look-alikes?

day 27: so maybe little audrey looks a little like me? she even has my wonky eye, haha (which is caused by one pupil being a little bigger than the other, and she does have the same thing..weird, huh?)

dipping the goods pt. 2

day 26: so, todays dip of choice was french onion, haha..turkey dogs, sweet potato fries, and string cheese all into the dip! try not to gag :P

everything is better with ketchup!

day 25: the boys have been super picky eaters the last couple of days..i think they are just getting bored with the same old stuff..so tonight i put a little ketchup on their trays..which was met with MUCH delight..mac n cheese, broccoli, chicken nuggets, and mandarin oranges all went in the ketchup..and it got everywhere else too, no surprise ;)

sweet joe bean

day 24: the boys had a rare treat of getting to play in mommy and daddy's room after nap, just for kicks..bouncing on the bed, throwing everything in the bath tub..it was a ball..and joey was just a handsome little dude lookin for trouble

the two ronnies

day 23: i LOVE this picture LOVE it..we had spent the day at the aquarium, which is the boys' favorite place in the world..and ronnie was just in awe of the tank that had a walk way through it...and i was able to catch the awe in his face through his reflection :)

polka dot baby butt

day 22: well, audrey is just too cute in these little thermal jammies to not post..with her little bald spot on the back of her head..chewing on her teething rings (already!)

ahhhh sweet sleep

day 21: sometimes a picture can just speak for itself..more reasons than one why this was my favorite picture of the day ;)

"draw"?

day 20: our new favorite activity..coloring..now a days around our house you hear a constant drone of "draw?" and "drum?" (second favorite activity ;)

sibling (and blankie) love

day 19: ronnie woke up too early from his nap and came downstairs cranky..his mood changed when he saw his little sister laying on her mat. he kept saying "nap" and laying down next to her..and since he had his "bing" (blankie), he insisted she have one too..it was pretty darn adorable

quality daddy time

day 18: this doesn't happen nearly often enough

and now we forget

day 17: oh yeah, remember how i said the boys figured out what their chairs were for..

a smile that warms the soul :)

day 16: all pretty for a day out with mommy and daddy :)

me n my boys

day 15: just enjoying some quality time with 2 boys sharing my lap while watching elmo :)

fresh air!

day 14: we have been cooped up for a week..we finally had a couple of days in the 50's! so we took advantage and took to the great outdoors...well, our deck..but it was still nice ;)

cookie monster

day 13: you've heard of a milk mustache..well, how about an oreo mustache AND goatee?

oh! thats what they're for!

day 12: sesame street this morning found the boys finally using the chairs for their intended purpose! (instead of wrestling and throwing themselves on)

snack time!

day 11: snack time makes us clap our hands, and put our hineys in the air!

watching football

day 10: it was so freaking cold today..we all stayed in our PJ's all day..oddly enough except for Audrey. She is a little miss priss, she needed to dress up ;) Or maybe it was because she spit up on her PJ's..She actually wasn't feeling great, so it was nice to have this quiet snuggle time watching the game..

piano lessons

day 9: we are really gonna miss daddy when he goes back to work monday :(

sleep snuggles

day 8: i know this is a kind of crappy pic, but this is how i have to determine if the little lady is asleep, so i can put her down...i thought it was a pretty sweet pic too :)

funny bunny

day 7: i put audrey's bunny lovey on her head..she thought this was hilarious

where im happiest

day 6: in love

it's electric, boogie woogie woogie

day 5: 2 things about winter time..staying in pajamas all day, and keerazy static electricity

a moments peace

day 4: this was my view as i was feeding Audrey today in her room. it was just one of those moments where everything was so relaxed and i felt calm..this doesn't happen often :) I'm glad i captured the moment

J.E.T.S

day 3: getting them all to be somewhat still for a photo was challenging enough, i couldn't expect 3 smiles, haha or even 1
..i do credit these 3 with the Jets victory though ;)

relaxing with my loves

day 2: well...2 of my loves

new years day/3 months old

day 1: audrey's 3 month bday :) she was just so darn beautiful in her outfit from uncle dave and aunt deirdre

Intro :)

HI all! I thought I would give this photo-a-day blog thing a try. Don't worry, I will still keep the lowder chronicles updated (haha, not that i really update it anymore ;) promise i'm working on a big year end post right now). So here's the deal..Im going to try to take at least a picture a day (which i pretty much do anyways, i usually take a picture or 100 a day, haha), and i will pick my favorite each day and post it..just one. Should be easy enough! Easier said than done ;) SO I will allow myself to go back and update when i have not put a picture in, with a picture from that day.

So lets get this started. First I will introduce my awesome family..

first there was us..



me, nora and my husband ron

then came the 2 coolest little guys i've ever known..
first was ronnie,


then a minute later came joey,



then 10 days shy of 17 months later came little miss audrey


i hope you enjoy following us through this year..it should be an exciting one ;) thanks for coming along for the ride!
