Too much

There is too much to post on right now, so I'm picking one little thing, because it's 11:57pm, and I should have been in bed 2 hours ago.

A couple weeks ago I got together with some of my girlfriends from highschool and we had a picnic, all oldschool on blankets under trees with sandwiches, strawberry shortcake and lemonade. It was delish, the babies were beautiful, fun and good when they weren't cranky, and I had a ball.

I love getting together with these ladies. We've all kind of gone our own seperate ways, but it is such fun when our worlds are brought back together once more for an afternoon, especially when our numbers are increasing thanks to littles, and when the get-togethers are made all the more joyous with pregnancy announcements (not me, I promise.)

That being said, most of the pictures I took were of the babies, so I'm just going to post a few of the good ones here.

"And who might you be??"

Loving the face Anne is making

Anne and her beautiful daughter, Eden.

Bashful Eden, who like to stare at my big camera, but was otherwise generally content to not smile.

Sweet girl.

Couldn't get enough of her!

And neither could Elijah, apparently! I LOVE this above photo...it's my background right now.

Ohhh how that smile unhinges me!

I had a great time, and part of me wishes that I had the camera out more, but then, I was busy eating, taking care of Eli, and spending time relaxing. So oh well.

Coming up soon: posts on Elijah's MRI, home renovations, and general updates.

But first, before I finish, I have to take note of the date. Elijah is officially (well, I guess now that it's after midnight, it's not so officially...) 6 months old. I have a 6-month old. That's not sounding so young anymore! He's getting bigger and bigger. He's rolling deliberately and frequently. He loves standing. He laughs at the silliest things, and when he's in his carseat and happy he scrunches up his shoulders so that all his neck fat goes to his face, and then, he beams. Like, with his whole soul, he just GLOWS. Cutest. Thing. Ever. I need to capture it on camera!

And now, for bed. I wouldn't be going to bed so late if Matt wasn't still up playing Starcraft 2, which came out today. I have one hooked husband. 

And I keep finding more to say. Good night!
