Late night photo session

We were headed to bed and Tom decided he liked the lighting so he grabbed the camera and this is what we had the next morning. More here. Pluses to a husband who is a good photographer include great pictures of me and the kids, minuses are that we are lacking in pictures of him and I best be ready for a photo op anytime.

Stop and smell the roses

We had a lovely picnic at the Rose Garden during Nana and Boppa's visit. Mara seems to have figured out this season that you smell with your nose not your taste buds. Not that you even needed to stick your nose in the flowers because there was a slight breeze that filled the whole garden with the aroma.n Blogging time seems to be limited these days so I am going to add the rest of the pictures to an album for your viewing.

Sharing girl

Mara has been looking forward to playing trains with Audra since we brought the trains home at Christmastime and she wasted no time this morning. After breakfast she pulled them out, drove one around the floor a couple of times then put it on Audra and looked up at us and said "sharing". Enjoy!


Kissing.


More sharing.

Audra Neel Hall is here!

Please welcome Audra Neel Hall into the world. Below are some pictures from the hospital. There are also more images here.

Easter

We had a blast dying Easter eggs on Saturday and celebrating the risen Lord on Sunday at our friends. I don't know when I'll get a chance to do a full photo post so here is a link to the online album. I'll add some pictures of Easter Sunday when I get them from Libby's camera.

Hamming it up

Despite being sick today Mara has totally been hamming it up for the camera.

She had a fun chat on the phone with her aunt.



And she had on quite the outfit this morning resulting from some zthings she chose to wear and a bracelet I put on her.
