in keeping with my live healthier/embrace fall/become-that-earth-mom-i’ve-always-wanted-to-be thing. . .

i made my first bread tonight…homemade, no bread maker. whole wheat flour and honey and poppy seeds…my mom’s recipe. and i wore an old anthropologie apron when i kneaded it and liked the way i felt…even though i know a true earth mom wouldn’t exactly have to make a big deal on a blog about how cool she felt in an apron. (are ‘ya still proud of me, dig this chick?)

(she likes to fork her bread…she likes to fork everything these days)
p.s. ew on the flash pictures. i hate flash. but i had that whole candlelit ambient kitchen thing goin’ tonight and there just wasn’t enough light to go sans flash.

…enjoying the homemade things. ~k

after all, she is a girl…and i’ve been noticing her lately, watching me in the mirror when i put my make-up on.

so, it was just a matter of time…and today, little swiper dashed away with a lip liner. didn’t know she had it until i happened to see this face…

(these days i get ONE SHOT at getting a good picture of her before she runs away from me).

so it’s official, and although there is no place on her baby book’s “firsts” page for first time i snatched mom’s make-up (i’ll make one myself), every baby eventually does it and every parent has that famous baby-got-into-the-lipstick pic. this, my friends is ours.

oh, and p.s. …

…and more delicious autumn things to come these next couple weeks.

…enjoying the fill-in-your-own-blank-today things. c’mon, there’s so many. ~k

how sweet it was to photograph baby kyle today and his big sister, ellie.

and what a trooper he was…being undressed, dressed, (and undressed again) and toted around for his first little ‘shoot.’

love his little harley shirt…

…and while he was gettin’ ready for his close-up, big sis took the opportunity to show me some moves…

…snack on a few marshmallows (which just so happened to double as great photo bribery)…

…and ‘woo’ me with her sweet smile…

sweet, sweet babies…

…enjoying the little things. ~k
