Green

I think this was one of the "outfits" that worried Mike a little...afraid he might start teaching Jazzercise or something one day. Not that there would be anything wrong with that...necessarily. I took about 6 pictures of her in green. In all of them she looked as if someone might have spiked her drink at the St. Patrick's day parade.


Red

Joseph was losing interest by this point - all I could get on him was a hat.


Bein' a Colah - Blue

Should Olivia fall into a water hole in her kimono and mardi gras beads, she should float. I have to confess that during this whole dress-up process, Mike expressed concern several times for damage I might being doing to Joseph. I'm not sure what he meant. Clearly, Olivia has come with her own sense of style that we have done little to disuade - see above photo or just come by our house any time. Lately, it has been a pair of white paton (how do you spell that?) leather shoes that apparently go with everything - and I have swallowed my Southern upbringing and allowed her to wear them to church before Easter.
Anyone know what song the post title is from...if you care to admit you listen(ed) to him???

Installments

I have a couple of groups of pictures that I think I will start posting in installments - on days when there isn't much going on or no pictures to post. I am trying to get back in the habit of posting daily so that the parents (grandparents that is) can get their daily fix when we are out in San Diego...that's right, we made our decision - come July(ish) we are headed to San Diego.

So the first installment was influenced by this kid, or his mother actually. This is Harkins - the little one in the striped shirt. This was his birthday party a few weeks ago - very mature party for a 2-year-old, we played croquette. Anyway, as a fun party activity his mother brought out color coded bags of dress-up type stuff. The point was to dress up in one color and get your picture taken. You compile all the pictures in a little book and you have a nice little book from which to learn your colors. Olivia knows her colors of course, but Joseph can use it.
This picture is dark, but I had to post it. Harkins is a hugger - sounds like a Seinfeld episode - The Hugger.
P.S. Mike and I drafted up an email letter describing how we made our decision to move to San Diego. We sent it to a lot of people, but some emails got sent back to me. We would love to forward it on to anyone who wants to keep abreast on our journey from here. We are currently working on another letter to give more details about Harbor (the church we are going to) and the when's, how's, whatnot's, and whathaveyou's of our move. We would love to pass that along to anyone interested as well. Feel free to email me or comment here. mandymcbride@sbcglobal.net
Stay tuned for the color installments.
