A Quick Post

Kerri again. Once more masquerading as Martin. I'm sneaky like that.

Some pics to show you how durn cute my kids are. It's stinkin' ridiculous how adorable these two are.

Two by Four

Evie and Sophie turned 4 yesterday. We were lucky enough to celebrate with them this past weekend at The Pig Pen. Needless to say, our girls had a ball celebrating two of their most favorite playmates.

Why oh why can't I seem to move these photos around? Hmmm. Well, here -- out of order -- are some photos from the party.

I attempt to get Libby to make silly faces with the girls. I love how Libby has to confirm with them. "Is a tongue out silly? Yes? OK, well good."

Kelly made the most divine strawberry cupcakes. Emma did them proud.

I ask the birthday girls for a silly picture, and they comply brilliantly.

Funniest. Picture. Ever.

I came across this little gem hiding in our online photo album. Honest, she's actually happy in it. Martin just caught her mid-delighted scream, and it looks like terror.

The Divine Ms. Em ... Again

Martin posted the last entry without realizing I had meant to upload a second video. Here, at last, is the promised video of Emma eating the buttons off my shirt. And, yes, she's just as cute in person as she is on film.

Queen Elizabeth and the Divine Ms. Em

Hi. Kerri here (posting from Martin's side and too lazy to change the user).

We have two videos that so particularly capture little pieces of the girls' personalities at this moment. They are so different in so many ways and yet they adore playing with each other. When Libby's on her game (and not being a bullying big sister), she can make Emma laugh harder than just about anyone.

First video: Libby has developed this total space-cadetness. She is just hilarious. It's like she just has too much on her mind to pay attention to petty little details like watching for walls she shouldn't walk into. We were at a park last weekend, and the girls had lollipops for the first time (or at least the first time in memory). Notice how Libby's so engrossed in her "pollilop" that she first walks into the bar at the top of the slide and then almost falls completely down the slide itself.



As for Emma, she has the funniest sense of humor. She already can be quite a tease and has a killer smile. She loves to do goofy little things to get a laugh. Already! She's only 18 months old, for Pete's sake. Here she is at the beach in Florida. She's first talking about my boobs (still fascinated though we haven't breastfed in a few months) and then she pretends to eat the beads off my shirt (yes, that's right -- I was bejeweled and bedazzled).
