A Little Chaos: Photos

Happy Halloween!

Kylen, as bear. He did not understand the concept, but dutifully ran alongside Riley, pawing at his little head.

Unclear on the concept. Riley kept wearing his candy basket on his head. Once the first 3 Muskateers hit the bag, however, he was all business.

I have no idea why the gloves enhanced the outfit. He wore the mask for a few houses, but kept taking those big, high strides thinking he was about to climb a step, when there was none there. I finally realized, as in this picture, that he only had one good eye to work with. As candy was involved, he did not complain.

Kylen, 22 Months

'Nuff said.

The Outer Banks, 2005

Ophelia who???

Our yearly adventure, for the (very small portion of the) world (who knows and loves our kids) to see. (Then again, the little buggers are irresistible on film).

A Day at the Beach

Pure sunny goodness from the Outer Banks.

Riley Makes the Bed (and my day)

This is my favorite Riley face. Puzzled bemusement.

Happy boy, Short hair

Good grief, can I wait any longer between photo uploads? Love this kid.

A Few Minutes With The Boys

I started going through some old photos and video...I can't believe Riley is on the brink of four, but there it is. Kylen can stay 18 months old forever. He has my permission.

Deja Vu

Haven't we been here before?

We both heard Riley get

We both heard Riley get up this morning. He clumped around for a bit, then went quiet. Being half asleep I wasn't too focused. Then we heard a pretty good thump. Traci went to investigate and found that the boy had completely dressed himself, shoes and all. Now, this took some doing, as his underwear and socks are in the top drawer of his dresser. But ingenuity finds a way. In this case, it was a fairly close brush with the emergency room, as the picture testifies. Riley doesn't quite understand the concept of gravity, or consequences, for that matter. But the little bugger was dressed from head to toe, and, unlike yesterday, he got the full wardrobe today. Yesterday he kept complaining about his "tickle pants," which was pretty confusing until I took them off to discover he was going commando.

Photo's out of focus, but you get the idea.

Riley took this picture. I thought he framed it in an interesting way. I'm sure he was mostly concerned with how to push the button, since many of his other shots are of his shoes. But you never know.

Menace to Society

It's a bit dated, but I like this picture of the wildman. His Pirate phase comes and goes. For the full effect, he needs the mustache (or mushtash as he calls it).
