Type+Writer 2 is class of "inspirational journaling assignments and video typography instructions." And I love it. Anything from Jes and Liv is fun and awesome.

To make a long story much shorter; after I had Abram I suffered from anxiety and the baby blues. The anxiety was to the point that little things (like Loren rearranging the furniture) caused me great stress and insomnia.

Jayne likes to be wherever I am, and on this day I was working and she was playing with her toys (yeah, now that I am in the playroom, they want to play in here). When I looked up and saw her in this hat, I just had to take a picture. Such a girl...with brothers.

He was so nice and let Jayne come with him. Rather, I brought her with us, so he had to be nice.After the party, we headed to a different park where I was scheduled for my first family photo shoot for three different families.

The kids absolutely love coming in their pajamas (well except for Gabe and Ethan) and they love listening to Mrs. B. She is a great entertainer for kids and adults alike.

If they didn't stick so much (even with using Pam), I would have made more than two batches. The kids loved them a bunch, in fact I think I'll be making them again for dinner tonight.
