    Overdue for a Photo Thread NDR (TheDogHouse)

    I realized I never came back and posted the Fall pictures I promised.  Plus there's been so much since the last post that I have TONS more to share.

    First things first, all of us last Fall at PennMar Park:

    The kids:

    Just Hannah (we've decided to stop getting the school pictures and just make sure we get a good one of just her that we can substitute for them):

    Hannah always tells me to show people this picture.  She thinks its hilarious.  Aaron was so excited for his baby-food one night that he'd throw his hands up, fingers splayed and vibrate them while going "EEEEEEeeeeeEEEEE!":

    Opening a Birthday present:

    And of course the cake smash:

    MMMMmmm cake is sooo good!:

    It wouldn't be Christmas w/o cookies:

    Or seeing Santa:

    Or getting presents! (Hannah had some crazy bed-head going on):

    Hannah's Birthday haul a few days later:

    For awhile Aaron had this obsession w/ getting in containers.  I have several pictures like this:

    I took advantage of Aaron sleeping on the couch to bury him under his new cloth diapers when they came in.  They are so stinkin' cute!:

    The before, during, and after of Aaron's first haircut:

    Its tiring to be a Doodle, I think I'll just put my head down for a minute.... :

    Every year our Community Center has a Daddy/Daughter dance.  I'm told it's a good time:

    We were supposed to get Spring pictures, but after confirming the day before, the photographer never showed and blocked me on FB.  We decided since we were already there & dressed we'd get a few shots on our own.  (And I would just like to say, pictures LIE!  Most of the pictures I kept were snapped w/in minutes of Aaron having complete meltdowns & Hannah squinting at the sun):

    For Easter, Grammy & Grandpa got Aaron his first motorcycle:

    Last night Aaron decided to sit and watch TV with me (ok, it only lasted about 5 seconds before he was on the move again) and it just struck me how much older he looks!  He just got his 2nd haircut on Mother's Day and OMGG its adorable, but he looks so much more grown up.:

    Steph, those are some great pics! You have a beautiful family! And I can't believe Aaron is so grown-up looking. Where has the time gone?

    • Gold Top Dog

    Yes, you have a beautiful family!  I look just like Aaron when I eat cake and my hair often looks like Hannah's bed head hair, even after I've "fixed" it. lol  

    That last picture of Aaron really does make him look so much older!  Such beautiful kids. :)

    Thanks for the pictures!  I love them!

    What a great batch of photos!  I second (or third) the comments about how grown up the kids look -- and I love the first one of all of you together with that beautiful landscape backdrop.  

    Aaron will soon learn that you never want to waste even the tiniest piece of chocolate cake by smearing it on your face and missing your mouth!  When I see a chocolate cake in front of me, I react very similarly to his "baby food glee" photo!  Big Smile

    Thanks for sharing those, Steph.  I miss seeing all the photos we used to see now that everyone moved to Facebook and I'm not on it!

    LOL Tracy, I feel like doing his "food glee" impression a lot of times.  I'm a big fan of food :D

    That park is really pretty, it's kind of a pain to get to, so we don't go often, but its always fun.  DH and I were actually going to get married there (just a few steps away from where that top picture was taken)  we'd even reserved the pavilion but then we had to delay it b/c of DH's divorce being initially denied.

    Thanks everyone, I think they're pretty great too :D
