New Camera

Our new camera came the other day in the mail! Our old one, the one we've had for five years, broke around Christmas time. We've been borrowing my cousin's camera since then and we've also been bugging her for camera advice and finally picked one.

We took more pictures last night than we did the day Chloe was born! :) It's an SLR camera so it can take pictures really fast - important with Miss-I-Never-Sit-Still Chloe :)

It's fun to use and takes some great pictures:
yes, this is a Merry Christmas bib....but it was laundry day :)

This is what happens when you ask Chloe to say "cheese" for the camera

pretty good grip on that crayon! :)

We've been busy this week with activities in the morning. I'm trying to switch Chloe over to one nap a day - sounds crazy, but up until this point she was still taking two 2-hour naps a day! Then, last week she started singing and talking during her afternoon nap instead of sleeping. So I thought maybe we'd try switching to just one....seems to be working okay so far!

My next post will be about Chloe at 18 months! Hard to believe she's a 1 1/2 year old! :)

Awww...great pics! That is awesome that Chloe was taking two 2-hour naps until now. I agree we need to arrange a visit sometime soon!

Wedding!

Congratulations to the new Mr. and Mrs. Martin! :) We attended Natalie and Dallas' wedding on Saturday and had a lovely time. We know both the bride and groom from college....and just happen to be great friends with the bride's parents as well (Hi Bill and Doreen!). Here is the new couple - Natalie looked beautiful, and Dallas looked pretty good too ;) Here I am with the bride - check out her BLUE shoes! No wedding is complete without a little dancing and singing....particularly to Livin on a Prayer....Steve, Jeff, and Kevin sang at the top of their lungs and performed an air guitar solo: even the bride joined in: We had a great time! I'm thinking of the honeymooners.....kind of wishing I was on a tropical island somewhere too! :)

Baby Pool

Want to guess when Baby #2 is going to arrive? Post a comment, or send me an email, with your guess and I'll add you in! As a review, here are the rules to the game (taken from Heather Deterding!): 1. Post your guess for the baby's arrival in the "comment" section. Be sure to specify both date and time of day -- either "am" or "pm". 2. Limit one guess per person, and only one entry per time slot-- no sharing! 3. Winner is determined based on time of birth. For example, if the baby is born on April 20th at 7 AM, a guess of "April 20th, AM" would be the winner. In the event that there is no entry for the correct arrival time, the next closest guess based on actual time of birth would win. 4. We will post entries on the Calendar above. Check prior entries before placing your guess! Dates not displayed on the calendar above are still up for grabs. 5. The winner will receive... bragging rights and a congratulatory post h
