We haven't had a card reader for a few weeks, so I haven't been able to upload pictures. (I can't be certain exactly what happened, but I am pretty sure some little boy in the house tried to crank it using a car key. Then I devoted an hour of my life - which I can never have back - to unbending the probes. It worked for the afternoon, then never again. Alas.) Now we have a new one, so it's time to catch up. Here are pictures from the weekend. To see the rest of August, click on the flickr slideshow to your left.

the park, early in the morning



It was easy to get a picture of him smiling on his dad's shoulders, because he never stopped smiling the whole time.


Sometimes Brother gets loved to death.


Ok. So last week someone gave Silas this outfit, and I was so excited, because it matched Asher's Easter outfit from this spring (by the way - at Easter, that outfit was on the cusp of being too big. By August, it's on the cusp of being too small. Good grief. But I digress). So I dressed them up for church this Sunday, and figured I was getting it in right under the wire. If girls can't wear white after Labor Day, surely boys can't wear searsucker. This was my last chance to get a picture of them in their little outfits together. Except - Silas was sleepy and INSULTED that I had plans for him that did not include his bed, and Asher had Very Important Things To Do that did not involve sitting still for the camera. I didn't get a single good picture. But at least you can see the outfits in this one - sort of.


Didn't I tell you he was cute? And getting more alert every day.


This is by far Silas' best picture. I told you Dad is funny.


Brian equals play time for both of them. We call this one Six Flags over Daddy.


A bonus: my parents' cat stalking the hummingbirds. Apparently they were taking too long, because he gave up and took a nap instead.
