another attempt for chris… i love how their personalities shine when i attempt group photos. 🙂
see chris? (he’s the barber in the house) 3 of the 4 need haircuts. bad. come home. 🙂
this was taken this morning. see that fresh just woke up look in her eyes? 🙂 while i was gone, my mom pulled out some hand me down overalls for elsie. i hadn’t put them on her but according to mom, she made her wash them 3 times and wore them constantly. she calls them "pretty pocket pants" heehee.
so today i went on a walk with the elf and i could not get my toddler KIRA out of my head. that was like 10 years ago. endless walks with kira sporting the overalls. she lived in her overalls. i need to go dig up some pics. their little bobs and little girly tendencies– so alike. totally brought me back to 1997. awwww.
and this year, kira turns THIRTEEN. i canNOT believe it.
also.. forgive me. i fed my kids frozen yogurt for dinner tonight. ha- i am such a bad mom. but they all had fruit in their portions! LOL…ok they came home and made themselves soup and frozen pizzas afterwards. then i felt guilty and made potstickers. so random. but i did get my first issue of this today:
i have flipped through this mag for so long but finally got a sub when kira was selling for school. im not kidding. i marked almost every recipe in this issue. i guess i don’t have an excuse for feeding my kids frozen yogurt for dinner anymore…:)

once again these photos of your kids are priceless. Elsie looks so “grown up” in the b&w, and the one with the girls just melt my heart! (wish Kili could have an older sissy!)

Ha! The candid shots are always the best. BTW, we all know you were headed to PinkBerry last night, if we had one of those here I would totally feed my family dinner there every chance I got – no guilt because it’s healthy, right!?

I have so many pics of kira in overalls! I remember that year 1997! How did it become 2008 already? And Jame…Els seems like she talks a lot, when did that start? My girly is still in the repeating mode.

I’m a regular reader of your blog. I emailed you before asking random questions about photography. You are not a bad mom, actually you are a WONDERFUL mom. Having 4 children is a lot of work, exhausting. You are doing a great job ! I only have ONE child & I feed her frozen yogurt & cinnamon rolls for dinner sometimes. Your kids are adorable ! be a proud MAMA (smiles).
