This almost had to be the picture of the day

I turned on my camera, realized i didn't have any pictures from today and remarked outloud to J, "AH! I don't have any pictures for today!" and then snapped his facial response to such an atrocity.


and then, relief!
i realized i'd snapped a sweet one of Cutie Pie
on the iPhone
waiting patiently on Mimi & Poppy's couch
for me to finish packing up the car


not, of course, to say that an impromptu picture of J
wouldn't count...

;-o

Oh my head
Cutie Cakes
has a personality all her own


thank goodness because
only she could handle it all by herself!

it's pretty dynamic 
and we love it!

This little cutie
was supposed to be in Chicago today


instead, she was lucky enough to hang out with her Poppy
on my birthday
because...she and her sisters all have ear infections
Cutie Pie's being in BOTH ears
at a sadly pathetic 12-weeks of age
:'(

what a trooper!

post-doctor playground visit 
for Cutie Cakes 2-year well checkup


Poor Cutie Cakes cried from the moment we walked into the room to the moment we left. Thankfully, the stickers and the "treasure" (teeny tiny puppy dog) from the treasure tower helped cheer the cutie up in time to enjoy the playground!


Can you spy all three cuties?

today, they set up camp
in front of the door
and each read their respective "monster" books.

i love that they love to read!

If this particular cutie
takes a particularly good nap


she gets "to watch the kids sing"*
for half an hour before bed
it's kind of a fun new weekly tradition

*ie, american idol
