Some of you may not want to see these, but I thought I'd remind y'all of what a Black Widow looks like.

here are the before and after photos of Ms. Black Widow #1

and here is Ms. Black Widow #2

We found #1 near the steps to our back patio. #2 was found on the front of our house the same week! I'm hoping these are the only 2 that we will ever see around here again! :)

my little slugger!

Noah, my little slugger!

his new approach after several strikes!

"I'm not a bery good hitter!"

"I did it, Mom!!!"

sibling love

Awww!!! ...how sweet!

Hmmm.... I've seen this look before!

Uh oh!!!!

...and she's down!

learning something new

Ally has learned how to tie her shoes. I am so proud of her, but don't like her growing up so fast! Somehow Noah always seems to make it into "her" pictures! At least this time he wasn't making silly faces.

the two of them

Noah's turn

Noah played pirate/police officer (notice the badge?) the other day. He seems to be doing very well without his sister at home during the day.

girl time

Today, Ally helped me out while I played with new camera settings. After looking at these photos, I've decided that she looks a little more grown up than I want her to, but we had fun! She took a few as well, and did a pretty good job! btw, most of these were taken with her daddy's old Chevy.
