Richmond Easter Parade..."it takes all kinds!"

Its Easter time and what do we do...we go the the Richmond Easter Parade! The parade of people and dogs. First we stop at "Gucci" Arby's for some of good eats before the parade. Nice to meet you Hollywood!

Sweet peanut eating away!

All ready to go!

Our most favorite friends around...man, we miss this family but Richmond misses them too!

Hydrate, hydrate...man, it hot!

Daddy, the water pusher.

I look at her and my heart swells...I love this girl. She brings so much laughter, love, smiles and silliness...we dont appreciate it enough.

Girlie #2...hammin' it up as usual.

Ready to go as usual...squirmy worm.

My love...Look at this face!

Even the dogs get dressed up!

Tea party anyone? When was the last time anyone saw a care bear?!

Art in the streets...

Nice hats! Check out the platforms...on him!

See ya...and our day was done and we were on our way out...

...until we spotted a rabbit! Wow! As we said...it takes all kinds!

Till next year...

Mrs. Personality

These are some of the shots that we have taken of Reiss, in an effort for her not to be the forgotten 2nd child. She is budding everyday and it has been great to see the personality unfold and see the toughie baby start to disappear... On one of our Saturday trips to Richmond (for Watson's grooming) we decided to take in one of our favorite spots...University of Richmond. We walked the lake and fed the geese, and I managed to get some SWEET shots of Reiss and her dad. Man, they are cute!

All of our fellow U of R friends will recognize this spot...just between dhall and the chapel. Look at that face...pure delight!

These were long ago posted on fb but I wanted to share with all my non-fb friends. This outfit was a gift from a good Richmond friend and one spring day I pulled it out to see if it fit and I was glad I did.

I love my baby doll, no really I love her!

Look at my moves! I really think this is one of my favorite shots of her...what a ham!

WHAT!?! This is Harper's babydoll...forget her then!Is this really how you potty train your monster...I think not!

What's so great about these potty books anyway and who reads this much in the bathroom?! The books are gone for now but they will return one day. Reiss your turn is coming...don't you worry!

Has your baby ever slept like this...it can't be comfotable, can it?!

9 month devotion to Reiss

Reiss turns 9 months, we can't believe it (in actuality, Reiss is a 1 year old but I am trying to keep my slow steady pace to catch up). I hope that one day these girls will forgive me for posting pictures of them half naked on this blog but this is the only time it will ever be acceptable, right? You have to appreciate this baby goodness while you can. Reiss and all her goodness! We even got to come all by ourselves, big sister Harper got to have a nice playdate with a friend. It is a sad state of affairs to have a date with Reiss be her 9 month check up!Reiss and her disappearing bottom lip.As always Dad does not miss a check up. Do they look alike or what?! Let us tell you about our Reiss...I like to scream! REAL LOUD...

I like to have a hand in EVERYTHING...

I like to sing....LA, LA, LA!

I like to rub my belly...

I am happy...

I love to smile...

I like to taste test anything I can...

I love my toys...

...especially anything my sister has! Oh, life of a little sister.
