Random fun

This, my friends, is poison ivy. Columbia is lousy with the stuff. Take heed!





How hard is it to get my two babies in the same picture with happy expressions? Darned near impossible.





Amedeo's new motto: when in doubt, remove the couch cushions and strew them about the floor to make 'pig dens.' I'm starting to feel like I live with a poltergeist.




When I can pry Amedeo away from his pig dens and tv watching, mostly he wants to hang out by the stream. You know, just in case something needs to be stabbed with a stick.




You might wonder what Celeste was doing while Amedeo was doodling in the stream. Plotting her next coup?



Hey, mom! Let's play a joke on Amedeo while he's sleeping!

Long Afternoons

The days are long, but the years are short. That seems to be what is happening to us around here. Celeste naps for less than an hour all day, and for a 10 month old, that isn't enough sleep. I'm pulling my hair out trying to come up with activities for the zillions of hours that she is awake.

As you can see, Amedeo is sleeping on the couch. He never does that!!! I took them for a walk this afternoon. He passed out shortly after arriving home.




Instead of sleeping, Celeste prefers to stick pretzels into the scanner.




I suppose I can see why she isn't sleeping much. In the last two weeks, she has learned how to pull up and 'cruise' on the furniture, cut four teeth, and said her first word (cat). Maybe she'll be tired in June.
