My Two Kids.

A lot of people have said that Noah looks just like Ali.

I totally saw it in their baby pictures…

But until this I took this photo, I couldn’t see the current-day resemblance…

..yes, there’s no doubt that they belong together.

Laughing, 2.0

Just in case you're as endlessly entertained by baby laughter as I am...

Orphaned Photos – Pre-Spring Version.

Ali, playing on the very same Homewood Park Caterpillar that Chris and I played on as kids:

IMG_1796 …apparently, it’s one of the few playground items from our childhood that hasn’t been banned for lawsuit prevention.

On missions night in Cubbies, Ali went as a Chinese girl. I tried to straighten her hair. It didn’t work so well.

Noah being charming as always.

If I had known how delightful a happy baby was,

I might not have waited four years.

(Sorry Ali. I love you immensely, but in the happiest-baby contest, Noah wins by a landslide.)

(But don’t worry. He’d have to be pretty close to perfect to beat you in the toddler category.)

Attempts at photographing my two kids…

Eh. Forget it. I’ll just keep photographing them separately.

Ali got a hair cut. When wet, her hair was all the way down to her waist.

(She wanted to grow it long enough so that she could accidentally tee-tee on it…but I wasn’t too excited about that idea.)

Before and after:

After her salon pampering, she felt quite glamorous…

We went to the Botanical Gardens last Saturday (along with half of the city – the other half was next door at the Zoo…)

Ali loved all of the “Japanese Cherry Possums”…

IMG_3673

And always likes to get her picture taken at the bridge on which Gramamma and Pop got married.

She “allowed” me to take a few more pictures of her…

IMG_3680

I wish I got my eyes from her.

And, for the most graceful shot of the day…

Garden allergies, perhaps?
