Happy (Belated) July 4th
A couple photos of the kids at my mom’s on Independence Day. They loved it!
The Lake (well, sorta)
We took the kids to Cherokee Lake this past weekend, and like any self-respecting photographer I took my camera with me. And left it in the car nearly the whole time we were there. I did get a couple photos of Mason and his “little people tomatoes” and Sydney, well, looking cute.
PJ Playtime
We went out (all in our PJ’s) for a little walk early this morning because it’s HOT here right now. Even grown-ups can wear pj’s out when you live in the country! So in case you were wondering, here’s what the kids look like now.
First Swim of the Season
Yesterday we went up to Nana Karen & Dad Dad’s house for some fun in the pool. Unlike last year, when we had to coax Mason into the water for about 20 minutes before he’d crack a smile, they both jumped right in and went at it.
Meanwhile, Sydney kept saying, “Let me go!” every five minutes. Regardless of how this photo appears, I did not ever let her go. We were holding on to her tight under the water. I predict she’ll be swimming by August.
A Twist on the ABC’s
The Alphabet Song, Sydney Style.

Earlier today, while Mason was playing a game on Evan’s laptop (the photo below is him excitedly saying, “I did it!” when he finished a puzzle), Sydney kept herself busy playing a word game on my phone. So much for toys.
Just a ‘Playin
Not much to report around here, but I know it’s been a while since I’ve posted. The good news: the kids play by themselves for a bit now. With toys and everything!
Next is what happened when I told Sydney to put her cheek on Mason’s cheek. She wasn’t quite following my lead.
She finally caught on, and cooperated. You know, sorta.
Sydney is Two!
Today is Sydney’s birthday. It was difficult to get a decent photo of her, but I was determined. After all, she only turns two once. Unfortunately. I would love to keep her just like this for at least seventeen years or so.
She wanted to play outside for a bit just before bedtime, so I told her to put her shoes on. This is what she chose. I love her.
All of Us
Last weekend when our friends came to town, they got a few photos of us. All four. Together! Here’s my personal favorite.
Then this little cutie.
Happy Birthday Party
We had the kids a small combined birthday party two weekends ago, and they had a blast. It’s hard to believe Mason is 3 and Sydney is nearly 2. Phew!
Don’t miss a cameo by their BFFs Shelby and Bo.
