for new years eve we went out to my sister alissa's for games and yummy food and family time. it was a great time, and our kids love their cousins. love, love, love. cousin arianna got a new baby stroller for christmas, and she and jacob both thought it was the best thing in the world to push jacob around in it.
and here's the whole crew. arianna's got jacob and joshua's got enzo. this was the only way they'd do the picture--they wouldn't let their siblings hold them. aren't they cute though? and all in their jammies--we put our kids to bed at their place, so that we could stay until the ball dropped.
our vacay was wonderful, and we were happy to spend it in our own cozy little home, with lots of friends and family around. now it's back to the grind. i'm back in school, joshua's back in school, we've all been sick...the joys of january.
now, i confess we had been without camera for a good few months, rellying solely on the photos emailed by those of you generous enough to do so. however, josh investigated and told santa to get us this new, wonderful little power shot camera, which santa was so kind as to do. so now we're up and running. unfortunately, we're a little rusty on the point-and-click habit familiar to so many parents. and i have a slight camera aversion that i'm trying to overcome. something about wanting to live life, instead of just taking pictures of it. and, in all honesty, i'm still trying to figure out how to get my money's worth from this high-tech machine that fits in the palm of my hand. we'll get there mom, and soon you'll have more photos than you can stand!

Great pictures Janell. I love to see the kids. They are so darn cute. I am very happy that you have a new camera!
Hey, cute blog! It's fun to see your kids and hear about what you're up to. I'll have to put you on my links list. Check out our blog at b2wright@gmail.com.
YES, you guys are so cute, i can hardly handle it!
Yeah, so glad you put the kids up, i wanted those on there, which is why you got your own post. i think i'll move it to our links post, now...
i didn't know you didn't have a camera for so long! i had the same philosophy about cameras for a long time and didn't take one with me on my first backpack trip to SE asia, and there is something to it! my memories there are more lucid than any other trip. i think it's because i never had to pull myself out of the most poignant moments to get the camera. but your kids might wonder if you cared about them if they grew up and no pictures existed, plus we get to see them, so snap away!
Holy smokes, you guys kept busy during the holidays.
I'm kinda sad you got a camera, now you don't need me take pictures of those cute little boys!
Your kids are adorable!! I love to see how they are growing up!! And I always love to read what you have to say...I enjoy your passion for life...you always have it....it made for a wonderful roommate!!
