Lots of Random Photos from the Last Couple of Months

James eating spaghetti at Grandma and Grandpa's house. Clearly, he takes after his daddy.

Kate thinking she is hilarious, back when James still fit into his car seat. Yeah, she had some fun with that.

Both kids trying out the new bubble bath in the new house. It has since been discontinued due to "too many bubbles, mommy!"

James sleeping on Grandpa's chest. They were both worn out from working on the farm.

James eating the first of his, ahem, four birthday cakes. He likes the icing. A lot.

James's One Year Photos & Our 2012 Christmas Card Photo Session

We have been going a million miles an hour around here, but the good news is that my semester is almost done, and Greg has a bit more regular schedule now that the holidays are approaching. Speaking of holidays, I went to get the kids' photos done for our annual Christmas card, and they turned out so much better than I expected! Notice that I said me only; Greg has somehow managed to avoid every single photo session that the kids have done for the last two and a half years. I am not quite sure how he sweet talks his way out of these grueling photo appointments, but he does! The one session he did show up for, back in May, was for our family photos. Even then, he ducked after about twenty minutes. To, ahem, mow the lawn. Every time we do this, I come out all sweaty, thirsty, and frustrated, and I always think the photos can't possibly be worth all this hassle. However, every time, I have been proven wrong. After all, look at these cuties!
