Smashed Taters

When we moved into this house, we found that we had invaded an overpopulated potato bug community. They were somehow weasling their way through doorcracks and we would find them roaming our halls or lounging in our bedroom. This summer we learned that spraying each entryway with poison was the best deterrent so far. Once word got around that there was a deadly barrier, we stopped seeing the nasty little creatures inside. I'm not sure what has happened, but suddenly they are back with a vengence. This is the 3rd monster we have nearly stepped on in our house this week. HELP!!!

Double Trouble

The two weeks of babysitting Bentley were so much fun. Not easy, but fun. The babies followed each other everywhere. I stepped out of the room for merely a second, and somehow they managed to open the container of cheerios.

Talullah absolutely loves her signing video that Katy let us borrow. To get a few minutes to sit and catch my breath, I put in the dvd and let the kids bounce, bounce, bounce.

Love Is In The Air

Nick & I had such a great week in Carlsbad, waking up to sunshine, enjoying morning walks to the beach and daily trips to Starbucks... ahhhhh.... vacation. Sarah's wedding was spectacular and Talullah was at her very best. Suddenly a social butterfly, she's letting everyone hold her without the immediate fuss fit. Our little girl is growing up!

A week later was Pam's wedding, another beautiful ceremony. How fantastic to spend quality time with old girlfriends who know much too much about you. By old... I don't mean we're old, of course!

Sugar & Spice

And everything nice. That's what my little girl is made of. Thanks Megan for taking such great shots of Taley. Next time, lets do a double shoot with BOTH girls! ;)

Summer Sun

On yet another unbelievably nice day, Taley & I went to spend some time at nana's house. Talullah loves sitting in the grass, and she's been having a blast with her new Lightening McQueen buggy. Soon she'll have the princess wave down, I'm sure. She also LOVED the mango that I'd brought along for lunch. Yum Yum Yum!!! She usually only eats half a jar at each meal, but she gobbled that entire container in one sitting. Mango is my favorite, too!

Father & Daughter

Just hangin' out with dad.

Two to Tango

Every now and again I get to watch my friend Laura's little boy, Bentley. He is five weeks older than Miss T so it's always a nice preview of things to look forward to in the near future. What fun watching the two little ones interact. Talullah was just dying to play, but Bentley was too busy exploring now that he's crawling all over the place!
