A photo essay

"A picture paints a thousand words, so why can't I paint you? Blah blah blah blah blah blah, the you I've come to knoooooow...."

That song comes to me from childhood memories, I don't know who sang it or what it's called, and apparently I don't remember some of the words.

Just a few Camille facts, then pictures to show the rest:

• She turned 1 on Thanksgiving Day
• She's been walking about 3 weeks
• She and Trevor love to play together
• She can say "uh-oh" at the appropriate time. Which she causes to happen regularly.
• I quit my job.
• My anonymous poster gave itself away.

The pictures:

We have been gifted with many fine new baby girl toys: doll houses, dolls, fluffy animals, random pink and lavendar things, and Camille likes to play with:

Trevor's cars

Trevor's Power Rangers Mystic Force Solar Streak Megazord

Munchkin, AKA "Pud"...














... until Munchkin starts to get ticked off, in which case she attempts to stare Camille down, which ultimately does not deter Camille, so...














... she hisses at Camille and leaves, and Camille cries the cry of the truly heartbroken.

Camille's first taste of peanut butter, a resounding success.

It got down to like, SIXTY-FIVE DEGREES (farenheit)!!! so we had to bundle up. Global warming my left foot!

More pictures

I am glad to see that we still have a few dedicated readers, even if one of you is anonymous. Ah, the world wide web.

Maybe I will manage a real post sometime soon. But in the meantime, here are more pictures.


Trevor set up and took this shot.
















I love this shot! It's so abstract. Trevor set up and took this too, with the automatic timer. Clever one he is.



dimples and teeth and pajamas and wet hair



Camille and Greta. They are from the same orphanage, and both live here in the same town. They are 1 month apart in age.

Anyone still reading here?

Please comment if you are still reading here. Don't know that anyone is checking it (not that us not posting in 2 months would have anything to do with that....)

A treat for the faithful.... some new pictures of Camille, taken in the last week!


In her "Little Sister" t-shirt

Our little upcake!

Happy bathtime... before the actual bathing begins













And for comparison purposes, Trevor and his cousin, Halloween 2000...

... and now, Trevor and the same cousin, Halloween 2006. Oh for the days of Tigger and Pooh!
