Easter Babies

Wow, I guess I haven't posted here in a while! So while they're still current, here I am with our Easter pictures. Both kids looked adorable although a certain little boy didn't want to look and smile at the camera. Half the neighborhood could probably hear our front yard photo session that went something like this... "Peter, look up. Look at me. Straight ahead, I'm right in front of you. Look at the camera. Smile! Please? You aren't going to get to eat your chocolate if you won't look a the camera. Please smile." Liberty was a bit more cooperative in her adorable pink and white dress, which was her mommy's first Easter dress in 1986.

Wow he looked at the camera!

The bunny is called Carrot Patch Pete

Liberty got a Finding Nemo bath book

Baby bunnies!

Peter was thrilled by the puzzle from his Easter basket

Christmas, Continued

I can't believe that it's already February and I never finished posting the Christmas pictures!! Better late than never, I guess, so here they are. And a very belated Happy New Year to everyone!

Tired baby...

...worn out from an exciting day!

Christmas Eve Eve

No, that's not a typo. These pictures are from the eve of Christmas Eve, December 23, when we celebrated Christmas with most of the Parker family. Of course, we have very few pictures of Peter actually looking at the camera since he seems to have some sort of moral objection to having his picture taken. *grin*

The Parker Family Elves

It's that time of year again, and Elf Yourself is back! Each year, they add new dances so we tried out a few different ones for your enjoyment...

Hip Hop Elves

Thanksgiving 2009

We had a great Thanksgiving with family, followed by insane Black Friday shopping at 4 AM. So that we could shop early, Peter stayed with Papaw and Mamaw and had his first real sleepover (technically he had a sleepover at Uncle Jeremy and Aunt Jen's the night Liberty was born, but that was only half a night) away from Daddy and Mommy.

Cousin Taryn, Peter, and Liberty... of course no one wanted to look at the camera or smile

Mamaw got these coordinating dresses for the girls - aren't they adorable? :)

Liberty, Cousin Zach, and Peter

Look at her wee white patent leather shoes!

Fall Happenings

Here is a random assortment of pictures from this fall. Peter's birthday and party photos are not included because I plan on posting them separately, soon (that's the plan anyway).

The first two photos were taken at Red Robin on Christi's birthday:

Liberty is now learning to play with toys!

Yup, that's Peter eating out of the peanut butter jar (it was almost empty)!

Peter's first time eating cotton candy - naturally he loved it!

This boy does not like looking at the camera...

Our little pumpkin and wild tiger!

The cousins together (refusing to pose, of course)... Taryn is a butterfly

Peter helping Mommy cook

This is actually a doll stroller! Perfect size for Peter to push Liberty in, but it wasn't very stable.

That's a calculater that Peter thinks is a cell phone. He placed it on Liberty's ear so that she could talk!
