a few random shots

Just wanted to post a few pictures that I got particular enjoyment from recently.

First, here’s Cal enjoying his first (I’m pretty sure) ice cream cone at the Green’s on the 4th. The ever talented Jesse Martin took this picture, as well as an even cuter one on his cell that I can’t figure out how to get for myself…so you’ll have to deal with this one’s slightly lesser level of cuteness.



Yesterday the kids got to have a quick swim in our little kiddie pool before dinner. They both loved it, but while Maggie’s little body stays warm indefinitely (Higgins blood), Cal gets cold pretty quickly (Light blood), so he ended up begging to be wrapped up and set in the sun to get warm again. skh captured the warming quite nicely.




After dinner we decided to take a very slow, very short walk as a family - mostly to try to get my pregnant body moving around a little more…months of laying in bed is not very good for you, so for me it was more of a grueling marathon. This was Maggie’s first time riding her bike on a family walk WITH ONLY TWO WHEELS (as she tells everyone we meet), so she was very excited to go get ready. We were not expecting her to come out dressed like this, though…
