snowfall in march {crazy}

The weather people kept telling us that we were going to get snow on Sunday but I didn't really believe them... Boy did we get snow! We still have snow on the ground three days later. And they are still predicting that it will be 70 degrees on Saturday -- which I hope for because I'm ATTENDING a wedding and I want to wear fun, spring clothes!

We ventured out to Jerry's farm to take some pictures; Henry wasn't too big on all of the clothes he had to wear, so this get-up didn't last very long...

Just long enough for Jeremy to take a picture of us and to the car we went so that we could strip down (just a little bit) and nurse for a minute.

This is the new get-up - the maya wrap - under my coat with a hat. He liked that a whole lot better!!



Everyone knows I must take a picture of my feet wherever I go...

The local Christmas tree farm



Our house!! So crazy, the amount of snow!

And, since I feel weird posting without an image, here's one from the other day:

As you look at this and laugh your head off, you're wondering how this happened, right? Well, when we woke up that morning, Henry's diaper had leaked and I'd stripped him so I could put clean clothes on. He was just so darn cute, all naked and fat, that I ran for the camera. This is what I saw when I came back in the room. I couldn't resist a snap!

sweet potatos and asparagus

Henry and I had dinner with Logan and Erin a couple of weeks ago at Longhorn Steakhouse, where we ordered a couple different meals and shared them between the three of us (those of us that consume 'real' food!). While we were waiting for our meal to come, we exhausted Henry's restaurant patience, so by the time our food was delivered, we was fussy, screechy and bored (bored being the problem!). During a stop at our table (I was walking Henry around), I grabbed a stalk of asparagus (it was the only thing I could pick up and walk with :-)) and Henry immediately grabbed for it. I thought, 'what the heck, what can he do with it, he probably won't like it', and handed him the harder end piece. To our amusement, he loved it! When I tried to take it away to give him a fresh piece (I wanted to continue to eat, and he'd totally squished/mashed the piece he had), he screamed! While we finished eating, he went through 6 pieces of asparagus, screaming every time I replaced the piece he was working on with a new one.

Tonight, I made asparagus for myself (Jeremy does not like it) and thought I would see what Henry thought of it now, a few weeks later. As you can see from the pictures, he loved it just as much tonight as he did at Longhorns!

His cute bamboo bowl and spoon! Notice the half chewed/sucked on piece of asparagus.

Unfortunately, the asparagus piece was pretty short and you can't see it, but he had it clasped tight!







We moved on to sweet potatoes for a minute...

Henry is into feeding himself. He looks for the food on the spoon and then puts it in his mouth. Pretty amazing!

He spotted me drinking and had to have some!

Wait! I wasn't done yet! More water!

Don't you just love how he holds the glass?

Back to asparagus...

hangin' out

I've been feeling bad that I don't take enough pictures on a daily basis, so I've made it my New Year's Resolution to take some pictures everyday. So, this is today's fun...



You can't imagine the nonsense I had to do in order to get a laugh.
This is my favorite! I love how his arms are blurry; he's always flinging them about!

Henry and I

My long time friend, Katherine Williamson took some photos of me and Henry this afternoon!  Kat found this awesome location right outside of town. So cool! I can't wait to use it for other sessions.

Check out some of my favorites:

this one made me giggle!

I really like this one...

and this one...

seriously cute

and, yes, I realize that this is not me or Henry, but I couldn't resist not using the camera while I was in such a pretty place!! Good image of Kat, don't you think?

nor could I resist posting this one.  Henry goes everywhere, hanging out in my Maya Wrap.

I am so glad Kat snapped this one.  Henry was fussing and I couldn't, but I love it!

jeremy, my friend

So Jeremy asked me if I would take some pics for him; he'd not had any taken in years and in return he'd take some pictures of me and Henry.  Jeremy and I went to photography school together and have shot many, many weddings together.  He's quite the photographer, although, he doesn't shoot much right now.

Henry got a mosquito bite on the bridge of his nose, and the stupid thing is swollen and huge, so Jeremy didn't take any pics of me and Henry, but no worries, I'll make him do it when the mosquito bite goes away!

I think this one is my favorite -- first shot of the day!
