pp used some iphone app to make beatle's eyes blue and now peeps think she really has blue eyes. i must say they work pretty well:

Wow!

she's been killing it here and on instagram.

Yeah. This pic killed me when I saw it on instagram. <3 BELLY.

Also, full confession - PP, when you posed the couple most recent pics of Bepps on IG I seriously didn't recognize her. This is in part because when the hell did she get so grown up also maybe because of the blue eyes. I seriously thought that was your niece or something.

Love that belly.

ha so many of you guys follow me on facebook/instagram that it feels redundant reposting here

I really went full-bore with that eye app for awhile, I do apologize.

mega belly!
here's goofy face sylvie. this is probably taken during her current fave pastime -- naming cars as they drive past our house.

she's pretty good -- "subaruuuuuuu!!!" "mini coooooper!" "toyoyoyota!"

haha awesome

wow geez I can't even tell cars apart at 29! (But I never learned to drive.)

yeah she's better than me at identifying cars. not sure how it happened exactly, but we bought a new car earlier this year and she really started paying attention.

Don't want to pull the thread too far down, but our family suffered a loss this weekend.

Veruca was like a big sister to our two kids. And, she was mine and Kate's first joint effort. (The cats were grandfathered in with the marriage.)

Fortunately, we took a zillion pictures of her. It would be difficult to forget our pup.

aw sorry for your loss. looks like a sweetie -- we had friends w/ a great dane and she was so good with kids.

x-post - Wait you mean she actually gets them right?! Damn.

OK so because I'm being all TRUE CONFESSIONS today here's another one, PP (and SS!). When you posted about Veruca on FB I read what you wrote out loud to RS and about 1/3 of the way through doing so I my voice started cracking and I totally choked up. I'm really sorry to hear about your sweet pup. <3

How are the kids doing? Do they really understand? I imagine that would be really hard to explain.

We were the ones who took it the hardest. When we later asked Beeps what she thought about it all, her response was "I didn't know grown-ups could cry."

Hammer's a little too young to really register anything with death, but he did crawl underneath the back deck from one side to the other yesterday.

"I didn't know grown-ups could cry."

Oh damn, I'm gonna do it again!

<3

Awww :( I'm so sorry, guys.

Very sorry to hear about Veruca.

Thank you all. She was a good dog.

Let's some more kid pictures, maybe with the pets with 'em!

"I didn't know grown-ups could cry."
This has me teary eyed, sorry about to hear about your Veruca. You have the greatest names to give your family members!

Here's Happy August

Is there no solace for the world-weary?

Only in apple juice.

given the shit we've been through, dillon opening his present for his 9th birthday this morning was a very special moment for me.

of course the whole thing was tinged with sadness, but clearly not for the little chap as his mind was on other far more important matters.

mark e: that's fantastic - glad you were able to give the guy a happy day.
scwantz! adorable!

Schwantz's kids were mere babbies when I started reading ILX. Seeing that makes me feel so old. So cute.

Mark - that look on his face is pure magic. <3

My mom just posted up a pic of me, my wife to-be, and my son on the day I adopted him, 3 years ago this past Tuesday:

Lovely.

Lulu gets a trophy for her football skills. (She's already broken it. Oh, the tears).

lol, i remember how into trophies i was as a kid.
graduation GIF is incredible, they really make kids do the cap n gown thing for kindergarten these days?

That was for PRESCHOOL! Pretty crazy these days...

no diss to anyone else on this thread, but damn michael jones, i am jealous of your photo taking skillzzzzz.

i take it taking pics is a hobby/job of yours

i.e. both those last photos of lulu are heartmeltingly wonderful.

Aw, thanks! Yes, hobby and very occasional paying job. I wish I had more video/audio of them...I can barely remember their voices from when they were 2 or 3...

yeah, michael jones wins the thread! great pics, great kids.
here's sylvie and her pal in the woods.

That's a wonderful picture.
