Terrible Summer (Can't You Tell?)

Untitled
Another miserable day for Leo at camp.

Another awful day for Ellie in New York City, where she accompanied me to work (here she is after lunch on a rooftop terrace in midtown).

And yet more torture, this time it's the babies who are clearly very unhappy.

Such a shame these kids never have any fun.

Meanwhile, I'm having a hard time believing that in just a few short weeks, Ellie will be a kindergartener (Dun dun dun!) and Leo will be in third grade. We still have a big, exciting adventure/vacation (OK, it's not a "vacation" if it involves small children, but still! We're excited!) to look forward to. But first I have to pack for five people and withstand a cross country flight with twin toddlers.

I can totally drink on the plane, right?

Trip to New Orleans

So I am finally able to look at all my pictures from our trip to New Orleans, having solved the dead card reader conundrum. I admit I didn't take many pictures, and I was afraid to take any at all, for fear that there truly was something wrong with my camera.

Upon looking at this most recent set, I see that apparently all my children do is eat.

We went to the airport. We ate. We flew. We went to the hotel room and we ate some more. We came home.

Note to self: try to catch kids when they are not eating. I guess it's just easy because they are stationary when they eat. Yeah, that's it.


Waiting while Erin parked the car. Eating.


Lunch time in D.C. Those Dora alphabet flashcards Leo had were great. He was so interested in them.


I love the look on Ellie's face here. She looks...full.


Watching the planes. Leo was in Heaven. Hey, no eating!







We were all shocked when Leo fell asleep during of all things, the take-off. Just conked out.


Ellie however, did not. Here she is standing in the empty seat next to me.


Leo made himself right at home in the hotel room. He literally did a running jump onto the bed.


It was a long day. Pajama time. I fell in love with plantation shutters during this trip (see background). I have always wanted them but this hotel room sealed the deal. Someday.


And meanwhile, Ellie ate.


Another non-eating shot! This was in D.C. on our way home. Ellie made such strides in walking thist trip. Also, I remembered just how much I love the look of little girls in dresses with leggings (this was an accidental outfit--she spilled something on her t-shirt and so I threw the dress on her and she was being so squirmy I just kept the pants on). I can't wait for fall. Leggings and cute little dresses galore.

Can you believe we even went to New Orleans? I promise you we did.

Oh Happy Day


Guess who fixed the camera situation? Turns out I had a bad card reader. It was as simple as that. Birthday party photos found and to be posted soon. As well as pictures from our New Orleans trip (I didn't take all that many fearing the camera was truly broken). So it looks like all we did was hang out at the airport, fly there and eat pizza in our hotel room. Above, the hooligans waiting for our plane in DC. Stay tuned for more.
