"Earth's crammed with heaven, And every common bush afire with God, But only he who sees takes off his shoes, The rest sit 'round it and pluck blackberries."

Contraband

Yesterday, we went and took M's one year old pictures and E's white dress picture. The white dress was sewn by my sister, Emily. All the smocking, embroidery, and stitching is by hand. Each three year old girl in my family takes their picture in the white dress. I took pictures of the photos so I could put them on the blog.

My comment is probably on the wrong post, but it doesn't really matter. I wanted to say Congratulations! I'm super excited for you guys. And your girls are incredibly adorable and photogenic. I'm just waiting for the email or something that tells us when you're exactly due and all of that stuff. Hope you guys are doing well.

The girls are so stinkin' cute! Thank heavens you finally went public with the baby news! It really was true we all knew, but nobody was allowed to say anything! I'll think blue for you guys!

M is getting so damn cute!! I remember the days when we had to wait like 9 days to get pictures... oh how things have changed. They are all just cute cute!

Man those girls are so very cute!! I'm glad the white dress tradition continues, it is too gorgeous not to have photos taken in it often...and THAT is why it is important you keep reproducing!

They are so cute! Whenever I see pics of your girls I get so sad that I don't get to spend more time with them. :( I love the antennae pig tails. I can't wait till we get to do that on Shea. By the way, congrats! I need to get on the phone and call you guys!

Did you take that awesome tulip picture on the top? If you did you should frame it and put it up in your house. That's what Mark and I do with all the pictures we take that we think are awesome.

I did not take the picture. I was just wishing it were spring.
