the things you do

in daily life

nap time is hard for us now on the best of days, but when it is about 100 degrees inside and there is someone cleaning the carpets in the house, you improvise…

i rocked that darn pram in a corner of our kitchen while standing in the pantry for about 30 minutes.  they slept for maybe 5.
as you can imagine, the rest of the day was super fun.  it included a nice big bruise for clover.

this is another reason that i like the view through a wide angle lens.  we are talking about focal length over at beyond snapshots.

Don't you have air conditioning in your house? I would die if the temp was "about 100" in my house! The twins look hot and sweaty. 5 minutes is not very long to sleep!

Aww!! How completely adorable; they’re in the exact same position! < 33 Ohh, we just have to love those twins. Your kids are my favorite posers [and you my favorite photographer] on all of Flickr. (; Plus, I love your way of ‘Improvising’, minus the part where they only sleep five minutes, haha.

Were you on TV or what? Was that a camera crew or photographer that you had photos of? I’m a bit confused. Lol.

Tell them all I said hello! < 33

I love watching House Hunters last night!!! It was wonderful to get to see you and your hubby. You two are so funny together.
Did you change the stair handles that were scaring you?
