The Baehr Wedding

Meghan and Ryan got married in a cool gallery, Salvage One.  Her dress was covered in pearls that guests donated and the bottom skirt came off for the reception to reveal a hot party dress (ingenious idea)!

Look at this goofy child

In the first pic, she climbs into the hamper while I’m doing laundry.  In the next pic is her “confused” face.  If you ask her to show you “confusion,” this is what you’ll get.  In the last picture, she’s just being goofy.  She started running around squealing and dancing for no reason - there wasn’t even music playing (what goes on in her head?)

Ready for school

are my pants too short…maybe I’m getting taller?

Cheers on a good day and whining on the bad days

At some point, she will need to know what to do when somebody says, “cheers.”  She loves to toast and cheers people now.  This same night, she broke 2 small glasses bc she was toasting everything, the dishwasher, island cabinets and the wall.

On a bad day, there is no toasting going on: 

Olivia’s 1yr (1.5 yr) pics

We meant to get these done for her 1st birthday, but we are running a little late (as is our holiday cards).

Jen and her husband, Mike, came over and took pictures of us (mostly Olivia) this weekend. They were so much fun to work with, and Olivia had fun showing off her dance moves to new people. She enjoyed them so much, she kept wanting to play with what they were playing with, their cameras.

Also, for the 2nd time in her life, we got her hair into pigtails! We had to do something, bc her hair is growing out like a mullet (sp?) - longer in the back and short in the front…yikes!

Here are some pics posted on the photographers site: http://jensoaresphotography.blogspot.com/
