The Now and the Not Yet

A completely random smattering of pictures from our normal, everyday, pre-baby #2 life.

We love playing outside--

and enjoying the neighbor’s flowers and good weather.  (When typhoons aren’t passing through, that is.)

As I was working on (finally) putting an enormous number of photos into albums, I realized how very few pics we have of the three of us together.  So a couple days ago we had an impromptu family photo shoot.

Another mini-photo shoot; this one of “both” the kids.  I find it hilarious that Logan can basically hide from me under my bump.

Indoor activities that have recently become more popular include playdough, coloring, and this magnet construction set that I uncovered while rearranging bedrooms.  Anyone want to guess who is having the most fun in these pictures?

 

 

One of our recent joint-effort artistic projects.  Everything that is identifiable was requested, by name, by Logan: barn, cow, tractor, train, tracks, bridge, tunnel, water, Junior, Bob and Larry.  Also included in the picture is Logan’s first “completed” Sunday School craft (the paper plate on the right with blue paint and the fish), photographed for the grandparent’s benefit.

A couple of my projects, displaying only slightly more skill than Logan’s Sunday School craft but that’s okay.  I made three additional decorative panels for my baby carrier, burp cloths to match each of them (one set not pictured b/c it’s packed for the hospital) and several extra burp cloths for myself and others.

I also made curtains for Logan’s new room and did quite a bit of cleaning/organizing/rearranging, but we are still waiting on one more item to complete his room before I show you pictures of it.

Waking up from naptime can be rough and frequently requires some snuggles.  Today the snuggles also included Logan’s baby doll.  He seems to understand that there’s a baby in my belly, doesn’t hesitate when we identify his old room as “the baby’s room”, and associates the baby (or at least the baby doll) with items such as the bouncer, infant car seat, etc.  Hopefully he’s got as good a grasp on what’s about to happen as possible—we’ll see how it goes!
