Samuel's Name

Before Eve was born, I spent some sleepless nights painting her name on the wall in her room. I've loved seeing her name so much that I decided to continue the tradition with Samuel (the insomniac painting and painting his name on the wall). And, I don't want Samuel to grow up wondering why he has to sleep in his "Sister's Room". Now, it can be his room too. Note that Samuel's is a simpler design.... didn't quite have the time I used to, but I had more fun painting his, so time spent doesn't exactly equal greater satisfaction from the project. A good thing for me to keep in mind after the little guy comes along.

Reading with Papa

The "do" was done with Aunt Kate in mind. It stayed in... kind of... for an hour anyway.

The Bum Boogie

Eve's new little trick. She gets so excited when she hears the fan run in my bathroom. She comes in to watch me get ready for the day and is entirely to proud of herself for being able to make so much noise with the shower door.

"Good-bye, Papa"

Eve watching Tim leave in the car. He'd just said "bye" to her and she was intently following his departure.

Kumquat

So, this morning, I came up stairs with 4 kumquats. However, when I arrived at my destination, the computer, I realized that I only had 3 in my possession. Hmmm.... perhaps I just THOUGHT I started out with 4. Later, I hear Eve sputtering and spitting. I can see her back and she's playing with her Little People. Sputtering and spitting continue and I look to see that she's found the kumquat and is dramatically still spitting out the remnants while assaulting the kumquat with little people. So, now, the kumquat is squat and Eve is satisfied with her revenge. It's lying, mangeled in Noah's Ark.

Eve Playing With Toys

I took this in Eve's room. The first clip is a wonderful example of the kind of footage I like to get - Eve playing and NOT assaulting the camera. The second clip is what usually happens.
