ready for her closeup

beyond ready ... annie had her 1 year "close ups" and other assorted portraiture done back in march. technically they were her 13.5 month pictures, but for the second child, it was pretty close!

we've been waiting with baited breath for the photos to be ready ... the photographer is still editing ... and while we haven't received them all, we did get a preview.



if they're like this, we can't wait to see the rest!

Law and Order

Yesterday, Jack had a playdate with Riley, one of his best buds from school. He came home with more than good memories -- two whole sheets of Spiderman stickers!

So we ran around the house pretending to shoot webs from our wrists and swing from building to building. After a while, I pretended to accost a bad guy. "I'm going to catch him, Jack!"

"WAIT!," Jack shouted. "I can throw a brick at his face!!"

I said that I was thinking that we could capture the bad guy, turn him over to the appropriate authorities, ensure that his Miranda rights were read and that he had a fair trial with access to competent legal representation. But maybe the brick would work, too.
