I played soccer with Nathan and softball with the girls. I was honored to be a bridesmaid in Liesl & Nathan's wedding when I was a humongous 7 months pregnant with Miss Em and so excited to be able to attend their baby shower today! Liesl is my oldest friend and whether near or far away, she is always dear to my heart.<br />

I had a newborn session this morning and was really hoping it would arrive before then so I could use it for those tiny toes, eyelashes, etc., but alas it arrived 2 hours after our session wrapped. Oh well - I have it for next time! <br />

Seriously, I would see other parents going home with all of these neat creations their kids made and my son was always the one to opt out of doing any of the art projects in class. He said he just didn't like it.<br />
<br />
Fast forward a year and now McGee is <i>constantly</i> asking for "arts and crafts" or an "art project to work on". He now enjoys coloring and creating things for others as gifts and has said his favorite thing about his new kindergarten class is "all of the fun arts and crafts we do!" Let's just say I'm pleased to see the joy in his eyes now when he creates something and our walls and windows are decorated with many of them.<br />

My little boy is growing up and looking so much less baby and much more handsome big boy. Which b/w conversion do you prefer between these two?<br />

How 'bout them 49ers???!!! Ten years after our last playoff appearance we arrived...and BIG! What an exciting game we enjoyed with both sets of our parents and our friends the Wards. It was definitely a Handsome Win Sunshine kind of day:<br />

And on a side note, McGee had his first official "sleepover" last night as we had his friend Jared sleep over. The boys did great and I'd say it was a big success!<br />

No batteries, no electronic devices, just some blocks, cars and as much imagination as the kids can come up with. The block "town" was created by Miss Em, complete with a "nail salon" (her words). On the other side of the table, brother was creating a "video" of Cars 2 with everyone on the "stage".<br />

SHE cracks me up. SHE is as stubborn as I am. SHE is one tough cookie. SHE gets shy around new people and large groups. SHE loves to cuddle. SHE dances and sings like a princess. SHE is funnier and cooler than I'll ever dream to be. SHE is the one we call Miss Em.<br />

SHE is my Sunshine:<br />

An all boy room for sure. A little while later I found our dog Callie trying to make her way out of his messy room. Then a short while after that Miss Em was practicing her "plie" in the middle of McGee's mess. It may not be an actual automatic time lapse sequence, but I found the sequence interesting and fun nonetheless.<br />

My kids are mostly used to eating Papa Murphy's take -n-bake or homemade pizza. A couple of times though we've gone out to a local pizza parlor with my brother and sister-in-law and the 5 kids have a blast pretending they're playing the video games after they've used up the 50 cents we give each of them to start the night. We parents love the opportunity to talk somewhat uninterrupted while they're off playing (within eyesight at all times of course).<br />

Miss Em loves it so after reading it to her for the umpteenth time, Grandma taught Miss Em how to do a "plie" like a real ballerina...I may be biased but I think she nailed it!<br />

Yes, Miss Em had a fun time getting into Mommy's shoes.<br />

It makes me laugh looking at this image of her because as the boys are running around crazy up and down the hallways, she was running around with them, saw my camera out and immediately stopped and struck her typical photo pose - I just adore the tilt of her head and smile! Boys and girls are so different!<br />

Enjoying our last week with Daddy and McGee off on Winter Break we had a picnic lunch at the park today. Miss Em was having a hard time eating her sandwich so Daddy whipped out his cell phone and started the "timer" which has been our new program for getting them to finish their food. McGee was all done eating but didn't go play because he was too excited wanting to see Daddy's "Bomb" go off - the graphic on the cell phone of a bomb that blows up when the time is up. You can see Miss Em wasn't as thrilled with the scenario, but she <i>did</i> finish her sandwich!</div>

I was out of town today and didn't have my camera, but if I had....I would have taken a picture of my almost 90 year old grandma as she and I went out for a roast beef sandwich and milkshake. As it was, I'll have to settle for taking a picture of this older picture of Grandma from my FB page to signify the ray of sunshine spending time alone with my grandma brought into my life today. Since having kids it seems we never get a chance for any 1-on-1 time without distraction and hearing is quite difficult for her sometimes so conversation amidst the background noise of children can be challenging as well. Today though it was just <i>her</i> and <i>me</i>.</div>

Also as a sidenote - my normal PC nabbed a yucky virus a couple of days before Christmas and it's been so hard not being able to download my Christmas photos, edit anything and all those other things so important to a photographer! :) The PC has been cleared, but now we have the fun task of installing all of our software again and hoping we can restore all of our pictures! That said, I can't wait to finally dig in and review our holiday photos and actually edit a photo again instead of shooting in JPEG and posting unedited images. Just thought I'd let you in on the "fun" that is going on here in our house in regards to the computer - can I just say that people who created viruses are just plain MEAN???!!!</div>
