For One, It Means Great Pictures of The Children

Our favorite photographer friends, Jaron and his sweetheart Angelina(aka: Angel, aka: the sweetest human being on planet earth...no really, and she has a New Zealand accent so, win win basically)were here for the past four days and we had fun showing them how crazy life is with three littles. It's crazy. Really crazy.

And now they know.

They were in our region of the country so they drove to Rochester and did all the corporate head shots for Jeff's firm for all of 2 hours and the rest of the time they were hanging out with us and chasing our children and neighbor children-Emily, don't be alarmed at the sight of some random man playing with your children, that's just Jaron;) And they took beautiful photos of it all.

Why can't every day be captured by photographer friends who are as excellent with their cameras as they are with children? Why?

More to come, some involving wildlife and nature and the lake and crazy children(always crazy children).

I wonder if I had Esq. draft up a decent looking proposal(complete with fine print?) to have them come live in the "play room" and document our lives everyday for food and good company(that company being me and Jeff of course)if they would go for it?

It's as if Jaron's eyes are saying he's already had the exact same idea.

I'm A Queen, Not A Drag

I am a guest blogger over at the always hilarious team boo's

"Don't Be A Drag, Just Be A Queen" Series.

See for yourself and get reacquainted with an old familiar (make-uped) whoopsy vaisey (body) face.

Plan to stay a while and get to know Carolyn the "queen boo" and team boo author herself. And don't forget to watch her sweet vids, they rock.

The Hapa LAB

Enzo's celebrates turning 3 with a Garden Party

While I organize the nooks and crannies, check out this already organized person I am distantly related too. She is Julie Estrada and she is the sister-in-law of my sister-in-law.

She can be seen here at Hapa LAB embarking on a Montessori adventure with her sweet 3 year old Enzo while still holding strong to her days as a designer. She comes up with lots of clever and design conscious ways to get your preschooler to tidy up and is mastering the art of cultivating Enzo's desire to learn.

I wish I were more like Julie.

I like Julie, and I think you will too.
