It seems as though I am failing at blogging each day about the pictures, but at least I am actually taking them every day.  It’s funny, now the kids kinda get what is going on.  Brook goes to the chair when I tell her it’s picture time and when I put Blake on the chair he automatically starts to smile…as if saying, “okay let’s get this picture thing done!”

The hardest part is having both of them turn out cute in one single photo.  Blake will give this great smile while Brook is looking away from the camera and Brook will cooperate, but Blake isn’t.  So, even though you only see one picture, I actually take at least ten to get the pictures that you are about to see.

I think that I will probably post them in batches like this from now on…it’s just easier.  So, here you go…

Year In Pictures - Day 15

In this picture, Brook was heading to gymnastics class, so she is sporting a cute leotard, tulle skirt combo…and also, notice the adorable onsie that Blake is sporting…My cousin Jana makes these, so if you are interested, let me know!

Year In Pictures - Day 16

Year In Pictures - Day 17

Blake is sporting the “casual” Friday look and seeing that this was a Friday…it worked out nicely.  This is the day that we all went out to dinner and as I was walking out of the restaurant, I slipped and fell and did a variation of the splits while the door closed on my foot…not my most coordinated hour.  I was holding Blake during the fall and I am happy to say that he handled it with grace…he didn’t tease me at all.  As I was falling all I thought about was to make sure that Blake wouldn’t get hurt…he didn’t and I’m still nursing a pulled ligament…it is all about the story!

A Year In Pictures - Day 18

This day was the HOTTEST day of the summer.  It was like 93 degrees with 100% humidity and we thought it would be a great day to take the kids to the State Fair.  Actually, we had a blast, we just were sweating like pigs, which in fact were at the same fair as we were!

A Year In Pictures - Day 19

Today I got the kids ready for a day at the lake, but we actually never made it there.  Brook ended up getting a fever and scared the bejesus out of us around 12 midnight.  They always do…it seems like kids only start to get sick “after hours”.  Luckily after a dose of meds, she evened out her temp and was able to get a good night sleep.  Unfortunately, Blake decided sleeping wasn’t his thing that night, so basically Travis and I were up the whole night…fun times.

A Year In Pictures - Day 20

Brook is still under the weather here and Blake is looking stylish with his new overalls that my friend Jenny bought him.

A Year in Pictures - Day 21

This last picture is from today.  Brook is going on 2 1/2 days of running a crazy high temp…but, she does great as long as we don’t miss a meds dosage.  Luckily, Blake’s immune system has been a rock and he hasn’t developed anything.  He’s still not really sleeping for the night, which is a blast, especially since Travis is out of town this whole week.  At least they are sooooo damn cute!

Week 3 done…only 49 more weeks to go!
