The musical Lucas

We were listening to some classical music today. And dancing around with playsilks. And musical instruments. Lucas sat down on the couch and pulled his playsilk over his head to quietly enjoy the music. And sat like that for a LONG time. Of course, when I came along with the camera, he pulled it off before I could snap a picture. :) Sneaky boy... (I'm happy to say that Gwendolyn LOVES classical music and dancing around with me in her sling - she was so content today)

Gwendolyn at play

Laying on her crib mattress, in the middle of the living floor, propped over Lucas's car pillow, batting at her jingley angel doll. Ah, what a happy baby.

Suspicious, at best

Whenever Lucas walks up to Gwendolyn, she always looks sooo concerned. Yet so happy at the same time. He does play with her, but also accidentally whacks her on the head a fair amount of the time, too. He likes to share things a little too energetically :) He sure is good at looking innocent...

My pretty girl

Oh yeah, I love taking pictures of that pretty girl! She's always so happy and smiley - how can I resist??

The sink

When I'm not watching Lucas closely enough, this is where I find him. Standing on his chair, in front of the sink, with his blue 'Cintas' cup, with my dishtowel shoved in it, watching the water pour over it. :) He does love water.

The headband and the apple

Lucas wearing my headband and carrying around an apple slice. What more could a boy want??

Loving the mess

Oh yes I am :) Lucas and Gwedolyn were both napping

and my first thought was to start cleaning up the house and all the little messes that Lucas makes all day. Instead, I took a picture and sat down to appreciate all of his toys scattered. One day when the kids are older, I'm sure I'll look back and miss the happy chaos that has taken over the house. It will be neat and orderly once more, and I'll wish for the toys happily scattered. So, even if just for a moment, I'm going to try to appreciate the mess. And take pictures of it.

Lack of a picture

I still don't have any pictures of the kids in the new stroller. Even tho we've used it everyday. Maybe one of these days I'll remember to bring the camera outside..

A stroller - truly!

Woohoo!!! Tim just got me the best double jogging stroller EVER!! I am all sorts of excited to get it :) We get to go and pick it up on Saturday. We even get to ride the train to pick it up :) I'll definitely be posting some pics of the kids in their new stroller when we get it! Stay tuned...
