Happy Valentine's Day!

This was the first year Boeing needed to actually have Valentine's to exchange. Gotta love Pinterest, because I found many cute ideas. These are the ones for his classmates at Rinaldi Parent Education (we were asked to bring in 30).
Of course, we couldn't stop the celebration there. Our friends Joanna and Sammie hosted a Valentines playdate and the kids exchanged there too! It was to cute watching them line up and collect their goodies.
What a ham!
Surprise waiting for us when we got home on Valentine's Day evening. Auntie Amy made chocolate dipped strawberries. Boeing really loved them, so Mommy did not get a taste!
Little something for our little someone.
Another Bruder!
Heart shaped cinnamon rolls. Yum Yum!
Daddy's Birthday too! A weather station kit that works on wind power.

A Few More Photos

Every year Uncle Bubba takes fall photos of Boeing. Although we usually go to a pumpkin patch, we had a perfect setting right in GrandpE's yard. He did a great job hamming it up for the camera; bribed of course!
Hard to have a favorite, but this may be it!

These are some long over due to be posted photos Bubba shot when we went to Utah for Wendy and Nate's wedding (June 10, 2011). The scenery was perfect for these cute little cowboy boots and plaid shirt. Such a handsome boy!

Family Photos, Finally!!

I have been wanting to take family photos for quite some time now. In Robin fashion, I spent so much time mulling over the attire that photos did not get done. End result, no current photos. As we transition Boeing's baby room into a shared room for our new arrival, I knew I wanted a family photo up for him to look at. So, I just asked Uncle Bubba if he was available to shoot some at the local park and only gave myself a couple of days to plan the rest. We had a limited amount of time to get the shots, as I intentionally scheduled it between two timed activities. This worked fantastic, only taking one hour from start to finish. Well, Uncle Bubba had more work once I picked my favorites, but really, why do I make such a big deal of it? I'm definately going this route for our next shoot (aiming for June). BTW, sadly I do not look pregnant in most of the photos, rather, "thick". Oh well!
Notice we all have Blungstone boots (from Australia/New Zealand)
