day 11: My mom always talks about a shirt that my brother had as a baby that said “teething is the pits”. Well now I know why they make that shirt. I thought that teething was rough when the babies were getting their front teeth. But that was nothing compared to what is going on now with Paul getting his first molars. He has two coming in at once and he has been the saddest man on the planet. Take a look at this poor little guy’s face. Complete with a single tear. He was sad for almost the entire day, although he did perk up at a trip to Costco. I am really hoping that he starts feeling better once his teeth are all in.

day 10: this evening I attended another wedding, only this time I was going as a guest. One of my good friends from junior high got married today and my mom and sister came up to watch the kids while we went out. I didn’t want to bring a camera since I was “off duty” so I didn’t take a single picture (can you believe it?) Instead I took this crummy one when I got home. And now I’m going to bed.

day 9: today was my first wedding of 2010, and what a GORGEOUS wedding it was! A beautiful day out in Malibu and an unbelievably sincere and beautiful couple. It was absolutely perfect, I couldn’t ask for a better start to the year! One of my favorites –

day 8: so I didn’t get my day 7 photo put online yesterday. Well if there is one thing I learned by the end of my last successful 365 project it’s that you have to cut yourself a little slack. And if once in a while your picture doesn’t make it onto the blog on the very same day it was taken, that’s ok. I’ll still do my best to get them up in a timely manner, but it’s not always possible. So without further ado, here’s my photo from yesterday. Mr. Paul getting a kick out of his trucks. He loves absolutely ANYTHING with wheels.

day 7: Amelia got a baby doll for Christmas and she LOVES it and she LOVES to feed her baby a bottle. I melt every time!

day 6: all of my least favorite images from the first year of photo-rific are ones where I forgot to take a picture during the day and just took a picture right before bed of something on my desk. And here I go again doing the same thing. Oops. Tomorrow I’ll make sure to bring my camera when I go out. It’s tougher these days when I’m also carrying 47 pounds of baby around. Quite a workout!

day 5: today was MUCH more fun and relaxing than yesterday (thank goodness). I think the kids have finally re-adjusted to being back at home after our long vacation. What better way to wind down your day than playing in a toy box? *disclaimer* I did NOT put the babies into the box. They climbed in themselves. No babies (or toys, or boxes, or dogs for that matter) were harmed in the making of this photograph.

day 4: today was a VERY long day. and this is a VERY boring picture. but at least I’m posting one. I’m not giving up yet 🙂 and oh, yeah, yay for us we actually managed to get our Christmas decorations taken down in a timely fashion. so at least I didn’t have an entirely pointless day.

day 3: this morning we took Amelia and Paul to a farmer’s market. After watching Food Inc. we’ve been convinced that buying not only organic but also local is an important thing to try to do. We picked up some oranges (seriously people… how do you eat only in season produce?! It seemed like the ONLY thing that was in season was citrus) that the babies LOVED. They ate two of them in about 30 seconds. Hopefully we’ll be able to make a trip to the farmer’s market a weekly outing.

day 2: This afternoon the peanuts (Paul and Amelia) had a playdate with their BFF (ok so maybe they’re not best friends yet but they will be!) Olive and Paul’s biggest fan Isaac. I love this one of Amelia… I think she’s looking up at Isaac. They’re always marveling at the big kids 🙂
