Post-mini session shoot

I got this Groupon a few weeks ago, and we booked our session for today. I'll have to post a review once we get our proofs in 10 days. I figured just one single shot would be worth $19 though.

But since we were already camera-ready, I brought my camera along and took some shots of the kids playing on the playground after our 30 minutes were up.

She's always a few steps behind, but always trying to keep up!

Her cheeks get so red when she gets hot. I think she gets it from me.

Who's that big kid?

Abby had to have some help to be brave enough for the big slide:

But Grant didn't need any help. He's getting so brave at playgrounds, but still makes sure we are near if he tries something new.

Sibling love:

Then it was time to go home:

Playing at the house

Grant loves Mater and Lightening McQueen

Abby can always make a mess in 2 seconds flat. Clean kitchen turns into a WRECK!

Abby loves to tackle us when we lay on the ground.

Grant's new favorite activity (shown in the background above and in the shot below) is playing with his cars in the cabinet. I think it's because he can make sure Abby doesn't take them.

He doesn't mind breaking away from the cars to help Abby get a book though. So sweet.

Average night in

This was really an excuse to use the new lens.

BATH TIME! The kids love taking a bath together.
How cute is this view?!?!
PLAY TIME!

She soooo looks up to her brother. The look in her eyes and the way she follows him...

When she gets tired, she will briefly lay down like this.
Do you like my hat?!?!
AND time to go "night night":
And here's a clip - Abby thinks Grant is just SOOOO funny!

Catching up on photos

The kids started back to daycare last week. Derek managed to catch Grant playing outside when he went to pick them up.

And they are SO advanced that they moved up a room already. Ok. Can't even say that with a straight face. Really, the day care added a new infant room, which made everyone in the whole joint bump up.

Back up a few weeks - we were scrambling to find child care so that Clara could heal (she's STILL in a cast). And who came to our rescue?! THIS girl!

I'm so happy we got to spend time with Kennedy and that she saved the day for our babies. We figured out that I was her age when we first met. She was 5. And then I blinked my eyes really hard so that I would stop becoming my father. "When I was about your age..."

Some shots of my babies playing with each other.

And my big girl, who will drink herself to sleep many nights. I don't know where she gets that.

Grant making some post-spaghetti funny faces:

Abby made some cute faces too!

And watching/playing with Lola!

And you know you've taken too many photos when...
