Mother's Day Playground Fun, Part I

Four years old and as cute as ever. But did I not just give him a haircut?

So lovely it hurts. Good thing I didn't come across this one on Mother's Day.

Not So Random III

These photos were all taken by Adam. He's really starting to get the hang of it. It's even more impressive when you know that he's using my digital SLR (no digital display at the back) which is quite heavy for little hands to manoeuvre*.

I did crop this one of my cousin, Andrew, and his girlfriend, Natalia. Otherwise, these are all uneditted.

*Did you know that the American spelling is maneuver? That just looks so wrong to me. and ugly. Kinda like checking, as in checking account. I don't know why check instead of cheque bothers me little but checking instead of chequing or chequeing bothers me greatly.

Not Exactly Random II

Adam in his Easter finery. He likes wearing a tie so much that he'll wear it outside the vest to call attention to it.

Naomi's finery included these shoes, which were hardly removed once she saw them. She wore them outside to play but I made her wear socks over them. Socks are a lot cheaper. She wore the shoes over a sleeper. She wore them to bed. When she wasn't wearing them, BearBear was.

BTW, I have decided that the Easter/spring/summer dress is mine to choose for as long as she'll let me. Other years, Winners has had the best selection. This year it was The Bay. The dresses were all to die for. And 40% off on Saturday of the Easter weekend. I could have come home with 8 dresses. I got it narrowed down to two, so I bought both, planning to return one. Despite a 7-0 consensus from my family (even Adam and Naomi agreed) I couldn't give the other one up. The purple/green/blue stripey one is definitely more Eastery and the crowd pleaser. The other dress will be worn for number 3's christening.
