so sad...

...it borders on pathetic, really. This morning, without knowing it, our 4 yr. old made a very wise observation about his mother. He had a friend over to play, and this is the little conversation I heard:

Hudson: "Wow, Aiden, where did you get that car from?"
Aiden: "My Mama got it for me from Tar..Tar...from Tar (he is stuttering horribly at this point trying to remember the name)...from Tar...from TARGBUCKS!!"

So I like Target and Starbucks, who can blame me, especially when I've got a Starbucks gift card from Christmas burning a whole in my wallet. It's yet another reminder of how smart and observant kids can be, and how painfully aware they are of their parents vices.

high-chair high jinx

I forgot to post this a couple of weeks ago. I was at home having dinner with the boys and got up from the table to use the restroom. This was the scene when I came back into the room. I'm still not convinced that his big brother didn't aid in the operation, but he denies any involvement.

I usually don't make it out from behind the camera to actually BE in pictures, so I thought I'd post this one of me and the boys. Also, some proof of my rapidly growing belly. Aiden took this picture, believe it or not. He got a new Lighting McQueen digital camera for Christmas, but he took this one with my 5D. He seems to really be getting into taking pictures and is actually concerned when they aren't crisp!

fyi

Hey guys, just as an fyi-I'm back to updating my photoblog-mckownphotography.blogspot.com-sorry it's been so long.
Here's a recent picture of my cousin's little boy, Hudson. He wasn't too thrilled to be the subject, but not many one year olds are.
