When Pearl was still a tiny little thing, I found this beach hoodie at the thrift store (for $1.00!) and promptly scooped it up.

big brother on the move
Like a storm.
One minute he is standing, quietly considering his next course of action ...
The next he notices me (with the camera) and comes straight for me ...
Splashing along the shore, his mischievous smile as bright as the sun that is making its descent in the sky ...
Tee-shirt: Carter's (gift)
Jean shorts: Jumping Beans (hand-me-down)
Shoes: Disney (hand-me-down)
Words can not describe how fierce my love is for him.
My little boy.
The "big brother" of our family.

beep! beep!
All of a sudden (with no poking or prodding from us), Malcolm has become borderline obsessed with cars and trucks.
His favorite thing to do with them is carefully (and meticulously) line them up on any surface that is willing to accommodate them and then move them back and forth ... If you ask him, they are always headed to "Pa-Ma's House."
That was definitely the case at Conneaut Lake when he would tote them anywhere and everywhere.
He spent a good half hour down at the lake (ignoring the water) and just playing all by himself.
I hope this trend (of occupying himself) continues as school starts up again for the 2012-2013 school year. With two kids at home, I'm not sure how I'm going to juggle all of my different (teaching and mothering) responsibilities ... So if a growing collection of cars and trucks will give me a couple minutes of quiet, I'll certainly take it!

late day sun
I was playing around with the aperture on my camera and this is what I came up with ...

getting along swimmingly
We spent the entirety of last week at the family cottage in Conneaut Lake, Pennsylvania, so I have lots of lake-related pictures (and even a few stories) that I wanted to share.
To kick things off, here is this week's "fashion post."
I guess I should just confess that most of our waking hours at that lake are spent wearing swimwear ... Nothing quite says "summer vacation" like the absence of regular clothes (for kids and adults alike)!

Swim shirt: Old Navy (gift)
Swim trunks: Old Navy (gift)
Sandals: Disney (hand-me-down)
But when the weather is sunny and warm, and boat rides are plentiful, it doesn't make sense to wear anything else!
