We have a sage in our house. He is 5.5 years old and would like spiderman on his 6 year birthday cake. A thing that he reminds me every week or so just to make sure I don’t forget. Can you guess who this person might be? It’s… Qade! He certainly thinks that he has a good grasp on the reality of most situations and doesn’t mind...

Conversation with Qade today on the way to church. Qade: I’m going to have 5 kids! (from previous conversation he wants 3 boys and 2 girls, he’s got this worked out. Ha ha!) Myles isn’t going to live in my house. Me: Who is going to live in your house? Qade: My wife, when I find one, and my kids. Me: Can I stay at your house sometimes? Qade: Yeah,...

Seems I’m late(r) with these every year. *sigh* Oh well, I can always try to turn over a new leaf this year. I just had the startling realization that De Bella needs her 2 yr old photos done, and it a week and a half Myles will be turning 4! Unreal how time flies! Anyway, as I mentioned before when I posted one of Qade’s photos, this session with...

Still, these ARE our monkeys, and after awhile just letting them sit there I decided that I do actually like them! Who knew? Anyway, I took these early on in the summer, and here they...

Well, it happened. July 12, 2012 Qade lost his first tooth. It’s premature so who knows when he’ll get a “big” tooth that he’s so interested in. Ha ha! But I confess that toothless kids are so stinkin’ cute! One of his first questions when the tooth came out was, “Can I get my 5 yr old pictures done now?” So I...

I’m still in denial about Qade being 5, but he is very proud of that fact. He enjoys telling everyone, “I’m 5 now.” as if that was the goal all along. Though he has informed me that at his next birthday he’ll be 6 and then 7 after that, and so on. I feel like telling him to hold on and not get big so fast. BUT… you know how...
