Random pictures

Yes, I just downloaded pictures for the first time in several weeks. Hence the blogging triple-play.

I took a decent picture of myself. I've noticed that I only ever take pictures of my kids, and while they're incredibly cute, many of my friends have never met them and might want to know what I am up to these days. Or at least what I look like. So I will lie and say that I look like this every day:

Penny has been progressing in her potty training, mostly due to this handy little device:

Yes, that is our 2-year-old using an iPad. It's ridiculous, but she loves to play it. It makes a good bribe for using the potty.

I'm very glad I bought the stroller I did. It's so convenient to take our two little girls out in it. Sometimes Penny likes riding in the front, and other times she likes riding in the back. She has fewer people come pinch her arms and cheeks when she's riding in back, so it surprises me that she chooses the front so often. When we walk by, people will do a double-take and say, "Woah, there's ANOTHER one in the back!"

Naomi is super cute. We found these shoes that my mom gave us, and it merited a picture or two.

I made Penny a riding cape for her dress-up box (a work in progress... more on this later). I thought it turned out cute, and I'm extremely proud of it. Here we have Daddy Panda modeling it for the camera. Penny refuses to wear it. I try not to be offended.

But Daddy Panda loves it, and so do I.
