Wine and Canvas

I know that many of you have heard of Wine and Canvas, but this was our first rodeo.

 Date night!

 Can you tell what this is going to be?

 Kellen taking it too seriously

Getting there!

 It was so interesting to see everyone's variation of their own painting after we all had the same direction and began with the same palate.

 Finished

 Can you guess who's is who's?!

Viola!

Who wants to do this with us next?! DOUBLE DATE!

4 Hands

My dear cousin Audrey presented this to Paige on her baptism day and I just had to share it.

She is really into photography, and for her final project in photography class she had to come up with an expression of 'four.'

She chose to photograph the hands of Paige, me, my mom, and my grandmother: 4 hands, 4 generations.

It is really hard to capture on my camera, but seeing the details of each hand is pretty cool.

I also think it is neat how my grandmother, who never wore her wedding rings from my grandfather who passed away last February (generational thing), is wearing them here.

 

I love seeing this greet me from the dining room! 
This is something we will treasure forever. Thank you Auds!!

10 months

10 Months Old!!

Weight: 16lbs 14 oz

Length: 30inches

Standing, assisted.

Crawling like a madwoman! My life (and poor Vera's) is over!

Still not too excited about baby food, but getting better. Attempting each mealtime Chokes and gags with table food. I think Paige thinks she wants to be the next kid on the cover of Time 'bonding' with her mother.

Sleeping 10-12hrs at night, 1-2 naps during the day.

Constantly jabbering, likes to talk to Captain and tell him secrets.

LOVES babies and other kids, especially at the pool.
Claps all the time and dances to her music, likes to say her version of the ABC's along with us.

Should I be worried about he terrible twos? We are beginning to have thrashing meltdowns, including what I am pretty sure are swear words at us in Paige-ese.
