my iPhone tells the story most days

I love the camera in my phone. It helps me remember the everyday moments that make up our lives - especially those for which I am too lazy to schlep out the SLR (most of them).

I just synched (sp?) my iPhone for the second time since getting it this summer. Oops. Who has time to do this on a regular basis? Anyway, I had 200 photos and a few videos that I did not want to lose, and now that they are safely harbored in iPhoto I thought I'd share a few with you.

The sweet little form of our newest babe on the way... (4 weeks ago)

One of many doctor's visits, keeping Robbie entertained and off the floor...



Sick babies who both woke up around 10 or 11pm one night and had a party in our bed. With milk... I won't pretend that we didn't enjoy it, but we were tired the next day.



Mima and Papa playing with the kids while I got Sunday dinner on the table...



Little man, mimicking everything Rob does... especially on Saturday mornings.



I usually hear Robbie exclaim "Best fwiends!" just before catching this image in the rear view mirror...



Somebody likes his new trick.



He set this up by himself. How do boys know to do this without being taught?



"Hiiiii!"



Acorn inspection.



Another day, another child shoving donut holes into her cake hole.
She's a lady.



Good hygiene is important.



We take turns tending to Robbie when he doesn't feel like staying in his big boy bed until he falls asleep. This was Rob's night. And one of my favorite pictures ever. And yes, that is a twin bed!



Shopaholic. It was a fight to eventually get those sunglasses off of him.



After a busy morning of playing at Mima's house...



Again, with the I-want-to-be-like-daddy... all that's missing is pants.



Her immediate response when I asked her if we could pray together for Papa after his motorcycle accident...



****WARNING****
If you are squeamish, don't look at the next picture of my dad's arm injury from the motorcycle accident.

Does Ellie look shocked to be hugged in the bath tub by her brother? That's because she is usually splashed, pushed, getting water dumped on her head and toys taken out of her hands. It was a rare moment indeed. We'll pretend that this is how we end every day.



It takes a lot of frog-kissing to find a prince. Ellie has decided there's no time to waste.

SO cute! Your days are full of SO much fun and SO many great memories! I'm so glad you have your camera phone to catch all of them! Robbie and Ellie are just TOO much! So cute!!! I can't believe how big they've both gotten. Ellie's hair is so long and adorable. I LOVE the ultrasound picture! So awesome to see your new little one. The picture from the doctor's office is so fun -- you look AMAZING!!! And, I can't believe the picture of your Dad's injury -- even though it's a nasty hole, I can't believe he walked away with just that! Praise the Lord for His protection! Thanks so much for sharing your daily lives with me. I love keeping up with you guys through your blog.

(Oh, and I love the new picture and background! Very pretty!)

I love that your iPhone can capture everyday moments of your cute kids. I love the one of Robbie hugging Ellie in the tub and holding her hand.
