reawakening

So, I know I've been a little neglectant. To be honest I went on a picture taking hiatus. Judging by the looks of my photos you probably wouldn't think so, but none-the-less, it was one. I felt like I was in a sort of slump, somewhat uninspired. Partly because I've been so busy and partly because I was just wanting to enjoy moments with my kids. I've just been loving Jeff at home lately and I feel like I don't want to miss him. miss any moment of him. He has the mood swings of a teenage girl and a major sweet tooth, but mostly I just call him my squishy. It's really the best word for him. squishy. His hair is so soft and his laugh is so contagious.
Hanging with new friends.

 They had these story times down at discovery green where they gave you a TON of free stuff. Jeff's favorites were probably the train ride and

 I love his cheesy smile...

 ... definitely kayaking. It was such a cool experience for us to have together. I have to admit that Aria's been a little jealous. I feel bad for her, but I would have done these things with her too. I hope they're still around in the summer.

 Jeff sitting by his new girlfriend, Claire. These two really do like each other... a lot. :)

 The month of October was a big month for trying new things, especially for Aria. She conquered her fear of going past the first monkey bar. I'd say now she's officially a 'monkey'.

 She also climbed lots of trees and loved spending time at the park.

 So sweet.

 To help me get out of my photography slump I decided to go out and have fun... just the 3 of us... and my remote.

 This is what happens when I tell them to pose. I love the 'booty-tooch' on Aria. haha.

Jeff has no desire to wear clothing. He often goes commando underneath his pants and I don't know what to do about it. At least he's dressed most of the time. We've left unders at other people's houses multiple times. hmmm...
