Vanilla Sky is 2 weeks old!

Oh, wait I mean Violet Sunset... haha. :) That just popped into my head as I thought about writing this blog post. Here she is fresh from a bath - smells lovely!

So, I will attribute my renewed sense of picture taking and media posting to the fact that I have no job outside the home these days, and no friends to call and talk to during normal daylight hours. Not just cause it's a little girl, right? ;-) Everyone does these fancy pancy, adorable photos of their babies and I feel like I should too. However, it's not ever been my thing and I've no photographer friends here.  When I asked Andy his thoughts he says we don't have a nice enough camera! ((Of course he would.) This is not entirely false, but I am not going to let that stop me from attempting to capture beautiful moments in our children's lives).

Turns out there are some very simple editing tools in iPhoto (duh, right) that a completely average Jane can use. And so I have! It was fun to see some adorable pics of the babe, and I needed to take a nice one of all the kids together, so Gram can post it in the paper ~ thanks for the inspiration!

Today was also the first day in a few days that we've spent at home, no errands, so it made for a nice day to bake cookies, do some laundry and take pictures! Hope you all enjoy! xoxo.

Her FIRST Dress... 

Honey Pie with a Bow

Little Tootsies, who doesn't love those!

One final note... The boys are just as smitten with her as I am. :)

Oh, and we got a new TV finally!! Hip-hip-hooray! It does help give the boys something to do when I've got baby chores - yay for entertainment. Soon we'll get the Netflix going and that will be even better! We did get to watch Bridesmaids the other night (yes!), and the boys can finally watch the WALL-E that we bought on Blu-Ray almost a year ago! They have added Rio and Shrek to the collection as well. p.s. Did you know the intro setting in Angry Birds Rio is Moose Lake, MN!!!
