Mealtime

We make it a point to eat dinner together as a family. Everyone starts out sitting in his or her own chair, but that doesn't tend to last. Baby Stephanie must motor. She can only sit for so long before she has to get up and wander around. Often, she migrates to Papa's lap. Ellie is quick to follow. They often eat the bulk of their meals there. So, no matter how we start out, our mealtimes often end up looking like this...

Oh my gosh these are some of my favorite pictures ever! SO CUTE! SO SWEET that Markus and the girls are so inseparable. The way Stephanie and Markus are looking at each other! The jewelry! The haircuts! Ellie wearing multiple layers of clothing, some yours I suspect! I just LOVE love LOVE it all! If it was food I would be addicted. What am I saying? It is not food and yet I am still ADDICTED to your blogspot! I am insatiable! I am a glutton! Please, may I have some MORE!

All my love,

Mimi

I love the collage way you put those photos together (keep the mac smirk you have on your face to yourself please ;-). One day you will be so please you kept this diary of your family growth - and each photo is literally worth a thousand words! How I wish you were closer so I could attend some of these family meals and witness the interaction live! Maybe you could strap a camera helmet to each of your heads and have the video stream 24-7 on the internet -hmmm? maybe?
