2 tide u over...a 2004 picture marathon...

well, we're moved!

we slept in Retro (the new place) 4 the 1st time last nite & we're already in love!!! there's sooooo much more space & every1 is settling in nicely!

we still have cleaning up 2 do at the old place...& we haven't even begun 2 clear out our storage shed there...plus, there's some yard work 2 b done b4 we leave, including tearing up our little raised veggie bed :0(

so, since i don't have the time (or energy - my gosh, is this move kicking my butt?!?!) 2 upload pics or recap our whirlwind weekend, i figured i'd tide u over with some sweet pics i stumbled upon the other day when i was doing some clean up on an old PC we're getting rid of...either that, or bore u 2 tears! hey, at least i know my biggest blogging fan (my father-in-law...hi Pop!!!) will enjoy em ;0)

all these pics r from the last half of 2004 - when i got my 1st digital camera...Corinn was born Feb 04, Gabby turned 2 that November & Jaden turned 4 in July...these make my heart melt every time i look at em!!! ♥ also, u'll notice that quite a few were taken at Retro when my rents lived there

Gabrielle - such a sweetie!
she always loved helping take care of her lil sis - even if she was only 15 months old when Corinn was born ;0)
every time i'd get the camera out, Jaden would want 2 show me his "mut-tules"
Corinn was the most content, easy-going baby of em all!
look at that smile!
~lol~ love this pic!
playing in Nana & Grandpa's sandbox - it's stll there too!
my angels
at the National Zoo
checking out the animals from daddy's shoulders
Gabby used 2 LOVE 4 me 2 do her hair in different styles - not any more! ~lol~
Corinn is still the same way - falls asleep anytime, anywhere!
oh my goodness!
at the playground in Front Royal (where we lived)
sweetness!

Mama Skates said...

thx! yeah, i used 2 play with my little cousin's hair a lot...my mom has an adopted brother & sister that r african american & i used 2 provide daycare 4 my aunts kiddos when they were small...she taught me some stuff & i learned by just messing around...when the girls got a little older, i was able 2 do cornrows, twists & other fun styles - but now-a-days their hair is just too long & they won't sit still 4 me 2 play that long ;0)
