Long Overdue Photo Update!

After seeing the photos that Erin took, I realized anew how terrible our little camera is. I stopped taking pictures for a while, but then realized that my boys are adorable enough that they'll still be cute even with poor resolution. So, after months of neglect, here are some photo updates of all the brotherly love happening lately (wish I could say it always looked like this):


Elliot grows more capable by the hour.
That also means we've entered the phase of bumps and blood for boy number 2.

These photos were taken before I started the whole keeping-the-house-clean and getting-dressed-everyday thing (which by the way, we're still doing well!)




Elliot has taken a strong interest in my yarn

Here is the yarn for the sweaters I mentioned.

Søren and I broke out the water colors. I painted him...

And then he said, "Momma, wait one minute. I paint you."

Here he is proudly showing me where my head and hair and eyes are.
Can't you see it?

  1. You're completely right: the boys are cute not matter what resolution you use. And I think it's funny that Søren is wearing a tye-dyed shirt... you so live in Oregon again.

  2. Ha! The tye-dye thing has yet to fully win me over, but he LOVES this shirt and would wear it for days on end if I did not insist of peeling it off for the wash a couple times a week. So really, Soren is the true Oregonian, and he's working on getting me to start liking colors other than understated earth tones =)

  3. Looks like the shirt works for painting, at least. I'm sure Victoria had a tye-dye shirt she made with friends at some point.

    Soren's captured you well, Marianne (perhaps on a wild hair day...) ;o)

  4. So Soren announces that you are blue....ah, the implications. ;)

    Very cute pictures, M. Soooo reminds me of my boys at that age. All I can think of is all the fun you have ahead, and the pensive moments, too.

    Thanks for sharing!

  5. Deanna - Yes...that might the case. Perhaps this should be titled "morning momma".

    Cherie - I was pleased he chose blue. If I had to pick from his palate that probably would have been my choice. As for the implications...sometimes kids know things we don't! But, to be fair, I was wearing a blue shirt that day.

  6. Elliot with his little hand on Soren's shoulder while they look at books together is too much!

  7. I know...that's the detail that killed me. Thanks for noticing it!
