I would be a mermaid fair;
I would sing to myself the whole of the day;
With a comb of pearl I would comb my hair;
And still as I comb’d I would sing and say,
“Who is it loves me? who loves not me?”

- Alfred Lord Tennyson

For some reason, I find this picture of Carter hilarious. She's walking around the front yard with her purse, and chatting on her toy cellphone. The funniest part about it is that I have no idea where she's getting it from - Lori doesn't use her cell phone except for emergencies.

Ever since we lost Paige, Sean has been becoming more and more affectionate towards Sadie. Here he is giving her a good belly rub out in the yard.

I found this photo on the camera today - it is Carter and I planting the trees that were the wedding favors at Andi's wedding. Sean has never been super-interested in planting anything, but Carter always joins me whenever I put anything in the ground, without fail. Once she's a little older, I think I might build a little raised bed for her to have her own little garden, and let her choose for herself what she'll plant.

I let Carter take the camera for a while at the wedding, at she was walking around our table taking a portrait of each person. They actually came out pretty decent, don't you think?

The kids were completely amped to dance at Auntie Andi's wedding. Even before dinner, they were out on the dance floor breakin' it down. Sean was all over the dance floor, tearing it up. I showed him a video on youtube a few weeks ago of people breakdancing, and he's been convinced that his dancing ability knows no equal ever since.

Well, it's official - my little sister got married yesterday. Congratulations, John and Andrea Meyer! Here are some photos from the wedding.

I found this photo on the camera this morning. I don't either of us knew it was being taken, which I think is what I like about it - it feels like a captured moment. It seems to be the type of picture that Carter will look at someday when I'm gone, and remember her Daddy.

While I was in Baltimore for work, Lori had Ryan sleep over one night. As it got on near bedtime, she asked the kids to put on their pajamas, and then went upstairs for a minute. On her way back down the stairs, she heard all kinds of giggling - and this was the scene she came across once she reached the kitchen.

Nothing specific here - just a trio of cute pics.
