A new business is born...

So, it may surprise some of you (oh, who am I kidding - it's going to surprise everyone!) that we have a new business in the family - and Jimmy is not running it!!! I've opened an Etsy shop for my photo blocks - you can visit my shop by clicking on the gadget on the right. If you are already a member of Etsy, I would love it if you would make me your "favorite" and I'll make you mine! Take a look and tell me what you think :)

Happy 2nd, Anna!

We had Anna's 2nd birthday party this weekend and had a total blast. There were a ton of friends and family here at the house, and the birthday girl enjoyed eating a BUNCH of cheese (like mother, like daughter), splashing in the pools with the friends, opening presents and eating "cake!"

After everyone left, Anna decided to head back out to the slip 'n slide. Unfortunately, her non-swimmer diaper held her back :)

Anna and Keegan. I think Anna likes her trike!!!

Showing off her new trike to the boys in the neighborhood. Check out that fancy tutu she has on - thanks, Auntie M! I have a feeling Alex and Mitch have never seen anything quite like this before... :)

Mimi and the girls

MMMMM....cupcakes!

Mommy and Daddy with the birthday girl
And here are some photos from the last week or so:
Megan showing off her new skill - standing up! She is a pro at pulling up on everything

What is it with the Wright girls and sunglasses?

I can't believe I have two little girls who are big enough to stand next to each other!

Anna spent most of one afternoon last week running around yelling "dog hat!" while wearing her dog costume.

Megan's 9 month photos / Boston

We got Megan's 9 month photos done a couple weekends ago in Austin, and as always they are darling. Check out this website:


The password is "megan". I don't yet have the CD of the photos, so I can't post any on the website, but I will try to do that soon.

This last weekend, Jimmy and I took a belated "babymoon" to Boston to visit our friends Will and Mary Beth. A special thanks goes to them for hosting us, and to Donna Audrey, Avelyn, Mimi and Pop for keeping the girls while we were gone. We had such a blast! Here's some photos from the trip:

Jimmy and I always end up doing the "prom pose" for pictures - so we decided to shake things up a bit for this pic in front of Walden Pond
Will (good photo, huh?!?)
Eating canolli and a black and white cookie (yes, Seinfeld fans, that's right - I got it) in front of Mike's Pastry (famous for their Italian treats)
The four of us inside Old North Church (scene of "The British are coming!") This is a terrible photo, but it's the only one I got of all four of us. I guess I don't take pics anymore unless they're of my daughters!

The cherry trees were blossoming in Boston, which was a highlight for me

We went for seafood at a great place called the Barking Crab on Saturday night, and this is what our table neighbors ordered - a 10 pound lobster. We were just shocked by how huge it was.
