Spring is kicking my butt. Dancing, baseball, school musical, and looming end-of-the-year projects and pageants are keeping me hopping.
I want to write about lots of different things, but for tonight I still have three baskets of laundry to fold. So you get an exciting melange of old photos that I pulled off of my iPod. I have largely turned the iPod over to the kids, so I was surprised by some of these shots.
Plus, there are two movies! One is an 11 second movie that one of my children took when I was hugely pregnant with Septimus. And the other is Baby in her beloved exersaucer.
I love finding these kind of candid pictures. There is nothing better to remind me that although my days are long, the years are very short indeed.
Name that baby . . . It's Mopsy!
Francie practically looks like a toddler here.
Suuuuuper closeup courtesy of Bun -- thank goodness it's blurry!
Fiver, sans glasses
Rob and Bun, avec glasses
Bun and Mopsy in a crib. It feels like eons have passed since either
one was in a crib.
The one and only Bun
Look deeeep into my eyes

Baby as a baby!!
Baby was such a chub - I always forget that!
Thousand mile stare
Darth came over for Christmas dinner
(this was all the fun I missed in the hospital)
Baby is not happy --
she should call me maybe.
This shirt is Mopsy all over, little and fierce.
Got to love Shakespeare.
What? I'm just chilling out.
Trying to eat my hands . . .
Oh all right, I know you're dying for a smile.
Don't say I never gave you anything.
And this is one of my favorites. She used to do this all the time:
Oh my goodness- you give such a mom-expression in that video...I think I make that same face several times a day (somewhere between exasperated but also amused- the mom version of an eye roll maybe?) And the exersaucer while nodding off- hilarious! Love the random shots...I think it's cool to see these little snapshots of life. Days are long but years are short- so very true.
Hahahahahaha!! I love that exersaucer video! How did you stand to be right there and not bust out laughing? It's fun to look at the pictures kids take--a little window into their world.
Your videos are private - what a tease!
ReplyDeleteYou look like a kid in those pictures! Love them all :)
Duh, forgot to change my setting for the blog. Come back in a bit to see them! :)
DeleteOkay, the videos should be good to go now! Let me know if they aren't.

ReplyDeleteThat last video is a hoot! That would totally make it on America's Funniest Home Videos!
ReplyDeleteYour mom face is goooood. It made me feel guilty instantly.
