My Kid is so Cute!

Emma and Taylor have become obsessed with a video on YouTube called The Duck Song.  Emma asks to watch it all the time and Taylor will drop everything to come watch it when she hears it’s catchy tune. 

So, yesterday, Emma was watching the video and I decided to get a video of her singing along.  You don’t hear her very much, but if you watch, she does lip sync the entire song.  Her facial expressions crack me up.

It’s a Hawt Mess Today

Wow.

Summer has arrived in Michigan.

Last week, we had a day that didn’t even reach 70 degrees, and today it’s 94 degrees.

To say it’s a little warm would be an understatement.

No worries, though, the kids and I are cool.  Unfortunately, keeping cool means being shut up in my bedroom all day.

It’s not so bad really.  We have tv (for the kids), internet (for me), drinks and snacks.  Oh, did I mention it’s lovely in here?  But the fact that I have a 50 pound kid jumping on my back makes me long for central air.

We’re dealing.

Although I’m starting to go a tad stir crazy.

So are the kids.

Oh well, we’ll live.

Weekly Winners June 14 ~ 20

 

Weekly Winners

June 14th – 20th, 2009

Canon Rebel XTi

This week’s edition of Weekly Winners is dedicated to my daughter, Taylor.  She’s had a really rough week.  Surgery on Monday, plus she’s been battling a nasty stomach bug for the last three days.  Despite all this, I was able to get some great shots of her (which is hard to do in a normal week).

Enjoy.

    The Day is Upon Us

    Taylor’s surgery is today. 

    She is having a hernia repaired. 

    A hernia that has probably been there all her life but wasn’t noticed at all until February. 

    They tell me it doesn’t bother her, but I think they’re wrong.

    She has a heightened sensitivity to everything due to her autism.

    They tell me that this is a “routine surgery”.

    Nothing about Taylor has ever been routine.

    I will be very happy once this surgery is over.

    To say that I am scared is an understatement.

    I am still debating on wether or not to bring my camera.

    Is it appropriate?

    This is not exactly a birthday party or a day at the park.

    I have documented so much of her life in photos…

    Is this an event I should document?

    I guess I’d better make my decision soon.

    ***

    Think about her, about us, will you?

    6 Years Ago Today…

     

    … I got married!

    wedding

    And Aaron was our Ring Bearer!

    I remember this day as if it were only yesterday.  I was 9 months pregnant with Taylor (she was born 31 days after this photo was taken.  Talk about cutting it close!).  Everything was absolutely perfect.

    Here we are, 6 years later.  I am amazed how fast the years have flown by.

    Doug and I are spending the afternoon together.  We are going to go out for lunch, shopping and a movie.  I’m excited.  =)

    I’d better go get ready, or he might leave without me!

    Happy Anniversary Doug, I love you!
