Titles are Important

Now, I realize I haven't been doing so good at keeping to my blog title. This blog is called Laugh and TAKE A PICTURE! I can imagine you've done a great deal of laughing, but there haven't been a lot of pictures. I will make amends shortly.

But first... I have had a hard time deciding where to begin recording the events of my life. Now, I would really love to go back in time and tell you all about my life as a wife and then as a mother. Although I'm sure this would be wildly interesting, I think I would get overwhelmed and intimidated. So, instead, I have decided to start now. Like they say: There's no better time than the present, right?

With that said, here are some pictures of our life, thus far, in February:

If you are completely out of touch with the news (then we have something in common) you might not have heard about the large amounts of snow the east coast has been receiving. We have had more snow this winter than they've ever had in Philly's recorded history.

We decided to make the most of it and take Abby out to play. Here she is in her "I can't put my arms down" get-up.


Abby's first time sledding. She was pretty indifferent about the whole situation.


I will always and forever be an Arizona girl at heart, but it's fun for about 20 minutes.


Sam wanted to build a snowman. I was too lazy to bundle up, so I told him to just build one on our balcony. Pretty awesome, huh?



Abby's favorite snow activity was eating it from a bowl we brought in from the balcony.


Lunch at Olive Garden. We're thankful Ellen was born so we could have a great excuse to get together and eat--like we don't do it enough already. :)


How cute are these cookies I made for playgroup!?! I know, I am a culinary goddess!


Kisses for Baby McKenzie.


How big does she look in this picture? I almost started crying as soon as the preview showed up on the camera screen.


We went to the Please Touch Museum with a bunch of friends! So fun!
