lots of new pics...

So things are still very crazy. The business license has been gotten, our tax number stuff done. We have the paint for the inside and outside of the truck but need more that 2 days without rain to do it and that has not happened in over a month.

I love rain though so I m far from complaining.

We still have a TON to do and I go days without even logging online. Still in dial-up hell but hopefully not for too much longer, still waiting on that.

Both kids are doing well except for one thing. My lil one is teething at 12 weeks. I am so frustrated for her. She is so gone I actually had to go get bibs (first time ever really needed) and teething stuff she is so miserable. The worst part is at this young she can't do cold at all so I can't offer to cold washcloth or frozen bite toys.

Other than that we are good. Bliss has a kids triathlon this weekend which is an adorable thing where I can even push him on his bike, which you know I will be having to do.

Here are recent pics.




OK you tell me between this one and the one below, what color are her eyes???


See? It is hard to say!!


He is still melting me daily and just ADORES his sister. Sometimes he wakes her because he is kissing her so much.


This is the camp counselor that is Bliss' kindred spirit. He is just 16 and they play Star Wars and Sonic make believe all day together, he even comes over to play Gamecube with Bliss every Monday. He is very sweet and very tall.



I charged this up and Bliss got to drive it around a few days back. He was pretty shocked how he didn't really fit anymore. It cracked me up and made me sad all at the same time. But ya gotta love the naked driving!!!




He went off the diving board WITH NO LIFE JACKET AT ALL on his second lesson. He amazes me. He says she was helping him and that was why he was ok but she really wasn't. He just hasn't figured out yet he can fully swim, but he really can way more than he thinks.

He made a great splash too.



This is a cute shot and shows the adorable blanket Michell made for Soul.



She loves to stand, has since she was born really but it amazes me how strong she is. Here I give you standing tree pose.


This is her very first dress of any kind my best friend from California sent to her. It is so adorable and the pantaloons are huge but perfect. Note the drool, it is constant these days.


I still haven't gotten a Bumbo yet (**cough** please mail it soon **cough**) so I pulled out the exersaucer. I then found out one spring went missing in the move so I called the company and asked to have one sent but they have stopped making those springs so I had to order 3 new legs and three new springs, which arrived and I cleaned it and put it together and she was overwhelmed in about 2 minutes. It became very clear very quickly she is not ready for it yet so back away it went. But she looks cute in it, this was taken about a minute before the meltdown.


This is truly my favorite recent picture of Soul. It just shows her preciousness off so well. Note please at 12 weeks she is standing on her own except one finger by me. I have a feeling she will be crawling and walking even earlier than Bliss did and he was walking at 9 months. I am in for it!!!

OK all for now, sorry so long between posts and so sorry I am so behind on reading and catching up. I have over 300 and something to read on my RSS feed but it is too hard this next couple weeks. Please know I will get to them and be commenting again soon and as soon as I have high speed again watch out!!!


Mel I miss you my strawberry friend!!!

I miss you too. Grey eyes? They look sort of grey, and stormy, and beautiful.

Cajun Cutie said...

Love the pantaloons!! She is so cute and remarkable. Good luck with all the excitement.

Billy said...

That is amazing how she is standing!
Hope Bliss does well in the triathlon (and that you don't have to push too much..)
And the blanket - very cute!

She is so cute. Eyes look kind of hazel to me? Love the ones of her standing.
That pic of Bliss in the fire truck is pretty cute too.

Am back from holiday and catching up. I love the photos. I love the SoulBliss Lunch Box. I love Bliss and his naked driving. :)

Jess said...

The pictures are beautiful! The kids look so much alike! I can't believe Soul is standing in that picture...omg! You seem happy and settled and that is wonderful!

sacredandscarred said...

She looks rather a lot like her brother, doesn't she?

Soul is gorgeous, she looks so much like Bliss. They must be so much fun.

Shannon said...

You have beautiful, darling children!

And where do you find the time to do so much? Starting a business, swimming, camp.... I'm exhausted just reading this! :)

Neenie said...

I AM SO BEHIND!!! I owe you from Baby Soul's fart video (which was HYSTERICAL) to NOW!!! And...
And...
And...
And...

Bumbo is in the hands of the US Postal Service!!! I am the worst Bumbo handler of all time and even though baby Soul is like 30, she'll get good use out of it! I AM SO SORRY and I even made a T-shirt that says "I SUCK" as punishment.
Your babies are gorgeous Bleu- more comments to come

Ashley said...

That's pretty close to Evie's eye color, which is currently a grayish brown. Most people call it brown and I'm certain she'll be a rich brown in a few more weeks.

The baby's beautiful!

I am so terribly behind on all that is going on with you. Lots of stuff going on here, so I've been out of the loop. Anyway...

"I love rain..." Heh. Spoken like a true Californian. Let's talk in a year.

Your babies are so gorgeous and I really do love how well you rock that buzz cut. It's such a great look for you.

Hope that the lunchcart is a huge success. You know "street meat" is all the rage down here. In fact, I just read a huge piece about it in the NYTimes.
