With Grandma

Deacon needed to spend a little cuddle time with Grandma before he had to leave the house with me and let the big brothers and sister have all the fun. I love how he looks so into it!

Feet

Whenever Deacon's feet are bare, he loves to touch his soles together and curl his toes. It's one of those little things that makes him Deacon, and I love it, along with his chubby body.

Four months old today!

Babies!

So in case it wasn't painfully obvious, I titled this photo 'Babies!" because there are a lot of babies in this photo! Eight of them! These little cuties filled up our living room this afternoon, along with their mommies. I was in a prenatal yoga class with all the lovely ladies, and we've been trying to keep in touch with each other now that the babies are here and class is over. What a great bunch!

Chai

All you Tazo Chai fans will turn your affections to a new love after you try this stuff. Ah-mazing. It's twice the price of the Tazo concentrate, but you need half as much per cup so combine that with the intense flavour superiority...it all evens out.

Daddy’s Boy

These handsome guys remind me a lot of a daddy and his girl that I captured way back when I started this project.

The Real Deal

Yesterday Markus was pretending to be Deacon pulling hair, and here he is getting his hair pulled by the baby himself. Is that a precious smile or what?

Impersonation

Here's Markus doing his best Deacon impersonation on Wyatt.
"I'm Deacon, I'm pulling your hair!"
(Make sure you imagine his baby voice.)

All dressed up.

Julia arrived victoriously today with a purple dragon costume! It was time for everyone to get dressed up.

Markus and Wyatt basically live in those jackets. People who work at the grocery store are starting to remember me, and I'm sure it has everything to do with my memorable crew and nothing to do with my face.

Old School

My kids have really been enjoying watching The Incredibles lately. I love a line near the end, after the Incredibles have saved the day, two old men are marveling at the superheroes' abilities,
"Now that's old school."
"No school like the old school."

It's been playing in my head for days, and came to mind again when I was texting on my old school phone today. It's not smart, but it gets the job done. Not that I wouldn't welcome an upgrade.

Reflection

My drooly little baby had a good time playing on the floor with his toys while I got some stuff done in the kitchen.
