Spit and Spot

For all those naysayers who don't think our girls look alike - look again...

Tessa's 1st Birthday

Cousin Tessa celebrated her 1st birthday today. Not the best pictures in the world - the subjects were in constant motion, but I thought I would share the few pictures I had with those in the Hallquist/Ingram clan who might enjoy them. (Didn't intentionally not get pictures of Claire, but she was very busy the whole time we were there).

Dressing Up in Style

Stitting on "Seymour Green" - our resident enormous frog 

 Watching Daddy go back to work after lunch

 Always in the middle of everything - that's what little sisters are for, right?

 Cheese (love the one sock on, one sock off)

 Believe it or not, that is just one big lunch-time yawn

 Heading home from the doctor and slap worn out

My girls are masters of looks these days - here's a doozie of one from Claire 

 Toothy grin - tell me that she doesn't look like her daddy in this picture!

 Wallowing in mommy's bed after nap - a favorite time of day

 Evie says the only thing the Auburn Cheerleader costume is missing is a hat

 It was dressup madness the other day - here's the pirate and the cheerleader/southern belle

 Evie begged to wear the tiger suit, then changed her mind

No joke, Claire says to me: "Mommy, I need something to wrap around my mouth and nose to keep the dirt and dust out while I ride my horse." She remembered that this was the function of a bandana but couldn't remember the word bandana. Amazing.

Scroll Back

I put up four or five posts all in one day, so if you haven't been on the blog in awhile, scroll all the way back! There are ultrasound pictures of Buddy that start the day's posts. Sorry for the delay and all the posts, but I just figured I better take care of as many posts as I could while I could...

Easter and Beyond

The order of these photos got all mixed up in loading, but they're all taken in the 1st two weeks of April.

 Easter Egg Hunt at Nini's house with cousin Sara

 Playing the piano with Sara

 Ready for church - the girls went with us on Palm Sunday to hear Aunt Gini sing

 At Evie's 15 month check-up. She is in the 85th percentile on weight, and 60th on height, and the doctor says Evie is her favorite 15 month old ever.

 Playtime with Daddy

 Silly sister wrestling

 Tuckered out after a trip to the farm for Easter dinner

 My girls are both wallowers. This picture was taken about a minute before she slid all the way off the chair onto her head. This being a common occurence in our house, there was no crying or anything. She just did a momentary headstand, picked herself back up and went right back to her wallowing.

 A day without swing time is wasted in Evie's opinion

Finally took Evie for her 1 year pictures to be made (yes, I know she's 15 months). We managed to get ONE picture where she was still enough and smiley enough to go with it. She just refuses to be still and wasn't very cooperative that day.

Nani Goes to the Zoo

Nani came for a visit and we went to the Montgomery zoo - something I had wanted to do before Buddy's arrival but certainly couldn't do by myself. We had a great time. Evelynn liked the rhinoceros - she giggled every time he would flick his ears. Claire had a blast with Nani in Parakeet Cove where they got to feed the birds. Nani also brought them a trampoline and we had some good fun with cousins, but as is generally the case when we are all together, we were all too busy to take pictures!
