before we left

To say I’m behind is an understatement.

After connecting the camera to the laptop for the first time in almost 2 1/2 months, the word ‘behind’ seems wholly inadequate.  There are t.o.n.s. of pictures for me to sift through and a mountain of video clips.  Even after my self-imposed vacation from taking pictures.  I’ll go through them in batches and post as I go but first… some pictures from before we left (way back at the beginning of June).

First… some brotherly love…

I had them both crammed on to the changing table.  luckily they were pretty much pinned in and unable to move.

look who was barely sitting up before we left.

the drool…. the smirk…. the spiky hair… it’s all too much.

before our trip, I wasn’t even close to sitting up by myself.  while mama packed, I did a lot of jumping.

I can’t have a post without a pic of my girl.  even if it’s a lousy pic.  but I love the look of concentration.
