Lost Time and a New Camera

I purchased a new camera for my business and spent the last two weeks taking hundreds of photos of my children.

They are pretty done with me and my portrait taking.

Oh well, I like it! 

Expect lots more!

The Puppet Show

When Lacey and I were little we used to put on plays at the top of our parents stairs.

It is one of my favorite memories from my childhood.

We forced our Mom and Dad to watch SO MANY dances/plays/poem recitals/etc; that it was only a matter of time before Karma happened.

Lily and Addison put on a puppet show for Paul and I last week!

It was perfect and funny and the girls were so happy to be showing us all their talents and hard work.

Lots of singing, jumping, and spinning!

The talent in this family is abundant!

If not a little off pitch at times.

Bon Apetit

If you've ever been in the kitchen with me when I'm cooking you know that I'm a bit of a control freak.

Three little girls in the kitchen screaming at me about food and demanding to help (see: slowing everything down and burning themselves beyond repair while simultaneously messing up the whole flow having everything fully prepared and ready to serve at the same time) is one of my worst nightmares.

That being said, I kicked everyone out of the kitchen except for Lily Sunday evening and let her make dinner for everyone!

She's been asking for a while and I was finally able to wrap my anxiety about it up long enough to teach her a few things!

She did AMAZING!

So much so that Scarlett, aka The Pickiest Eater on the Face of the Planet, ate her entire meal!

She's pretty stinking proud of herself, as she should be!

She's getting way too big way too quick!
