This month, co-starring Andrew, who has lost his first two teeth since we got here and is totally adorable. Emily gets home from camp tonight, otherwise she’d be in the picture as well.
The 8th month photos seem to be on trips a lot. Makes sense since that’s when we usually travel.
We took the picture this month in Heather’s hallway. So lovely! I might move the location permanently to her house. Hope she doesn’t mind!
Linus’s smile looks a little forced, but check out the dimples on those three!
I swear I took this yesterday, just didn’t have a chance to post it. (Deborah and I were too busy watching disaster movies.)
Yeah, we’re in Austin now, housesitting with Deborah’s family for another coworker. So far we haven’t done a whole lot, just relaxing, going swimming, working, that kind of thing. Yesterday we attempted an urban adventure quest downtown, but it kind of went to pot when it started to sprinkle, then everyone was hungry, and Miles’s ear started hurting. So after lunch at a pizza place and of course a Voodoo doughnut, I took Miles to urgent care where he was diagnosed with a double ear infection. Poor bunny.
You can tell the school year is almost over. Miles is wearing two different shoes, Oliver has black pants instead of navy, and you can almost see Linus’s toes through his shoes. But by god, we are almost to the end of third grade!
Some outtakes:
Aw, a year ago was the 100th monthly pic, which I planned for so long, but didn’t exactly turn out as amazing as I’d hoped. Mostly because of socks. Oh well. 200 will be better.
Behold, 112:
Took the boys to one of the escape the room places today. We had a blast AND we saved the world from a deadly virus, tyvm.
Here we are outside the CDC:
😎 😛 😜
Sorry to interrupt my recap of our trip to the UK, but it’s the fourth of the month, so that can only mean one thing…
I can’t tell you how tempted I was to use this pic though. ❤
Inside because it rained all day. Hard to get this one because they were a tad tired after last night’s slumber party. (Finally went to sleep around 1, only to be up for the day by 6:30. When are they going to sleep like teenagers already?
But I had to use some hardcore emotional manipulation (and Minions on Netflix) to get them to “smile” for this picture. Whatever works.
Ziggy wandered in this time.
Also, I made them all stand still for a portrait.
Due to inclement weather, we had to take this month’s picture inside. And due to our small living room, the proportions of this picture are a bit off as well.
How did I get those smiles, you might ask? I just pulled out my old trick from when they were toddlers and yelled, “POOP!” Worked like a charm.
Also, they look a lot more alike in black and white.
The boys and I are in Los Angeles, visiting my brother, sister-in-law, and niece. We’re all loving the mild weather, and I love that Ellie made another appearance in the monthly pics.
I really wanted to use one of the pictures I took against the hedge wall they have alongside the driveway, but this is the kind of tomfoolery I had to deal with.
So. Sitting on the front porch, it is.
