I've finally figured out this blog thing

So i decided that i'm just to update my flickr pages with longer descriptions, this way i don't have to post all the pictures twice and it's actually easier and more fun to write about stuff while actually looking at the pictures. So here's the flickr address:

so sorry for the inconvenience.

Sunday pjs

Le new cardboard haus

Lucy does well in tropical climates

Elliott has been seduced by the dark side

We all made it to Florida in one piece. The plane trip wasn't terrible, at one point both kids were crying but just for a few minutes and a nice flight attendant held Elliott when Lucy and I made a trip to the bathroom. 

Florida is 75 degrees and the water is just fine. Went swimming immediately upon arrival. The new JCrew bathing suit that i ordered was waiting for me, and now is waiting to be mailed back ASAP.

This morning

This is a typical Sunday morning. Mike is at work, we're in our pajamas watching morning cartoons, cereal is strewn across the coffee table.

The big birthday party for Lucy and her friends was yesterday and we're still coming down from the cake high. It was very successful, everyone had a great time, and Lucy set a world's record for most time spent bouncing in a bouncy house.

After a leisurely walk in the park today, we're packing up to go to  Florida in the early morning. My first plane trip alone with two kids. God help me!

This is our special daughter Lucy

(I like Mike's expression on his face too. ) This was from yesterday, we were leaving the zoo and Lucy had a lollipop and was "so tired" that she had to ride in Elliott's carseat on the way to the parking lot.
