Summer!

This is one of the many things I'm doing this summer...

And this is all Harley ever does. Even when I poke him....

The Family Photo--Alex Turns 18!

July 14th, 2007: my big brother can now drive *and* buy cigarettes! (Dad is really hoping for a cigar for his birthday....)

Emerson Pollock

Here I am in my painting shirt (which was white before this morning).

It is so tough, this art thing!

I call this shot, "Artist in Repose".

My art table! Dad has set me all up! And Grandma Pat gave me the table...

Uncle Steve!

Uncle Steve introducing me to the noogie.

Uncle Steve, me and Dad--this guy thing is fun!

Uncle Steve teaching me the ways of sibling warfare. Just wait 'til Harley gets older--he's in big trouble!!

Bath Time

Harland after his first bath...the look of annoyance is not feigned.

My New Sleeping Position

This new glider of Mom's is great...rocks me right to sleep!

Harley!

Mom and Harland chillin' after the birthday festivities.

Harland showing off his incredible alertness to an adoring public of Heidi and Mom. Honestly, I don't know what the big deal is. I can do everything he can do and more.

Thanks for the great truck, Grandma Kathy!

Yum! Cake!

And here's what the cake looked like after...well, until the next morning when Mom, Dad and I ate the rest for breakfast.

The gang's all here!

Me and Aunt Laura!

Me and my best girl Lilli....

Here I am running my train on the best tasting tracks EVER!

My 2nd Birthday Party!

My most amazing Thomas the Tank Engine Cake that Heidi made!

Wilma spoiling me--again! She and Peg just spoil me *rotten*!

Surprise! It's a Thomas book! Yippie!

Going Home...Finally!

Here we are about to head home (Alex took off for the beach--he's the smart one!).

And here's what happens when we get home...hey, don't we have a picture of me sleeping with Dad just like that? This must be the Carmine family tradition.

Grandma Pat and Harland James

And *this* is why the hospital is so fun. (Or is this why *Dad* is so fun???)

Getting ready to head home....

My New Little Brother Arrives

The Boyz in the Hood!

Yup, I'm a big brother now.

Here I am calling to tell everyone.

This can get a little tedious....
