My Camera is Empty

I'm trying something new with photos (uploading them to Picasa first, then Blogger, so it's easier to photoshare) and I'm not experiencing the best cooperation from Blogger. I ended up having to embed the coding for the pictures. This is funny, since both Picasa and Blogger are operated by Google. You would think all things would jive. I am a loyal Google enthusiast, so I'm a little ticked that no one is recognizing this and bowing at my feet in submission.

You know, since I experience that every day here at home.

Ahem.

Anyway, let's see if these four pictures work out in blog land.

First, the boys play with their Grandma Case during her visit last weekend.



And dang, it's not letting me center this. Oh, well. And what is that line? Good grief.

Here we are before our symphony concert. You can't really see my new haircut. Suffice to say, we're going for a shorter bob with an asymmetrical look to it. One side of the front is longer than the other. Right now the longer side is short enough that it looks like maybe, just maybe, my hairdresser made a mistake. Once I set you straight, you are enthusiastic about how cute it is. I'm glad we cleared that up.


Here is Miss Thang sitting up like a big girl in the tub.



And here she is sitting up and reading like a big girl. I assure you, she is not leaning against the couch. There was space between it and her back. She still falls from time to time, and we've learned to give her support with a Boppy pillow and keep her far from furniture and other hard, pain-inducing objects. But for the most part, she's got it down. And she loves it.



Next up: crawling and putting weird things in her mouth. I just can't wait.

**And yes, I just published this and looked at it and realized the pictures aren't centered correctly and I JUST CAN'T FIX IT RIGHT NOW, the baby is crying, I need to go. Sorry.**

Great pics! I love them! Charlotte is getting to be such a big girl!

Also, I still look pregnant too. I'm not sure I will ever get that to go away...considering I'd like at least two more....

Charlotte has an infectious smile!! I just love it!! And I love the picture of her sitting by the couch. So introspective. I miss them! And you, too, sister. Thanks for the pattern! The diaper cover looks very cute. If you have questions, I'll help interpret where able.

I'm not making this up.

As I was reading your blog (read: neglecting my offspring) Oliver was wailing on the floor behind me. (Gone are the days of reading something like your friends blog in, say, peace and quiet.) Anyway, I was scrolling down and as soon as Charlotte's picture came up he stopped suddenly and without pause inquired, "Ooh! What's that guy?"

"That's Charlotte!!"

"Oh. Weading a book."

"Yep"

"I wannoo wead that book too!"

I think he might someday love Charlotte. She is a dream baby, after all. :)

Oh, can I also say that I am just wiggly in anticipation of your "sometime late spring/early summer" visit! I think a year will make a world of difference for these kids. They're going to have a BLAST! (And, we'll have a good time too!) :)

Stephen has already voiced his speculation over the future marriage of Mr. Oliver and Miss Charlotte. And I mean really, a mutual love of Sandra Boynton books is really all it takes.

Did you know our Case family musical includes a song called "What's This Guy Called?" It's a show-stopping number.

Oliver, you never cease to crack me up.
