thousands saved!

Words, that is.  Because each of the following photos had at least vague intention of being a dedicated blog post.  And, as always, I cringe at the quality of the pictures, and resolve that Santa should bring me a groovy new camera this year.

We had a lovely Labor Day treat staying with Kate and her family at their fab cabin in NC:

First day of school. Note the single top tooth, shifted to center. I pleaded to pull it the night before, but to no avail:

Guy-camping at a local campground, a late-summer tradition:

If you closed your eyes after looking at Megan’s outfit on this day, you could still see the color contrast on the inside of your eyelids. She got a LOT of compliments/comments, and so did I:

Sisterly silliness. This Chicco train has logged enough miles for a transcontinental crossing. Definitely one of our best toy investments ever:

Okay, that’s all she wrote took. For today, at least. Hope you enjoyed the “less is more” theme.

    i’m thinking a girls weekend at the cabin–either early nov or spring. get your 2nd place relay team up there? what do you think?

      Kate – I loooove this idea! With the way Nov is shaping up I think we should plan well in advance for a spring girlz getaway. What fun!!!

    Our girls are still using the Chicco train you got us 4 years ago! Agreed that it’s one of the best toys ever!! As far as contrasting colors, I’m sure I could find many photos that match (or beat) yours! :-) At least you’re able to get lots of photos with the girls smiling and looking at the camera. I’m just finishing up a climbing cave in our basement. You guys should come over when it’s done!

      John, give us a call and we’ll stop by for some climbin’!! We’re doing FL in January again… some year we MUST coordinate. Glad the Chicco is still a hit on Mulberry Ct — cheers!

    That first-day-of-school picture alone is worth thousands of words! Sweet!

    Your daughter’s outfit reminds me of the time my 2nd girl came out in a horribly clashing get up and announced, “I almost match!”

    I love these pictures of your girls. They’ve got squeezable cuteness :)
