http://brianandlauren.com/blog two pilots, one horizon, no limits Sat, 13 Sep 2008 18:30:20 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en Sorry this took so long but I've been so busy and edits take a long time. I am wondering if I should take her to a real portrait photographer as soon as possible...being that I personally am thinking these two batches stunk. She's so hard to take pictures of right ... http://brianandlauren.com/blog/?p=19 I entered the June "Fatherhood" photography contest on Me Ra Koh's blog, and today I found out that I am one of the 5 finalists! My image is #3 on this post, so go to this link and at the VERY bottom of the page you can leave a comment with your ... http://brianandlauren.com/blog/?p=17 What a crazy week we have had! First, we'll start with two more pretty pictures from my home garden - the lavender is in bloom and smells so wonderful! Wouldn't it be neat if you could scratch your computer moniter and smell it?? Maybe in "The Future" that will happen. ;-) On ... http://brianandlauren.com/blog/?p=16 Sorry for not saying much in this post, but I just wanted to share some recent pictures. Brian and I have been busy with work, and when we get home we're tied up with watching Kaitlyn grow up far too fast and tackling all the joys of home ownership. The ... http://brianandlauren.com/blog/?p=15 My little baby girl is 9 months old!! Yesterday was gorgeous and sunny so I took her outside in a cute new outfit for some portraits. I'm still editting them, and I'm going to take more today because she gets really distracted. She kept crawling away, wanting to eat grass. ... http://brianandlauren.com/blog/?p=14 First big news first: Kaitlyn is crawling already - she also sits for a long time before falling over. And, the most unfair of all...has begun to say da da da da da da! Sure, I raise her nearly exclusively for 8 months and she says da da first? I've ... http://brianandlauren.com/blog/?p=13 This is a favorite in our household and a regular on the menu. It is, of course, one of the special dishes at Applebee's. I made a modified version tonight and thought I would share the recipe since it is soooooo delicious and it's super simple to make. Applebee's Fiesta Lime ... http://brianandlauren.com/blog/?p=11 [gallery=2] Today we got a box in the mail from my friend Jenny. She sent me a belated birthday card and a belated "congrats on your new baby" card and present. I let Kaitlyn open the present - she loved the paper and tried to eat it. The blanket is adorable ... http://brianandlauren.com/blog/?p=10 A few days ago, Kaitlyn spent some time feeding herself Cheerios. Until recently, she's been able to grab cereal pieces but she couldn't figure out how to get them into her mouth. Now she is learning to pinch the cereal with her forefinger and thumb and put them in her ... http://brianandlauren.com/blog/?p=8 Easter was a lot of fun this year. We got up and the kids had Easter baskets to find. Collin's had eggs hidden around the house with clues about where he can find his basket. Kaitlyn's basket was hidden in the middle of the living room floor. I had pictures ... http://brianandlauren.com/blog/?p=7 I've been having technical issues with WordPress - I've been trying to upgrade and in the process ended up losing some of the images I had posted of Kaitlyn's 6 month portraits. They were taken at JC Penney, which did a fairly nice job (FAR better than Olan Mill, which ... http://brianandlauren.com/blog/?p=6 I've been trying to get our website up-to-date lately. The biggest news is that Kaitlyn is now 6 months old - we can hardly believe it! She's still super tiny - she wears NB and 0-3mo sized clothing and size 1 diapers. We had her 6 month portraits taken last ... http://brianandlauren.com/blog/?p=5
