I love that little girl.

How adorable are these cross stitch portraits from Martha Stewart? I saw them on Design Editor this morning and can't stop thinking about them! I've done cross stitch a few times and would love to try this. I think I just might have found my next crafting project....

{some little things}

 Jack cracks me up in his pack and play. He loves it (he'll hang out in there for 20 minutes before he gets bored - Emma only lasted about 30 seconds when she was his age!) Here he's trying to lick the mesh.

Spring is here (or is it summer? it sure feels like it!). These beauties bloomed in my back yard this week. I love fresh flowers, especially free ones!

I found Emma in Jack's bouncer the other day. She looks so innocent, and I'm still not sure how she got in there by herself. She's going to be an acrobat some day!

Jack's been moving like crazy, and had just bumped his head on the coffee table in the top photo. He's playing safe and sound in his pack n play in the second. I think he's adorable in both :)

I got bored on Monday and decided to bake a cake. I think it turned out pretty cute (and it tasted good, too)!

Bran doesn't like having his photo taken, but he gave in for a shot with me and Jack. We went to DC with Bran's best friend (and one of my best friends, too) and his new girlfriend. We have a great time hanging out with them!

Happy first day of spring! March is giving us all it's got today with dark skies and moody winds, but I'm staying cheerful thanks to the Spring issue of Sweet Paul magazine. You should definitely check it out!

Jack is getting so big - he scoots everywhere now!

Emma loves helping Daddy work on his truck. The tires are just about as big as her!

Emma with her first cousins, once removed (thanks to Valerie for helping me figure out that one!)

Bananas are a favorite.

Free Pancake Day at Ihop - Emma ate all THREE of her pancakes before I even knew what was going on. I would have taken one (or two!) away if I knew what she was doing! But she didn't seem to get a tummy ache so I guess it was ok!

They hold hands all the time and neither of them minds it. It's really sweet, especially when they hold hands in the car. Jack will be fussing, and Emma will hold his hand and calm him down. They love each other more than I realized two babies could.

She's a goober and I love her.
