Brotherly Love

I think Anders has Landon riiiiight where he wants him.

Portraits Gone Awry

I tried to take Christmas card pictures this morning. Tried being the operative word there.

True.

[Scene: Snuggle session on couch.]

Mom: "I love you so much. You're my sweetie pie."

Landon: "Mommy, you're my cookie."

Please consider this entry the inaugural post amongst the new category "Quotes." Now that Landon is starting to use some more pragmatic and spontaneous language, the jewels will start coming! I will post the sweet and the ridiculously absurd as they stand out.

My Mom Dressed Me

Nothing like some northwest gear with a hint of pajamas.

Goin' on an Owl Hunt

I was able to grab some pics with my actual camera camera when we were outside in the afternoon observing a beautiful (and kinda' creepy) owl in our backyard. Have you ever seen one rotate its head almost 360 degrees? That is what makes it super creepy. I think this is the same feathered friend that hoots loudly around 2am in the woods behind our house. I remember one night Erik turned to me in dazed slumber and asked if one of the boys was awake; I laughed and assured him that they were fine and - for future reference - our children do not "hoot" when requiring assistance. The poor lucky guy can't hear a baby screaming in the middle of the night but apparently a natural "hoot hoot" will rouse him from the zzz's. If that's not selective hearing, well then I don't know what is.

"I don't think I trust you, bird."

True.

Lazy Sunday

When there is nothing else to do you may as well just throw some rocks.
