kaylee kaylee kaylee

I noticed that my blog has been a little ethan-focused lately. so, while life will never be "fair" or "even" for my kiddos, I thought a kaylee focused post was in order. and, now that Mothers Day has come and gone and I have mailed all the great-grandmas their mothers day presents, I can post these pics for the rest of you to see! These are from a little trip to JC Penney's in late March or early April. Ethan was not the happiest camper - in fact he only actually smiled in one picture (alright, I'll admit it - I did do some photoshopping for our family pic - I stole Ethan's only smile and stuck it on the best pic of the rest of us), but anyways, Kaylee was happy!

here's the photoshopped family pic:

for the sake of honesty, here's the original version - it's not that ethan's upset or crying... but... I prefer a more intelligent look for him ;)

just the kiddos - pretty adorable, eh?

alright, ready for the kaylee focused part? Since the dedication itself was all of 5 minutes, and then we whisked them off to the party in different clothes, we thought we would get some nice pics of their excellent dedication outfits. and since danielle is kaylee's godmother, and is always the one taking the pictures and never in them, we invited her to come along. it was hard to choose just a few of these shots, because kaylee is very happy in all of them - she likes danielle a lot.

oh, also - super cute thing to note - danielle got matching pearl bracelets for herself and kaylee. kaylee's is SO small. unfortunately kaylee is showing her other wrist in most pics, but you can sorta see it in the above pic.

 (that's a kaylee giggle face)

alright, now both kiddos in their dedication outfits:

and back to the kaylee shots...

can you tell that Ethan is about to cry in that picture? I can, but I think perhaps to others it is passable as a smile? I'm not sure...

and now, ending with my favorite kaylee pic...

 (I love that pic)
