michigan.
Swimming!


Nora and I love these foam things.


We did a lot of this together during the week.


She liked it.


Nora took this one! Haha! I love it!


Kids playing in the grass while Daddy grills.


More of that.




Yay!




Nora dragging Henry away from certain doom.


Back onto the blanket.


Nora's crawling?


Willi grillin'.


We won't tell Henry that's a girls' cup.


The lake.




I got them both to look and smile!


Daddy and Nora.


Mommy, Henry, and Nora by the swings.


Mealtime action.


Quite the dining view.




He was trying to escape and get into things at the same time.


Parting view.

Ugh. I miss it already. I missed it when I took that last picture.

Hey, It's Okay Tuesday!

Here is the little spot at the beginning where I give credit to where it is due.

Hey, It's Okay . . .


. . . to pretty much never wear high heels. Sorry, fashionistas. Judge away. I'll be over here being comfortable and having less bruising.

. . . to not understand how it became "hot" for dudes to have chick hairdos. I find that it's just confusing.

"Excuse me, Miss. Oooh. Sorry. You know what? Never mind."

. . . to go through a gamut of emotions while watching a news special that is educating parents on "when not to text" while parenting. For example, "Don't text while reading to your children."

It's like, "Haha! Wait. What? What the crap? Seriously? Oh. This is for real. Oh, sad."

. . . to wait until you're nearly 29 years of age to read Pride and Prejudice, even if you're two kids, work, and life make it nearly impossible to find the time.

. . . to take no small pleasure in watching your kids "play" with your very, very annoyed, yet, surprisingly tolerant cat. Sweet, sweet cat karma. Delicious.

Photos from the 4th . . . Mostly

We were only at the farm for the actual day of the 4th of July,
so photos from the day are limited.







































The following two photos are from this morning.
The kids both went down for an early nap (it wasn't a good sleep night
in the Brown house). Henry was up for a good portion of the night, and
we discovered this morning that Nora spent the night with a crazy,
jazzed cat in her room. She didn't sleep much.





Henry has never passed out in his jumper like that before.
