4 years

i don't know why...but i am in.love with this.  tried to crop it, maybe edit a little. nope, went back to it's original state.  something about the background and how large it looks, and how small, yet grown up she looks...man makes my heart swell. 

those wheels are turning!  you can SEE THEM!

being 4 at her finest! :)

kate has the cutest, sweetest, giggle.  if you know her, you know what this picture *sounds* like

i think this one is going to be on a canvas...

kate turned 4 the end of october.
i realized i didn't have a good picture of her for her fourth.
i got her dressed yesterday morning, threw some sweats on myself, a jacket on anne...out we went.
to the backyard.
kate was very excited, for about 3 minutes.
just enough to capture some great photos of her EXACT personality.
she is such a ham bone.
i love her.
on a side note, i have been researching, and wanting to learn the 'manual' setting on my camera.
it is supposed to improve the quality of the pictures.  but i will have to think before i take it, not just snap away.
i tried with kate. it was easier then i thought.
i'm sure a true photographer is giving a big thumbs down, but if i can say...i thought they turned out pretty darn cute!  and i'm the mom, so that is all that matters.
aren't you glad i have the internet again?! HA!

sorry about the picture comments, i am feeling mushy today.

numbered days...

This is Katherine's sweet little foot.
I found her like this early this morning.
Baby feet are my favorite. Even 2 year old feet! :) So cute and little and chubby.
Got to thinking that the days of her little chubby foot hanging out of her crib are numbered. She's starting to venture out into big kid waters...it feels, to us, like she has been a 'baby' for so much longer then Anne was.
Maybe because she is the youngest, maybe because she appears smaller, who knows.
Truth be told-she is growing up faster then anything and I can't stand it! ;0)
Bittersweet days, aren't they?

weekend activites

yesterday, kate woke up with a dry diaper.
i immediately pulled it off and said, 'today you will go peep on the potty!'
she looked at me like i was NUTS.
rightfully so, she has spent the last 2 1/2 years wizzing in a diaper, knowing no different really, for her to wake up on a random Saturday and me deem it NO DIAPER DAY!
she has done really, really well.
i am not a lover of potty training, could be because I am TERRIBLE AT IT! in fact i am a firm believer that someone should start a center that the children can go to for a few days and you pick them up when they are done. kind of like doggie boot camp or something. (call me sick, that's fine, just being honest!)hopefully this will continue. only two accidents yesterday and none today!
whoop whoop!

kate.

i don't get a lot of one on one time with either girl for any length of time. yesterday being an exception. anne took a late nap, kate took a short nap. so we went to 'the pool' and momma went nuts with her camera.

couldn't you just eat her up? i'm just sayin'! :)
