Three Weeks....

So it's been almost 3 weeks since I last posted.  It's shameful, I know, that I haven't been keeping you all up to date on all of the exciting activities going on in our lives... I'm sure you're feeling the loss and have just been huddled in front of your computer monitors desperately waiting for an update.

Really though, it's been a pretty hectic few weeks.  The day after my last post I attended 3 birthday parties- two were first birthdays and LP and I went together, and the third was a friend's birthday that evening which BP and I attended.  I took no photos at any of these parties unfortunately- Paul stayed home to get some yard work done while LP and I went to the kiddy parties and so my hands were full.  Here's a pic of LP playing with one of the birthday boys (this was party number 2 for us that day) that someone else took:

And here's the birthday boy's mom Jaimie holding LP- We celebrated Jaimie's birthday later that night!

The following weekend was the July 4th weekend.  Friday my high school roommate Linsey visited for a few hours, meeting LP for the first time.  My brother Spencer and his girlfriend also arrived Friday morning to stay until Saturday afternoon.  Here are a few pics Linsey took:

Saturday morning Paul played with LP in the morning so that I could shower with the door closed (which seriously, is heavenly.  Any day I get to shower with the door closed is a good day).  I came downstairs to find LP helping Daddy in the garage:

In the evening we BBQed with Paul's parents.  LP enjoyed a bottle and a teething biscuit instead of some smoked ribs.

Sunday we took LP to the park where he went on a swing for the first time and totally loved it (and I neglected to take my camera with me.)  Then we came home and collapsed on the couch for the rest of the day.

On Tuesday after the 4th my college friend came to visit until Thursday when LP and I dropped her off in Connecticut on our way to Pennsylvania.  While in PA we saw tons of people, I went to a family baby shower, Grandpa and Uncle Nelson babysat LP after a few quick refreshers/lessons in how to diaper a baby, LP went to church (and behaved very well through the Longest Sermon Ever) and then he went swimming for the first time.

Now we're home (we missed Paul like crazy and I know he missed us too- he told me on Monday night that usually when I go away for a few days he enjoys having some time to himself, but that this time he just spent the whole weekend missing us instead- awww....) and trying to get back to our normal routine even though this weekend I'll be driving to NJ for the day (yikes- 5 hours each way!) for another baby shower and we'll celebrate Paul's birthday on Sunday.  I'm thinking next weekend might be a quiet one though!

And one more thing:

On June 19 Paul took this picture of Little Paul.  He clearly had no top teeth.   Today, July 15, not even one month later, the kid has 3 teeth on top!  He is teething fast and furious (and thankfully without too much fuss)... It's so strange to see teeth in those little gums- I'll try to get a picture soon to share!

Gee they grow up so fast.....

What Winter Looks Like...

(Welcome to anyone arriving here from Blue Zebra Photography !) (Oh!  And this is post # 500 on Ye Olde Blogge.  Wow!) I mentioned earlier that I'm participating in two different photography projects this year with other members of the Bloom Forum .   The second project I'm participating in are monthly photos that relate to a certain theme or word. For January, the theme is "Winter." We've had an odd winter so far here in Massachusetts.  Hardly any snow at all and over the weekend it was actually in the 50's which is pretty unusual.  We did have a brief snowstorm last week though and while LP and Eliza were cozied up on the couch together I wandered around and took a few photos of the scene.  I love how cozy it is in our house when it's snowy out and wanted to capture some images that conveyed that...

February: What Shadow Looks Like

  (Welcome if you’re coming from Suzanne O'Brien Studio in Northern California!) This month’s group photography theme was “shadow.”  I’ll admit, I had a bit of a hard time with this one.  We’re in the middle of the February doldrums around these parts, and while the sun does shine from time to time it’s cold and blustery and damp most days.  It was tough to get motivated and creative about this, but that’s the whole point of the challenge! The kids and I were in the living room one afternoon and LP was lining his toys up on the windowsill.  The (frigid) afternoon sun was pouring in and I realized that there was a sort of lightbox effect.   I enlisted LP’s help in photographing some of his favorite toys (and one of Eliza’s) so he was the “stylist” for this little photo shoot.  I think if we ever have a dedicated play room I might frame some of these photos for the walls!

10 on 10: January

This year I've decided to participate in two monthly photography projects along with some of the other members of Bloom , a photography forum I'm part of.   The first of these projects is a 10 on 10:   Ten photos taken during one day or event, documenting that day or event, and posted on the tenth of the month.   Everyone's entries are posted in a blog circle- you can follow the links from blog to blog and see everyone's contribution. (And WELCOME! to any of you who might have come here from Rachel McCalley Photography !)   I decided to use the 10 on 10 in January to document a typical day now that I'm a full-time stay at home mom.  A few caveats:  I neglected to take any photos of the morning which was spent at the pediatrician as it was a rather negative experience (more on that in another upcoming post).  I also neglected to notice that my camera was set on jpeg instead of raw (perhaps a child was messing with my settings?  Am not sure wha...
