Catching Up . . . Yet Again

Here are a few pictures from the past week.

Morning snuggles with Casey. :)




Mollie decided to give me lots of funny faces one evening while Natalie was watching a movie upstairs. :)












And they got to play outside in the sandbox for the first time at the new house! Natalie loves it, but Mollie won't actually step in. She refuses to get sand on her feet, so she just plays from outside . . . and makes a gigantic mess! I got a few snaps of my two beauties.

And get this!!!! After I took these, I realized that I have pictures of Natalie at the SAME age in the SAME hat and the SAME shirt playing outside!! Here are a few vintage Natalie pics




One of my very favorites of Natalie EVER!

"Ah-Side" with Natalie

I just love these photos that I got of Natalie playing "ah-side" last week. The weather was super nice and I hadn't taken her out in a while, so she really enjoyed it. She went directly into the bath afterwards, though. Sand is sooo messy!

Just for fun, I added some at the end of Natalie in July 2008 wearing the same thing. It's a shirt that my mom made her, but it can also be worn as a dress. Last year it was pretty much long enough to be a dress, but I paired it with shorts. Now it's definitely a shirt. I just love it! I love it when you can get 2 seasons out of one item of clothing! This summer, she can still wear her pillowcases dresses we made as shirts AND I'll pair them with long-sleeved white T's for Fall!

18 Months

Can you believe our little Natalie is a year and half today? Here is a photo that I took when she was 6 months old and then one that I took this morning!

What a Difference a Year Makes

I meant to do this yesterday, but it just didn't work out. Yesterday was exactly one year from Natalie's due date, and one year since this one month picture was taken! It's hard to believe that Miss Nat is 13 months old and that it's been a year since she looked like this. Well, it's actually hard to remember that she ever looked like this!
