photo explosion :: vol. 8

{typical day at home playing... shirtless, of course}

{mohawk baby}

{the first of what became many rainy-day bedroom fortresses}

{titus as a viking}

{typical titus}

{titus after he found a puffy jacket in a bag of clothes-to-be-sorted}

{easter all dressed up.  not complete, of course, without hand-me-down cowboy hats. how could i insist that my sweet boys not wear the hats when they were so convinced that they made them instantly more handsome?}

{a day out and about with poppy, grandma, and a few visiting relatives.  we really must take more time to be tourists in our beautiful city, i think}

{why so many pictures of titus? because he is obsessed with taking and being taken. my phone is filled to capacity with pictures of and by this spunky little guy}

{titus, going to work with daddy, coffee in hand}

{"look mom, he loves me!"}

{gabe currently gets up every morning and immediately sets to work making people and creatures out of notecards and glue. it's awesome}

{first birthday cake}

{titus's third birthday morning, complete with redesigned bike, viking gear, and brother-made two-headed man in a speed boat}

{splash park with friends... specifically 8 kids eight-years-old and younger with just two mamas. the best kind of chaos}


{he got stuck}


{movie watching with poppy}
