Still Somehow Holding Off Fall
September 8th, our little barefoot peanut exploring around the sandbox… See this image larger.
… and squishing her toes in the sand! See this image larger.
What a happy face! I can’t kiss those little cheeks enough! See this image larger.
September 9th, Mommy enjoys the tire swing with the little ones. See this image larger.
My beautiful wife… I want to kiss those cheeks too! See this image larger.
Alright, Mommy’s feeling dizzy, let’s go in! See this image larger.
Somehow the can-cozies that we got at my cousin Nicole’s wedding turned into power-bands! See this image larger.
September 11th, hard to believe Ian still fits in this car, but he can manage it. See this image larger.
Still my little ray of sunshine. See this image larger.
September 12th, checking in Ian’s folder after school — orange highlight means he knows the letters, he did pretty darn awesome! See this image larger.
Good job, buddy! See this image larger.
September 14th, Awww! Look at the pigtails on that little beauty! (And somebody bought Mommy flowers, see kids? Daddy wasn’t always mindless.) See this image larger.
You really can’t lose with pigtails. See this image larger.
This was one of my first Friday lunches with Melissa. We don’t always do these, but when we do, it is really nice to get a little “us” time to chat. See this image larger.
Ian strikes a confident pose outside in the front yard. See this image larger.
September 15th, still a book Ian likes to read from time-to-time. See this image larger.
Nina packs a nice lunch. See this image larger.
And she sets a mean table, but if you like a blue plate, I hope you like a blue lunch, or else you’re out of luck. See this image larger.
September 16th and this shoot ended up very nice. See this image larger.
Probably the best of the bunch, right here. See this image larger.
This one’s good too. See this image larger.
*If you hug me, maybe Daddy will stop taking pictures.* See this image larger.
Awwww! See this image larger.
Ready for action! See this image larger.
*Daddy, maybe while I’m doing this, you could edge the lawn?* Yeah, yeah, I’ll get to it, sheesh! See this image larger.
What a character. See this image larger.
My beautiful girls! See this image larger.
Nina built a makeshift iPad holder out of a chair. See this image larger.
“Hey Nina, can you look up at Daddy for a sec?” See this image larger.
Well, you could smile too… I guess that’s too many interruptions. Alright, back to Yo Gabba Gabba. See this image larger.
At least she’s getting fresh air? See this image larger.
Nina lines up her blocks in a big “train.” There might be more to this story, Mommy took this one, so I’m not sure. See this image larger.
September 21st, Ian put some blue chalk on this fallen leaf, and I thought it was a great color contrast. Nice! See this image larger.
Ian hopped outside and wanted a dry slide. But it was wet from the rain. See this image larger.
Now, if I had tried this, I’d have ended up with a wet butt and two paper towels up the back of my shirt. Ian, on the other hand, sat on two paper towels, slid to the end, and wound up with wet paper towels and a dry slide. Good job, buddy! See this image larger.
