My boy turned seven last month.  We held off on our photos until our trip to Seattle, where we found a couple of gorgeous spots.  And he tolerated me......with his brand new Superman in tow.

We have a few days of vacation left.....I'm still hoping to capture one of his missing / loose toothed smiles.

Lily was showing me her middle finger and that it didn't have an "owie" on it anymore.  As in giving me "the finger".  Then she said "Do you want me to show you how to do this?  You put one finger down, two finger down, three finger down, four finger down, and six finger up.  Now, do you want to try Mama???"  Me "Ummmm…no thanks."  

I've been a terrible winter blogger....here's another beautiful family (and one that is very special to me) from the fall:

My phone rang as I was shopping with my 3 kids for frozen pizzas and a GF Easter treat for Hank since he missed out on one earlier in the day.  Picture me, distracted....kids asking for multiple treats plus trying to hear the person on the phone.  Lily turns around with her hand covering her mouth.  Do you think she might be feeling sick?  No.....not my Lily girl.  That's her signature "I'm eating something I know I'm not supposed to" look.  Like I wouldn't ask her why her hand is over her mouth.  Looking just past her.....I see a bag of Eggies with a hole in it.  Shocked.  That my child would just eat candy that doesn't belong to her.  Insert sarcasm.  I give her the usual "we can't eat anything unless we buy it" spiel, turn to talk to the boys and who do you think leans forward to try and take one more (with her mouth) out of the bag???  So now guess who's sitting here eating that darn bag of Eggies.............they'll be gone by tomorrow, I'm sure.

Here's my good friend's beautiful family.....from last fall.
