life with a boy in the house

…means the highlight of our backyard picnic is finding this creature… …and being so engrossed in watching bulldozer (and backhoe) clips on YouTube that you lose yourself in pinching your belly skin and can’t possibly be bothered to look away from the screen. Oh and being a boy, means being too fast for mom to…

    Oh gosh, these are so cute… but Betsy! 4:15 am???! Sick… you sound so much like me it’s pitiful! But I guess that’s what you gotta do sometimes!!!

    Do you have the Mighty Machine videos? They are a big hit with my 2 year old and only about $3 each at toysrus.

    omgosh…Miles is getting so big…but I love him. And I love his ears. You need to get cracking and make a girl version (yes…there are ways of attempting to help that along)…but can you imagine a girl version of Miles? I could eat him with a spoon. I hope he needs a Halloween tee because I got one cooking for him:)

evan’s sneak peek

I usually ask my senior clients if they play the guitar, in the hopes that they do so we can do some guitar shots. So when I got the email that Evan wanted to bring his guitar, you can imagine me doing a little excited jump and saying, “Yesssssss!” If you are a high school…

This little family is very dear to us. You have already met these guys before, so you already know how full of life this family is. We just love every opportunity we get to see them. These are the kind of people you close the restaurant down with because you always have so much to…

    Wow, well THAT’S a handsome family! Mr. Logan is Hollywood-ready, no doubt. The third picture is absolutely perfect.

    Beautiful. The photo of Logan holding his mom’s face and kissing her brought tears to my eyes. How sweet is that????!

    OKAY. Adorb. That 3rd photo pretty much blows me away. So cute.

  • Anna Lynch McClaryAugust 4, 2009 - 9:58 pm

    LOVE that second one. I think that Logan’s mom is going to have little girls breaking down her door.

  • GailAugust 4, 2009 - 11:00 pm

    The close up of Logan with his big blue eyes is UNREAL. Bets, you blow me away with each new post. Well done friend, well done.

no dogs allowed on the couch

But I can’t say no to this precious little face. They totally know they aren’t allowed on the couch either, that’s why she is attempting to hide behind the pillow here. These dogs have us wrapped around their freakishly long toenails.

    “Thats ok, tell me again. It’s a good story.”

    I think those are two sentences that just grabbed my heart. Your John is such an amazing man. You are blessed to have had TWO great loves in your life, friend, and something tells me you know this only too well.

    John, you have such a kind heart. Bless you for sharing it with Betsy!
