I'm not sure that this is a terrarium that will actually grow. But it's very decorative.

I taught Saoirse to tie her shoes today.

At this age, I'm not tempted to take pictures of them sleeping quite as often as when they were tiny. But sometimes I still have to. So pretty. And she's mine.

This is the first day that has been chilly. Fall is coming.

The kids love it when I have to go to the dealership for an oil change, because they have a fun kids waiting room to play in. Fiona will be disappointed that she missed it.

We left Fiona at Grandma and Grandpa's about 20 minutes ago, and it already feels weird. Donuts might help.

I get so caught up in shooting the way I like to that sometimes I forget to take shots like this. Some days they're important, though.

This kid is really funny when he's being silly.

I'm not sure who likes this fenced in yard at Grandma and Grandpa's house more: the kids who get to play in it freely or me. Letting them run free and knowing they're contained is pretty awesome.

When Chris gets home from soccer games after the kids are in bed, he sits on the bed and tells me about the game. I love it. And him.
