Friday Favorites - Wedding Edition

Next weekend we'll be off to Boston for a very special wedding. Molly is to be the flower girl at my cousin Lisa's wedding. Miss Molly is beyond excited because in her book Lisa and Angelo walk on water and she is thrilled they asked her.

Brenna was the flower girl in Feb. 2004 for one of Lisa's sisters, Sharon (who is also Molly's godmother) I was looking through some of those photos and wanted to share . . .

Sharon and her mini-me.

You can't even see their faces and yet it's one of my favorites!

Too sweet!

Five Friday Favorite Molly Fotos

Molly had to bring in a baby picture today so I decided to post the five she was deciding between as this week's contribution. I think she picked some pretty representative shots actually! Can you guess which one she eventually chose as her favorite?

These were all taken at roughly the same time when she was only a few months old.

#1 - Does she look bored by life or what?

#2 Miss Inquisitive

#3 Those sky blue eyes

#4 Chunky Monkey

#5 See? She did smile sometimes!

Five Springtime Friday Favorites

Dress up time - 2005

Popsicles on the front step - 2004 (I love their expressions sizing each other up!)

Brenna after her preschool Olympics (or Olypstics as she called it!) age 4 1/2

Molly with that megawatt smile (and a whole lot of teeth! She had her 8 front teeth and all 4 first molars long before she was a year old)

Sisterly love before church one morning - 2003

Friday Favorites - Easter Edition

Let's revisit some Easter photos of the past . . .

Brenna in 2001 - must have been warm because we had azaleas blooming!
Brenna in 2002 - this would have been just weeks before Molly was born
Molly in 2003

(Easter 2004 -there are no photos! That was the year we drove home from Florida on Easter Sunday so it really was the Easter that wasn't!)

Goofing around on Easter 2005

Easter 2006 - the gals with their cousin Nora

Easter 2007 - Molly making a bunnymobile at Uncle George's. They are so sad to be missing those festivites this year! I'll have to get Peeps and Twinkies tonight so we can do them here!

Five Friday Favorites - Irish Edition

"When Irish eyes are smiling . . . Sure they'll steal your heart away!" Brenna at the DC St. Pat's parade 2001

My little leprechaun - 2002 (she made this hat in a kid's art class we went to) This is one of my all-time favorite pictures!

Two lassies at the DC parade - 2004

Brenna at the Alexandria VA parade in 2005

(we got good use out of that sweater as you can see!)

Molly at the parade 2006 - another favorite because I love that grin!

HAPPY ST. PATRICK'S DAY EVERYONE!!

Five More Friday Favorites

This was a surprise for Grandpa - our very own Harley dude. We snuck this custom rocker out of his house (in the middle of a snowstorm) and had this made for him. Brenna was about 18 mos. old.

I love this one. Those pudgy fingers and wispy hair . . . Molly in Sept. 2003 - 17 mos.

Brenna at the zoo - April 2002, just a few days before Molly was born. Age 2 1/2
Molly age 15 mos. I saved this romper becasue it makes me think of this photo and that sweet little smirk!

The girls during our 1 day visit to Disney in April 2004. Molly was just 2 and Brenna was 4 1/2.

Five Favorites!

It's that time again (if anyone is not bored to tears yet!) It's been a long and crazy week but all is well!

Molly at the Glen Echo carousel. I loved these shorts she's wearing - a nice soft microfiber in the same blue as her eyes. July 2004
I love this smile! Nov. 2004 so she had just turned 5. Why does that seem like so long ago?
Molly at Ocean City in August 2006.

Brenna's nursery school "graduation" - she's four and Molly had just turned 2.

We are home today on our first (but hopefully not last - although it's nearly March!) snow day so I re-thought the pictures I was going to post and found some nice beach/pool ones instead!

This was hard because I have a ton of fun ones of my little beach bunnies and I still can't get my scanner working to get some of the earlier ones of Brenna onto my computer.

Oh well - I hope you enjoy these ones at least!

This is Brenna age 3 1/2 and Molly age 1 (this was actually the day before her birthday)

in 2003 during a trip to Daytona Beach

Brenna and Molly practically looking like Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Calendar models

during the summer of 2005 at the neighborhood pool!

Is Molly's expression and pose not hilarious? And it was totally candid!

Brenna age almost 7 during a trip to Ocean City MD. She's a beach girl for sure.

Today's Favorite Five!

My little dancer. Brenna in 2003.

Molly on Valentine's Day in 2005. I like her hair shorter.
An old scrapbook page from Brenna in 2001. I have to plug in my new scanner and get more older pictures of her. She came along before my digital camera!

This helps me remember that it is

never,

ever,

EVER

a good idea to give a baby red Jello.
Unless she is needed as a stunt double in a horror flick!

This is from Brenna's nursery school field trip to the grocery store.

How funny are those two sets of eyes peering over the cookie display?

Molly has a cold this week so I thought I'd post this one from April 03. She had croup and this was also the day we discovered she was allergic to asparagus and broke out all over her face. Is this not the most pitiful thing you've ever seen?

I love that fluffy hair! Molly's about 9 mos. old here.

Their personalities really come out in some photos! July 2005

Pensive Brenna. I'm guessing she's about a year old here.

"Yeah whatever." says Molly. Feb. 03
