Collecting sticks and rocks

January in Houston

Sliders and shakes from Little Bigs at the Menil. On a warm sunny day in January you can't beat it. 

Running and shouting

This pic sums him up nicely. As soon as we step outside he's off - running and shouting. 

Occasionally he'll stop to bark back at the dog next door. 

 

The real story

When I first saw these family pics I thought there was no way I'd be putting them up.  He had woken up sick, there was 95% humidity (my hair!), and it was the end of an hour of shooting (not sure who was more tired of it - TJ or Wells)....But then I decided I actually really like them. They tell it like it really was and there's something kind of nice about that sometimes too. 

Punk

While he was having his 1 yr old pics taken, Wells decided that he loved to twist his tongue and stick it out. He hadn't ever done it before and he hasn't done it since. But the one hour that he did it is well documented. Thanks mate. 

   

Extended Layover

We all got some Shelly and Cori time on their day and a half layover in Houston on the way back to school. So fun but too short. Come back soon!

There was some of this in Mexico too

Happy New Year

We celebrated the New Year "new-parent" style: In the morning. New Year's brunch at home with friends while the littles ran around - I think it might be a new tradition.  

Mexican Christmas

Campbell Christmas in Cancun. Beach holidays are tricky with kids who hate the beach. We did a little 'sand training' every day and by the last day he would finally walk on it. Oh Wells.
