My belly is ginormous. Sorry, I don’t have photos of it- I’ve been too lazy to take one. You’ll just have to take my word for it. The size of my ginormous belly is an indication as to how soon our family will go from three plus dog to four plus dog. And this, my...

I know I’ve been bad at blogging lately. It’s just that I’m in full-on nesting mode. Every minute not spent with Benjy is spent painting, organizing, planning, buying. The new baby is coming in less than three months!! Wowee!! We did take some time out from our mini-remodel for a midsummer celebration at the summer...

So, we’re back home. Home. HOME. It’s so nice. Yes, the Mediterranean was lovely. Yes, we enjoyed the sunshine. Yes, the Roman and Medieval ruins were fascinating. But. But. There’s no place like home. Especially when you’ve got a 20 month old. The major problem, I found, was the Benjy seemed to spend a whole lot of time...

Yesterday evening, Benjy, Olli and I headed out to the beach. It was perfect light- a little cloudy, the sun setting. Benjy was armed with his pail and shovel and running toward the ocean. He got his shorts wet (he didn’t give us time to change him into his bathing suit), so we stripped his...

Or should I say El Masnou barbecue? Because for one glorious day last week, Olli and I escaped the city (note to future self: URBAN HOLIDAYS ARE NOT FOR CHILDREN) to head to our friend’s parents’ house for a lovely barbecue. And by barbecue I mean excuse to stuff our faces. And talk. And stuff...

On Sunday I had the most traumatic experience as a parent to-date. We were at church, and I saw my mom carry Benjy into the kitchen. Ten seconds later, out of the corner of my eye, I saw my mom fall. It took about .5 seconds for Benjy to start crying, and in that time,...

So, it’s pretty much guaranteed that bubbles make ADORABLE photos. Especially when your subject is a 19 month old little boy who knows something is SUPPOSED to happen when you dip the stick in the bottle, but doesn’t totally get the mechanics of it. I could have photographed this for hours. Oh, and you can...

Playgroup! At a park! Not in a house! The sudden great weather gave us courage to head outside! And wouldn’t you know it, for the two hours we were actually at the park, it was pretty stinkin’ cold and grey and windy. And great weather for photographs! And what greater subjects than these adorable kids...

Another day of summer! Out we went! And we took the grandparents (Mymi and Vaari) with us! Benjy loves his Mymi and Vaari. And he loves the forest. And he loves hats. Put them all together and you’ve got a really happy boy!

Today was summer. Seriously. Maybe the only day of summer we’ll get all year. And we had it today. It was gorgeous and warm and sunny and PERFECT. So we headed to the lake. Nevermind the water would be freezing (did I mention we had a blizzard last Tuesday?), Benjy could play in the sand,...
