All I want for Mother's Day...

...is for my kids to sit together so I can get a good pic of all three of my little loves. You would think that would be a cheap and easy gift for them to give me. ha. I took about 50 snaps of them all togther and this is the ONLY decent one and I had to swap a head from another picture to get one of all three looking at the camera with a reasonable expression! Annabelle isn't even the most difficult to photograph. She knows she's supposed to sit in the middle and look at the camera and smile. She does that...only problem is that she hops up and runs to hug me every 10 seconds. Then she goes back and assumes her position with a smile. It's a sweet problem.

Paris...Oooh la la

OUI! That's right, Cody and I recently traveled to Paris and Amsterdam. His company sent him to Holland and so I met him there after his work portion of the trip for some leisure travel. We took the bullet train from Amsterdam to Paris and spent a few days in Paris before returning to Amsterdam for a couple days. I think one our favorite parts of the trip was watching the sun set behind the Eiffel Tower. Since we have been back, I have attempeted to make Boeuf Bourguignon and failed miserably. (Note to self: don't try to cook foods you cant pronounce.)

Sleeping beauty

I can't think of anything sweeter than a sleeping child. Whether they are sleeping contentedlly in their beds after a long day, or snuggled cozily in my arms, or a newborn who will sleep through anything.
