just one

here is the one lonely picture from this week. I am having a hard time mastering skin tones for eliots skin. he is just too fair (wonder who that came from, lol), and my difficulty is really showing here (ISO 400, 1/60, natural light no flash). So, I have enrolled in a photography class (over the internet) that will hopefully help me with my more glaring issues. I am excited! My friend Leah took the class, and her pictures have improved immensely (though I must say she started as a better photographer than I did). So, hopefully we will see some better pictures of the boys soon!

midday and this afternoon

eric carle museum

We went yesterday to the eric carle museum http://www.picturebookart.org/Home and watched a production of 'the musicians of bremen' as well. It was the boys first experience with the theater, and James now has the bug lol. Eliot was not a fan lol. We had a fantastic day, I am so glad we went! I got some pictures of my boys in front of a few of the large carle paintings.

happy Easter!!

james is still anti-paparazzi. I had to encourage him to smell my orchid to get any of him alone at all. And bribe him with holding his brother. Literally every other pic of him is crying lol. Poor kid. We made resurrection cookies yesterday, and opened the 'tomb' (aka the taped shut oven) this morning. They are really good! We had to substitute the pecans due to James' allergy however.

super cute vest

this was knit by my friend kim, who has kindly shared with us a lot of the knits her son has outgrown. You can see Eliots teeth here too :)

I am glad

that the AAP is finally coming out with this:
