I feel like I should write something since it has been days since I've updated. I should have all kinds of lovely vignettes about my kids saved up. I'm having a terrible time thinking of them now.

Zoe says she is never getting married or going to college because she doesn't ever want to leave us. We told her that was fine, she could stay with us forever if she wanted, but Brad looked a little panicked. Heh. Last night she, in her silly drama voice and with a big grin, told her daddy that she was "Sooooo sad because you are in love with mommy and not me!".

And that is it for me. I'm brain dead. So here are a couple of pics.

The girls in their Kiss Me shirts from my MIL. I love that they don't say "I'm Irish" because...well...they're not. Hehe! But St. Patrick's day is a big deal to Brad and I both since we are both Irish, at least a little bit. And I just LOVE St. Patrick's story.


I just loved this one of Zoe for some reason.

They were my two favorites from the batch. I need to print them because I find myself sitting here staring at them for long periods of time. Trying to see them as other people see them, wondering if I see them they way they really are or if my own issues get in the way of seeing them clearly. Wondering why Mari always slouches, why Luci makes faces for the camera, why Zoe never looks as beautiful in pictures as she seems to be in real life. Mari is by far the most photogenic. It isn't that she doesn't look pretty in person, but sometimes pictures of her surpise me because she gets captured in her "best light" so frequently by the camera. But Zoe never looks quite right to me in pictures. People make comments on Zoe's beauty, randomly, in stores and on the street. But it never comes out in pictures. The swing picture seems to catch a little of it.

Way too much pondering over a couple of pictures.

I think it is cool that you are comtemplating them so much. I do that very occasionally over a picture that seems to capture one of my kids in a light that I am not use to seeing them.
