I know, I know, technically today is Flashback Friday. My poor, poor neglected blog. We’ve been busy bees around here, so there’s a ton to share! Of course, being a new mom of TWO is busy enough, (by the way, can you believe that Claire is 8 weeks old already?!), but there was also the birth of baby Harper, the birth of my nephew JJ, Easter, a one-year old session, outdoor mini-sessions, and a visit from Mike’s dad. And tomorrow we’re hitting the zoo, and on Sunday I have another newborn session! Plus Claire is turning two months old and smiling and cooing a ton, so I need to capture that as well. So much to keep me busy…I really ought to get better at staying on top of it all, especially since I go back to work in 3 weeks. 3 WEEKS.

So how about we just take things one at a time? Here are some snapshots of us celebrating Easter a week early with Nana and PopPop, Jeff and Leslie, and Mike and Cindy. And all of the babies! Harleyann, Macy, Jacob, Claire and JJ!

These are entirely unedited. That’s why they are also small. I am unashamed. I told you I’m BUSY!

Macy and Jacob had a tea party. I think he liked it, although Macy kept choking the poor guy with the spoon! Good thing he doesn’t have a strong gag reflex.

The perpetrator. (I just wanted to show her dress. Isn’t it cute?! Not at all Easter-y. Which I like, being that I’m not a fluffy, frilly, ruffly girl.)

Poor Jacob is wondering how he lucked out to be born into THIS family. He’s silently screaming HELP. ME.

I think he’s decided to embrace it.

Of course the ubiquitous Easter-egg-and-finger-and-hand-and-dress-and-table-dying photos! And yes, that’s a lollipop in my daughter’s mouth. She got it for going pee on the potty. And I don’t think she’s done it since! I’m gonna need a Potty Training Boot Camp. But I digress. Back to the eggs.

Uh oh, somebody made a mess! But it wasn’t Messy Macy this time…believe it or not! Daddy spilled the blue dye. Almost exactly 8 minutes after he warned everyone NOT to spill the dye. Especially the blue dye. Tee hee…I had a good laugh over that one.

Okay, so that was early Easter. Stay tuned for many, many more pictures! And some words to go along with.

Namaste. (Somebody on tv was saying that lately, and it’s been stuck in my head. Sorry.)
