So happy together

I may look a little pregnant or something in this picture... but be at ease- I am not... my shirt is just doing something strange.
If you were to walk into my kitchen after dinner... this is probably what you'd see.

Geni makes THE best faces. Geni Geni Geni. What a girl. SHe is WONDERFUL!!!!!!!!!!!! Can I even put enough exclamations on? She sleeps from 9 pm to 5 am. WOW. SHe only cries when she has a real problem, like from hunger, dirty diaper, or gas- and those are things that really do need fixing- so I can't blame her for that. :)
It's not that I love her more by any means... but I just REALLLLLYYYYY appreciate her good nature, cuddles,smiles, coos, and sleeping while we are going through this rough spot with Mel. It's not easy being two!!!
I love Mark. I always have. I loved him before I knew him and it just keeps growing and maturing. He is a GREAT dad. I wish all children had fathers who were so doting, patient, and playful- and that all mother's had such equal partners. I chose well. :)
If you walked into the living room in the evening right before family scripture study, this is what you'd see. :)

On a Sunday afternoon- you'd see something like this taken place in the kitchen. :)


For the record, I am VERY happy ... even while I'm tackling/wrestling/bribing and who knows what else to get Mel to let me change his diaper... well mostly happy anyway. :)
I'm not kidding folks...it's not fun. Well... sometimes it is :) but in a "I'm going to kill you !!!!!!" kind of way. :) I need to do a post on Mel soon. I can't believe all that he can do these days.
I really love moment pictures. These were some from Father's Day... but they could have been taken any day.
Life is wonderful- God is real.


Remember Me???

Looky looky! The coat I made when Mel was.... six months maybe ... finally fits!!!! Though of course he hates it... and it is summer... and after all... it IS made from grocery bags and newspaper bags... meaning it is stiff and crinkly-NOT comfortable. But still... go Britta! Look how awesome it is!



Mel is jumping in this one. :) He REFUSED to hold still a minute and smile. Oh well.

Geni Smiles for the Camera!

Geni looked so adorable for church yesterday, we just had to have a little photo shoot... and sometimes you just get lucky!!! She was actually smiling!!!
This one is my favorite. Doesn't she look sweet?
