After 3 years of this working parent gig, Jon and I have gotten really good at balancing the chores with the fun. Saturday while Jon was at the hardware store (getting stuff to fix our broken fence gate) I played out front with the kids and we took an ice cream break.
Can I say how much I love the Nestle Lil Drumsticks? Smaller size, less calories, perfect for little hands. Yes I know it is junk food but it is tasty tasty junk food.
It was a sweet moment, sitting in a circle with my boys, eating ice cream cones and talking about stuff. I don't remember what was said or why I decided that moment was perfect for ice cream, but these are the moments of their childhood I hope to remember: doing simple things, happy to be together.
As I looked at the pictures afterwards, I realized how much I have failed to document The Faces Of Alex. He has little need for words because he says everything with his face. Now that I am spending some time learning to edit my photos (finally!) I hope to capture those looks. This one is "The Miracle of Airplane Flight."

Tasty tasty junk food containing calcium ... which makes it hardly junk food at all. This is what I tell myself.
Amazing photos!
"The miracle of airplane flight." That just totally made my geeky day.
"The Miracle of Airplane Flight" is an awesome picture. As for junk food... we all need it every now and then.
Ah the simple things in life...the wonderment of a child and drumsticks! What a lovely way to spend some precious time.
What beautiful pictures!! I had no idea they had a mini version of those...yummm
Wow, I have to say those pics took my breath away. Did you do something do them or are you just that awesome of a photographer. Or if I get your camera, will my photos look like that?
You're coming to OHIO?! Where abouts?
Gorgeous picture!! Sounds like a perfect moment between mom and her boys!
I am being lazy and commenting here for the "laundry post" also. But don't you marvel at how people with more than 2 kids keep up with the laundry. I am at home and I struggle with a family of four's laundry.
I just love these pics! You can almost see the airplane in his eyes! Frame this one!
I love his expressions; the second one is both so cute and yet funny! :)
