strolling

Emery and I met some Jiles and some LeSues, along with Chickie, for lunch at the new Paradise Bakery. Erin and I had been so excited to try it, we unknowingly attempted to go there a week before it even opened. I believe that today we were there on their third day of operation and the staff was a bit... overly friendly. After being asked 27 times if we'd like help choosing our meal ("What are you in the mood for? Do you like asian inspired salads? Can I interest you in some soup? Would you care for an overpriced sandwich? How about a cookie? Can I carry your tray? Do you enjoy brownies?"), we ordered and paid and ate. The fabulous company made up for the not-so-delicious-although-I-wanted-it-to-become-my-fave-eatery lunch. Holly had to pick up Inez from preschool and my mom had to go to Activity Days, so Erin and I were left with three little ones that needed naps. What a terrific time to head to Target!

While Erin and Susannah were in the restroom, I snapped a few pics...

this one sums up the personality differences in our little men:
Emery with a concerned look, about to cry out for his mother to hold him
and Jack, entertaining himself and cooing like a champ


My boy poses like no other!


Jack anticipating an earful from Emery


commence the crying

Susannah snuck a onesie from the baby aisle and entertained herself trying it on

(notice the other onesies on the ground that were almost in her grasp...)
