Are you all having a nice weekend? We sure are. What are we up to? Well... not much. We've been sleeping in, playing at the playground, taking walks. And, as of tonight, making Judah the proud owner of a "boy" bike. Daniel couldn't take the pink and purple one any longer.
I love my husband (That's a good thing, right?!). Daniel is such a manly man. And he wants his boy to be just that - a boy. In a world of sisters this won't always be easy...
Eve is doing good. She's been having a little bit of an attitude issue this weekend but we're all over that like white on rice.
And Eliza... she's workin' the hand-me-downs like nobody's business.
It was rather weird for me to pull out Eve's baby clothes and put them on my sweet "Lu-Lu." It felt wrong almost. I can't determine why, exactly. I guess it felt like since they were Eve's clothes, to see them on another child was very strange. But, hey! I'm all for saving money and I definitely appreciate a good hand-me-down, so I quickly got over my weirdness issue.
Speaking of hand-me-downs... since moving from Vermont we lost our beloved friend Bridgette and her beautiful clothes that she so generously handed down to Eve. So sad...
Judah... he lost Joe's hand-me-downs. Joe is Bridgette's brother and the combo was brilliant. I can't even tell you how much I appreciated hand-me-downs from these two cute kids.
Eliza is also working the ankle rolls. I'm loving them. Her skin is incredibly soft, which is no small feat considering we are living inside an oven. The rolls and the soft skin translate into mama rubbing her baby all day long. I can't kiss her, snuggle her, tickle her, or smell her enough. I love that girl.
And now I have a question for all my photographer friends... Do you find that Blogger destroys your pictures once you upload them?
I am looking into uploading from my Flickr account. Just wanted to know if I was imagining things...
You all keep on livin' it up this weekend. I am off to go love on my husband... And eat some chocolate. But let's keep that chocolate thing on the down low, okay!

It does sound like you all are having a great weekend. Those pictures of Eliza are adorable.I love hand me downs too...her little feet are too cute.
Blogger is a photo murderer. Go with flickr for sure.
My fifth daughter is now wearing some of the same clothes that I bought for my first. Far from being "weird", I always felt it lent a certain continuity, tradition if you will, to this endless cycle of growing up and letting go. Seeing my Penelope in the same clothes that once graced my twelve year old Brenna makes it a little bit easier for me to accept the fact that Brenna is, well, twelve. I'm not much of a one for this whole "letting go" thing. :-)
I am a lover of good hand me downs. Especially when the hand -me-downer has the same taste as you! Unfortunately, I've never really been the recipient, only the giver. Which is good too!
Baby rolls are yummy (Eliza's are too cute)! Hope has lots of kissable rolls that are smooched quite regularly.
And I do think Blogger makes pictures look darker.
I love hand me downs too! I love the dress Eliza is in...
Will is lucky to have three older cousins that have passed down their clothing.
Enjoy the chocolate, i think I am going to go and have a cookie and milk...shh..don't tell anyone.
Cute family and very cute blog. From one military family to another. I salute you.
glad to see im not the only one who had a slight issue with seeing my firsts clothes on my second. I too got over it quickly but still, at 18mths, going thru the clothes bins are like walking down memory lane. And at least its not a long walk!
enjoy the love and the chocolate!
I left Blogger two years ago because IT SUCKED when it came to photos. If you ever decide to go self-hosted, let me know and I can help :)
Hand me downs rock! Sorry you lost some good hand me down friends. That flower dress on Eliza is so sweet - and she is . . . SO SWEET. I love her face in that last picture - awwwwwwwww, I want to reach through the screen and grab her and kiss those cheeks.
p.s. Leah is sporting some nice "cankles" these days too - they are so yummy!!!
p.p.s. Yup, blogger sucks for photos - do flickr if you can!
I'm with you, baby rolls are sooooooooooooooooooo cute! My girls both have rolls from their thighs down. They're just too adorable.
My photos are none too good to begin with, so I have no idea what you're talking about!
You should know, I can totally see your highlights! Also I can see they aren't as intense as you were hoping for. Even though you totally lost me with all the #'s of peroxide or something...
Yay for the "manly" bike and cute pics of Eliza! I used to upload and embed with Zooomr, now I use photobucket. (Zooomr, photobucket, flikr...same difference.) You so need to be published! Your pics are gorgeous!
