Here we have a shot from Ryan of me with all three of my pooches. Sammy always looks at Ryan with that suspicious glare and worried wrinkle between her eyes.
I was telling Carrie on the phone last night that Sophie's absolute favorite thing in the world right now is her beanie-baby sized army of stuffed animals that she calls her "pets." She methodically lines them up for tea parties, meetings along the wall in the hallway, and in this case, a picnic in the living room on one of my dishtowels. She also sat watching TV and pulling faces, most of which involved contortions of her tongue that I thought only the giraffe could do. She's still a sweet baby, though, even when she's covered in sticky goo on her face.

Korben sort of skipped the "stockings first" rule and went right for the green-wrapped Santa presents. "It's the speeding guy from Justice League, just what I always wanted," he shouted.











Sophie moved with slightly more moderation, and enjoyed not only her presents, but watching Korben open his, as well.













Korben opening some gifts from Grandma's dogs - monsters and cars to fight each other!
















Sophie chilling out with the only thing she really wanted for Christmas - a candy cane.

Old Photos: July 7, 2007

Korben wrote me this letter all by himself a few weeks ago. :)


I made the kids a fort of couches and blankets to try to get them to take a nap one day in June.


Audrey's daughter, Meena, sacked out at the recital.


If you wondered why I don't post a lot of pictures anymore, this is why - they won't hold still for them.


Sophie's more likely to hold still, but only if she doesn't know I'm taking pictures.


She's a cave-woman.


Sophie refused to be in the picture unless I was, too... But here's this year's obligatory 4th of july photo of the kids.

Last year's picture for comparison - last year they were 1, 2, 3, and 4. Now they're 2, 3, 4 and 5! :D


Walking to the golf course...


Korben adopts his traditional 4th of July stance.


Oooh! It's started!


Sophie cheered and clapped in the beginning.


But then she got scared and had to sit on my lap.


Eventually, she even laid down.


Meanwhile, Korben and Becky shared a chair, and Korben tried to keep me from taking his picture with his foot.

So there are some pictures!!!
