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 🙂

day 1 – Yeah, yeah, yeah… this is the third attempt (since the first successful year, might I remind you) to restart photo-rific. But I figure that there’s no better time than at the beginning of a year. I suppose it’s kind of a sad start to the year to post the first entry a day late, but better late than never. I did in fact take this one yesterday… so… without further ado – day 1. This is one of my favorites from a super fun family session I did yesterday for my friend Jackie Wonders. She and her little girl are TOO cute.

day 76: This one is courtesy of Ben… I was busy videotaping the babies with the screen pointing at them (which they found absolutely fascinating) Once again just kinda felt like going crazy with photoshop… not sure why. I think I’m bored 🙂

day 75: Sunday afternoon Grandma Ann hopped back on a plane but not without me getting a couple of shots of her with the babies… this one is my favorite because it shows how feisty and fidgety Amelia’s gotten lately. She really doesn’t sit still for a second and she looks like she’s making a break for it 🙂 I also just felt like going crazy on the photoshop so here’s your funky antiquey black and white for the day…
