One down, two to go.

Science fair season again . . .

Not quite sure what was up with Sophie's pose in this one. Kind of hilarious!

Friday Night

I'm continuing my "blogging the ordinary" theme. Tonight, I'm focusing on Jake. He was not a very willing participant in my evening photo shoot. I love him to pieces anyway :)

And in case you were wondering what was going on in the McRae house at precisely 9:48 p.m. this lovely Friday evening, here it is:

Stuffed animal school with Sophie:

Emma & her friend Mary playing with Barbies, I think:

Jake's making sausage & eggs:

There you have it. Until next time...

I love these kids.

I'm not doing very good so far at keeping my blog current this year. I just haven't been taking any pics. I'm not giving up. When I don't have anything to blog about, I'll blog about the ordinary. Here are the girl's this evening at bedtime.

Sophie, freshly bathed and ready for her bowl of lucky charms:

Emma, looking glamorous, even in dad's shirt:
Not pictured: Jake, who would not crack a smile and wanted nothing to do with this post.

Good night all.

Move over Picasso.

I know every parent likes to brag about how cute or talented their child is, but seriously, Joseph & I were just blown away when we saw what what our sweet Sophie did. Her raw talent just stunned us.

Take a look:

Sophie baby, we've never been more proud!

(p.s. if you read the Christmas card post below, the answer is yes, I really did just use my kid's school pictures as my Christmas card photos. What can I say? I was really busy last month!)

Merry Christmas!

I know. I'm a few weeks late. I have 50 of these sweet little Christmas cards sitting on my counter. Right now. At this point, I'm too embarrassed to send them out, so I'll just post it here and let you know that if you didn't receive a Christmas card from the McRae's this year, don't feel bad. No one did.
