2 + 1 = 3

so, here's dava,
having some quality time
with the baby...

but, of course,
liney has to get in on the action.

[enter jim carey:]
here she comes to wreck the daaaay!

and there she's goes.

mommy must needs drop the camera,
and rescue the baby.

the end.

when david becomes goliath...

hiiiya! i am ninja

keeping tabs on daddy

"you ain't goin' nowhere..."

sunshine through my window

getting up multiple times during the night is a common occurence for parents of small kids and babies. but the past few nights i've been waking up to a glaring-almost-as-bright-as-the-sun moon, shining immediately outside our window and right into my poor, tired eyes. aside from the consequent blindness, it really is quite pretty. so, last night, with my eyes fighting to stay open, i decided to take some pictures:

pedia-onco support group

just thought i'd post some do-gooding photos. (if you're wondering, pedia-onco support group is a support group of families with children who suffer from cancer. we see them almost every week, play with the kids, encourage the parents, offer moral and spiritual support, and much more.)
i've been meaning to post photos of tiago, but never got around to it. but, oh well...here are some:

thank god it's friday. lucky kids.
tiago being a good boy. (dava's in the bottom left corner of the right picture...all lost in the crowd of brown faces. heh.)

numero uno grumpy-o monkey-o

i have officially joined the grumpy monkey club.
S-O-M-E-O-N-E got my laptop all virused out, and the sweet dear men at the shop who said they'd "diagnose it" and call us before they did anything to it, DIDN'T call us, and went ahead and did what they did, and now i've lost the pictures of my grumpy monkeys!
surprisingly, i'm really not ALL that beat up about it, though it does suck like a sucking sucker.

and so i'm deciding to play the glad game:
- at least i didn't lost ALL my files
- at least it's only a few months of their lives in picture (even though a few months is samanatha's WHOLE life)
- at least i'm not entirely moaning and groaning
- at least i've lost so many files in my computer life, that i know that to lose more files is not the end of the world
- at least i have my blog which holds the basics since the birth of aileen, which is a longer stretch than that of the pictures i lost
- at least i just lost pictures, at most i didn't lose my kids and they still have their whole rumbunctious loves to still live out and continue taking pictures of.
ptl? tyj? amen? hal?
amen.

another thing i'm grumpy about (kind of a late reaction, or at least a late posting regarding the subject) is that for some reason blogger decided to muck up all the text on my previous posts, so picture captions have lost their picture partners, and picky me hates seeing that. but, ptl...on the bright side, it has change-journeyed my style of posting.
i'm sure you've noticed.

so all's well that end's well.
god bless shakespeare. god bless me. god bless us everyone.

the fattest grumpy monkey

a common nighttime find: liney's favorite sleeping position -- half on bed, half on floor
