We went back to Pinecrest Gardens, with Grant.

And Grant actually knows how to take pictures in a way that makes sense.



My favorites,

OMG Elise looks like a little mini you!!! I love how it's all brunette, brunette, brunette, brunette, o hai blonde! Sometimes I wonder if I'd just have another Jane/Erica/Emma clone were I to have more babies.

Looks like a fun day for all :)

Everytime I see pictures of your girls I am BLOWN AWAY by how identical they are. I really would not ever know if you tried to pass of Jane as Erica/vice versa. It's crazy!

And yes, Elise is uncannily like me. It's kind of awesome, because I really don't see myself so clearly in any of the others in such an overall way. Annie has freakishly exact clones of my hands and feet, for instance, and my chin is strong in the dna apparently...but Elise is all me all over.

I know! How is it possible to have the same child three times over?

The other day, my friend Bianca was looking at my flickr photos which were not labeled, and she mistook Erica for Jane. And she's like, known me for 10 years....met my kids several times. lol.

Yeah, I can see you in all the kids but Elise is a very close copy. Most of my kids are an even mix of Roger and me but I think Jane looks a lot like I did as a child.

I know! I was so happy about that one, and the one of Aaron doing a handstand in a stream of water. She was killing us with the cute that day.

ZOMG YOUR KIDS ARE SO FREAKING CUTE.

Yeah so when do we get to see you guys?

I wish :/ We're brainstorming fundraising ideas to get Aaron to be able to go to New York with the rest of his hip hop class so they can go on to nationals after winning in Orlando...and that is like, extremely challenging :/

Maybe the answer can be something like, "When I get a book deal" :D

Don't worry, I was being facetious. :) One day we'll make it down there, I'm sure... we've been doing this sort of serious talk about having a road trip "when we can afford it". We'd have to have a savings set aside of several thousand dollars, but we'd totally do it when/if we ever do.

Good! Is that a term currently in use or have we necessitated a whole new phrase? Grant is all about the neology :p

What are the tshirts Annie and Aaron are wearing?

[identity profile] theneolistickid.livejournal.com 2010-05-06 09:52 pm (UTC)(link)
It's from their dance classes

Those are the matching shirts they got at the company party I wrote about the other day. They say "Quiet Fire" big and then company information and 2010, on the back.

The sass is way too much in this picture.

Should I ask her to tone it down?

[identity profile] altarflame.livejournal.com 2010-05-06 11:47 pm (UTC)(link)
Noel, don't put up with this. You have to draw a line in the sand!

[identity profile] theneolistickid.livejournal.com 2010-05-06 11:56 pm (UTC)(link)
Nice to know which side of the line you stand on. :'(
