Especially for Miss Kelly

Our dear friend Kelly told me that she visits our blog from time to time to lift her spirits when she's having a rough day at the office. I think these huge and funny Curran smiles are sure to give you a smile, Kel...or even a chuckle!!


 

Unfortunately, Curran is often less than thrilled at being the lone object of Alaire's constant affection!

 

Playing with Tiny

Do you think this little girl loves her baby brother or what?! Alaire is going through typical testy-toddler stuff right now, and I sometimes feel as though all we ever do is say "No" to her and redirect her. This leads to much whining, crying, and aggressive behavior. The only person in the house not subjected to this tempermental toddler is Curran. No matter what is going on, you can count on Curran to provoke a smile, a sweet voice, and some love from his big sister. He is the light of her world! And yes, two months later she is still calling him Tiny.


 

Sweet Baby Smiles

 

Our New Kindergarten Graduate

(And her proud baby sister!)
 

Ramsey on Two Wheels

We tried this a couple years back, but Ramsey wasn't quite ready. Lately she's finally been telling us it's time to kiss those training wheels good-bye!! Daddy took them off, and before we could blink twice she was riding that two-wheeler all over the place!!
 

On a Big Girl Swing

Alaire loves having Ramsey push her on a big kid swing now rather than her baby swing! Wheeee-haaaaa!

 

So Cute in Red

I took at least a million pictures of this cutie pie just lying on the bathroom vanity after a diaper change. Curran was being so expressive and adorable that I can't choose just one, so I'm putting up a few that I love!

Two Little Zebras

 

Alaire Has Fun at Audubon Zoo!

She wasn't at all interested in looking at any animals, though! She was perfectly content spending her entire time in the playground area right outside of where her cousin Ana (seen pushing Alaire in the stroller) celebrated her 3rd birthday.

Since it's Mother's Day Week...

This seemed fitting, and they make me smile. : )


 

Christening Day

Curran was the sweetest little angel the entire time.
