As Bryce can tell you, I am in full-on nesting mode. Baby clothes are cleaned and neatly stacked in containers, birth center bags are packed, kids’ room is organized, and pantry is cleared of our collection of pizza boxes that seem to congregate in there. This post is another manifestation of that urge to clear clutter and get everything ready for baby. The following are all pictures that I found in our “Sorting” folder in our pictures directory on our computer. Basically, these are pictures we took with our phones and never organized. Woops. I know most of these are old now, but I just couldn’t resist. This blog is a journal for me and I didn’t want to leave these out.
Amelie on the gorgeous carousel at Hogle Zoo. This was back in (gasp) October.
I just love this because it's such a typical Amelie thing to do--pat her daddy's face. Same day at the zoo, soon after Bryce did that Joseph Smith film and shaved his beard the first time.
Totally a coincidence. Amelie and Hayley at the zoo enjoying the darling shirts that Grandma Brenda gave them.
Okay, the image quality isn't great, but I just love Calder's face in this one. This is what a "Smile!" prompt gets you, I guess. This was back in November.
Amelie dressed up (in Calder's things) for our ward's Cowboy Chili Cook-Off. She won a little prize for her costume.
Calder having a very intent conversation with Santa. I was just amazed that he sat on Santa's knee at all. They were discussing Thomas the Train, I believe.
At Grandma and Grandpa Haymond's house modeling the new Buzz Lightyear costume they added to their dress-up collection.
Reading with Grandpa Haymond at Christmas time. I promise, they were way more into it than this picture suggests.
Amelie adoring her sweet new cousin, Kate, back in January. Amelie can't get enough of Skyler and Kate (born only a couple weeks apart) and I'm hoping she feels the same way about our new little one.
Anyway, thank you for your patience during this interruption of normally scheduled blog posts and for letting this nesting mommy do some more organizing 🙂
