Bumbo time !!!

first time in the bumbo !!!

and so obviously, she was a little shy...

 but she sure kicked these alot

 and took in her toy from a different angle..

 then she enjoyed her second bath of the day. ( surely I don't need to explain why she had TWO baths today )

mischevious lanier

so when you let her have free roam of the house... this is what you may find

 ugh... I want to EAT her !!

we are running around the house today in hopes that it SNOWS tomorrow.  We are suppose to get somewhere between 2 and 7 inches of snow and I have to work... I always have to work when in snows... I am curious to see how the roads are going to look at 6 in the morning... we will SEE

last couple days

 snapping some shots of the girls this evening.  Lanier is sooo sweet with Marrin; sharing her toys and giving kisses.  I thought I could steal this double diaper change moment and get a couple cute pictures of them together

 playing with our new Christmas toys

 and still enjoying those "old" ones too

 

 it is so sweet seeing Lanier and how she LOVES her babies

 a little Mer Bear loungin' in my lap

 Mommy of the Year in the making

my dad came by to visit while I was a work .  He is gearing up to welcome his 3rd granddaughter in April !!

trying to convince us it's not bedtime yet... 

our littlest smile... she loves being entertained by her daddy 

new camera...

no words needed...

loungin' around

just loungin' around today...

tea time ( and one of my favorites)

 sporting her new rain boots

and these are the last pictures of our family with this camera... I am looking forward to seeing the beautiful images it will capture of the Nagem family !!! 

back at it...

So I am back at it again... Back to work :(.  I really do not have too much to complain about, I love my job and I only work 3 days a week.  However, they are 12 hour LONG days and getting home late stinks.  THANK GOODNESS I have my mom and mother in law who watch our little ones.  We are very Blessed.  So on Monday I hit the floor running. We were very busy, as was Tuesday and my poor poor feet were killing me. 
  As much as  I love my job, I would love to stay at home and care for these little ones.  It's just that I have it sooo good.  I kinda get the best of both worlds, stay at home mom and working mother.  That being said, I hope to go to two 12 hour days and one 8 hour day and still be full time. We will see  !!! 
No pictures in this post, I am getting ready to sell mine and am awaiting my new one tomorrow !!!!! SOOO excited !!! 
As crazy as I am in reguards to the amount/plethera of pictures I take, recently, and under the saddest of circumstances,  I have come to the realization that these photos are ALL we have to remind us of those times that seem to fade so fast from our minds.  You can't go back to yesterday and tomorrow is not yet here. So to me its not just about capturing those " special " times, (birthdays, christmas, christenings..)  its about the silly simple days we spend playing around the house.  Its capturing and cherishing every possible moment I can with my family. It's being able to look at a picture and laugh, knowing that I can almost touch that moment in time, that moment that might have been lost forever, had I not takin' the time to snap just one shot.  So as I squeeze a little tighter and love a little longer all while enjoying the screams and cries that fill my house with a little more patience.  I also vow to continue to shoot away, adding to the more 15,000  pictures I just put on DVD's.  And one day, just one day, my children may be able to see them all, but at this rate and they are only 21 months and 11 weeks, they may never be able to view all of them.  But you know what, they will ALWAYS be there and those moments will never fade !!!


please keep the harrisons in your thoughts and prayers

last days of 2010

It has yet to be used... but this looks promising :).  Lanier likes to sit on it, but that's as far as we have gotten.

gotta love little squished toes

my sleeping beauty

and her crooked fingers she sucks

the littlest sleeping beauty

as the storms rolled in on New Years Eve

Casey Jones

this is funny.  Mom called from the liberty bowl and asked how the weather looked... ( for those of you out of town, we are the county next to the river that has no warnings in it)

Happy NEW Year from the WHOLE Treadwell bunch.

this and our bath last evening were as close as we came to Champagne bubbles and it couldn't have been any more PERFECT !!!

my Marrin looks so BIG

A spoonful of... sisterly love

Lanier helped me make some dip. Then this morning we had playtime in bed

and when Tim went to peek on her at nap time, this is what he found ( an yes we have enjoyed having jammie day the last two days )

for some reason I couldn't post above this picture. So a girlfriend of mine put hers on her blog, so I am copying.  This is an app in facebook that puts your years status updates and compiles them.  This is probably 1/4 of mine but I thought it would be cool to put on here. Sums up the events that occurred over the year. 

 

to 2011........
