Photos Not By Me

I would like to redirect your attention over to Wizelight Photography’s blog, where you can see some of the gorgeous photos we had taken as a 40th anniversary gift to my parents. My nieces and nephew are pretty cute!

Does this knock “have professional portraits shot” off my life list? I think it does…but I might keep it on there because maybe it should be a reoccurring event.

8.21.2011 Pete and Jackie

On Saturday Emily and I thought it would be really funny for her to just walk up to Pete and put Jackie in his lap, but our little surprise delivery never made it to fruition. Saturday night Pete did end up the last adult in the room with Jackie when the rest of us raced out to catch the ice cream truck before it left the neighborhood, but she was happily hanging out in her bouncy seat so he really just had to, you know, make sure the house didn’t burn down with her in it.

Sunday, as we were saying goodbye, Emily was determined to get Pete to hold his newest niece…she was nicer than I would have been and she actually asked him if he was ready before handing her over. I would have just put Jackie in his arms and walked away without saying anything, haha!

First Birthday

8.20.2011 Adele Part 22

I took a lot of photos today, but this is probably the most important….happy 1st birthday to my formerly-newest niece, Adele! She didn’t seem quite as excited about her cupcake as she did about the Indian food we had for lunch.

5.14.2011 Adele Bilibo

Jen, Jon, and Adele came to visit this weekend. The cats were very unsure of Adele, but Champ at least spent some time in the doorway watching Adele suspiciously. Barley spent all of the time hiding under our bed/under the sheets on our bed.

Christmas Morning

What’s the blur in the corner? Is it the ghost of Christmas present?! Oh…no, it’s just Claire rushing to get to her stocking!
