it was one of those days we won’t forget. one of those days where i can actually taste a smidgen of the magic of what would be if she lived down here. one of those days straight from my dreams…where our babies are together and we take pictures of them running through sprinklers and teaching lainey to dance…where my sister and & i make dinner together and pause, mid-stir to break some crazy moves and sing into our wooden spoons. and then, somewhere in this dream, we all end up in the bathroom, for no special reason, and we dance to the killers and do fabulous make-overs on each other. and we make an atrocious mess…but it doesn’t matter because we are laughing. and dancing. and our nails have red nail polish bleeding two inches outside our nail bed because we let the babies paint them. but to us…it’s fabulous. it’s all fabulous.
oh, and it’s not a dream.
it really happened. today.
oh, and my heart just skips a beat when i see her lay on her tummy to make her masterpiece. she is the coolest kid. and if she became a street artist, that’d be okay. i just love her.
bwah ha ha…here come’s tarzan’s wife…out of the jungle.
hmmmm….wonder what tomorrow will bring.
…enjoying the if-she-only-lived-near-me things. ~k
That make up counter reminded me of backstage on the Birdcage movie…oh, that’s right, those were men! Have fun…so much that your sides ache. I contacted the Vatican and submitted Brett’s name for sainthood…I think its a sure thing with these photos and narrative. Love Lainey with that new bathing suit…and I was there when you found it!
Um…..really…youre killin me..
ALL of these pics are BEAUTIFUL. i love the glamour shots…they should be in vogue magazine…seriously. if those two shots of you two were on the cover…i am pretty sure i’d buy it!!!
cousins + lily pic…delish!

I knew it was inevitable. Lainey pledged with a gang? Crips?
Sounds like you all had a pretty amazing day.
But really… sprinklers in Jan!? SO. JEALOUS. We will have a high of -5 degrees celsius today (23 F).
The tarzan’s wife pic? Make me laugh out loud at my desk 🙂 (Thank you! I needed a little giggle just about now).
i so want to hop on a plane and crash your fun!!! Love the pics you took of carin. And the one of LL 2nd from the top. she’s so focused. i think you interupted her creative genius at work.
I want to see a pic of Syd’s eyes! she’s got some fierce shadow goin on.
OH. MY. GOSH. just wait for my next post… Glamor shots. Old School. I say no more.
I especially like the make up counter with the kids – and the beer bottle!! Aunt Kelle!!!

good god, your pictures are so very gorgeous. i’m a girl with five sisters – so love that post.
Man.
I miss my sisters.
These pictures are perfect.
As Usual.
Hahaha Tarzan Lainey is the best! And I’m SO jealous that you guys were playing in the sprinkler and sidewalk chalking while I was kicking nasty brown snow/ice chunks off the wheel wells of my car.
