Note:Make sure to check the crop winners I posted this morning, y’all!
This weekend,as I mentioned,it was just me and the babies.It was seriously weird. And quiet. But really fun. We blew LOTS of bubbles. And danced,and snuggled,and sang The Itsy Bitsy Spider 23428340283 times. And blew more bubbles.
I don’t think they knew what to do with themselves. I’m not sure if they wondered where the big girls were, or if they just LOVED having me all to themselves!
I decided it was time to get out my “real camera” and document how cute they are right now. Their facial expressions slay me.I mean really…the eyebrows. The mouths…I die.
Here are some of my favorite shots from the weekend. Lucy is in the left in all of the table shots,and Cate is on the right.
In the outside shots,Lucy is in the yellow and Cate is in the pink.
Love to you all!
xoxo

The shot of them in the little onesies, taken from the back with the little pudgy legs….so so so cute!!!! Makes me long for the days when mine were that size. They will both be off to college in ten days (sniff). Enjoy them ~ although I can see that you do!

Kristen S says
Absolutely adorable! They must have loved this special time with mom.
diana says
Cate sitting in the doorway … what an expression! LOL
Will Sadie be starting school this year, leaving you alone with these little ones?
In my Canadian province, children attend all-day Junior Kindergarten at age 4 (or 3 if they turn 4 before December 31).
Stephanie Howell says
she will be in 5 day 1/2 day preschool,yes! she would LOVE full day, but its too much $$$$ here. 🙁
MK Hennigan says
The girls are so full of personality. So love to see that you all have settled in to your new home so well. Enjoy Rhode Island and enjoy your girls. My babies Haly (14) and Lily (11) go back to school tomorrow, H (Freshman) and L (Middle School). So glad I am a memory keeper otherwise I would not have any documentation of the season of my life that you are in right now. Savor it all, each and every moment, the good, the bad and the ugly. It it all beautiful and your girls are so lucky that their Mom is a memory keeper too.
Margaret McGarry says
A) The babies are just adorable, and your photography of them is beautiful. Love the kissing babies in front of the hydrangeas.

Emma Petrie says
I am off to watch my little girl sleep, she is 4 soon, and it feels like yesterday she was the twins age. She still has the chubby legs and I love to kiss them! Ellie has been a difficult little bubba and sometimes the guilt I feel for being upset and frustrated by her is so overwhelming. I’m trying so hard to appreciate all the good things, thanks for helping me with that xx
Gayle W. says
These two are just too cute for words. Good grief. The strawberry legs! The kissing! The hai-er doooos! (Said with my pretend Southern drawl 😉 LOVE! Yes … how DO you get anything done?!
Stephanie Howell says
dont feel guilty. we ALL get frustrated and fed up with our kids. luckily,its an opportunity to teach them grace and how to say im sorry when we lose our tempers.xoxo
Jen Kinkade says
NOTHING cuter!! You just made my morning! I can see why you are so smitten with them! 😉 xo
Linda says
These are adorable. I can’t believe how much hair they have. Mine were bald until they were 3. Glad you had some special time.
Linnea says
They are seriously precious!! What treasures.
laurielariviere says
omg, thanks for the smile, they have their daddy’s eyebrows, and so much lovely hair!!
scrapperjen1 says
WOW!!!!!!!!! How CUTE are they!
I hope you had a wonderful time together.
Valerie says
Pure gorgeous-ness! So adorable and sweet. I think the girls are getting to be even more similar. I used to be able to tell them apart easily but not as much now – it depends on the photo.
I’d love to meet you all in real life but as we live in Scotland that’s not going to happen! I really do enjoy all of your posts immensely. No such thing as too many baby photos – just sayin! 🙂 Is it too stalkerish to ask if you could post a video clip of them?
Blessings from the Shetland Isles in Scotland.
Stephanie Howell says
