Annika’s First Self-Portraits

Sunday, 14. March 2010 19:41

Annika recently discovered that Daddy’s camera has a remote release. So, she tried her hand at some self-portraiture. Some day, her composition skills will catch up with her cuteness.

Here are some examples of what Annika regularly gathers into her arms before she deems herself ready to go off to bed.  Typical items include bears and blankets (both plural), a doll, and her bouncy ball.

Who says men can’t multi-task?

Thursday, 23. July 2009 20:03

Women get a lot of hype about being “Supermoms”, but I’m pretty sure I’m married to a “Superdad”.  This is what I saw when I came back from cleaning up Annika’s bath paraphernalia.  And yes, Jonathan was reading a story out loud to Annika, not just looking at the book with her. . .

Hail to the Chief

Sunday, 5. July 2009 18:14

Sometimes people ask how Annika is handling her new role as Munchkin-in-Chief.  The answer is, she has slowly become more comfortable.  A few days after the babies came home from the hospital, this conversation occurred:

Jenelle: Annika, do you like the babies?

Annika: No.  All done.  Babies go home.

Annika’s First Blackeye

Saturday, 21. March 2009 22:33

Annika got her first shiner this week.  It happened in her karate class.  I guess when you have a half-dozen toddlers wielding nunchuks, something is bound to happen.  You should see the other kid.

Do you know what the best time of day is?

At our house, it’s bed time.

(In the later part of the video, Annika is looking at the viewfinder screen on the camera, which has been turned toward her.)

Annika and Jonathan

Jenelle thinks these pictures show how much Annika looks like Jonathan when he was little.  What do you think?

Halloween 2008

Sunday, 2. November 2008 11:57

Once again, Jenelle whipped out her sewing talents for Halloween this year.  Autumn gave us a ladybug costume for Annika, so Jenelle made a ladybug costume for herself and a manbug costume for Jonathan.
