Today is my sister’s birthday and when we were writing out Emily’s card yesterday, I realized that Mallory might be ready to start trying to write out her name if she was able to copy me.
So tonight I wrote out M’s name and let her try to write it.
Pretend it’s an eye chart…what are your guesses for her letters? Send your answer to me in the comments.

Just Because
Because I left you hanging with no posts all weekend, I give you this picture of my babies.
Mallory was giggling because she was putting grass on Carson’s head.
And Carson was laughing because Mallory was laughing.
ETA: Damn – I just realized that I used this picture in my new header that I debuted late last week. So this isn’t anything new and great for you. Oh well.

Yes, this entry is also way late.
But here I am last week. Thanks to Mallory for taking my picture.
E is for…
I know, I know. I am *WAY* late. But it was a busy weekend and I was anxiously awaiting the arrival of my new computer (can’t you tell – I’m writing this on the new one right now!).
SO – Mallory is all into telling me she needs to run next to the stroller now when we go for walks, because she needs to “etzerthize”.

Six
I tried to come up with a cute way to say “Carson is 6 months”, since, you know, my sweet little boy is 6 months old today, but I’m tired so this is the best I got.
Time seems to have gone so fast these past six months. (click here for Carson’s first blog post with a picture…)
Newborn-hell seems so long ago: when the crying never seemed to stop, when I could NEVER put him down EVER because he’d start crying, when it seemed all he wanted to do was nurse almost all the time and I was crying because I …
Attitude much?
Just to give you a *little* idea of some of the sassiness we are dealing with around here…
OMG – how tall does she look!?
Clickin Kids
I’m part of a little study group of women from the Clickin Moms community (it is an online group for moms who take pictures – you can get feedback on your photos, and get lots of great ideas!). My study group is all about understanding exposure, something I know I need to work on. I’m a little behind in my “studies” because I keep forgetting to read the book and take the pictures, but tonight I finally decided to take the pictures for the first assignment. I had to get my camera’s manual out, too, so I could figure out …
Hay
Sunday morning was a great morning to go take pictures at the pumpkin farm. It wasn’t too sunny, it wasn’t too hot, it wasn’t too cold, and my kids were in good moods. Mallory looks pretty serious in these pictures because she was busy watching all the other kids play.
I took about 180 photos and ended up with about 20 that are decent. I’m still learning my new lens and need to practice with the shallow depth of focus. I’m also supposed to practicing with exposure but I’ve been sort of busy.

So far so good, eh? We are on our way to {hopefully} a nice Christmas vacation!
Quote of the day from Saturday: I was trying to get Mallory ready & out the door so I asked her if she was ready to go watch football.
MCB got all sad and said “but I want to go to the TAILGATE!!”
Grandpa & Carson
Mallory, RB & Carson (Mallory always says that Rick is just Carson’s daddy, not hers. But I assure you Rick is bof of my baby daddy.)
This past weekend was threatening rain and I was so torn about whether to take any or …
