The Boys - as Captured by Emily Mulkey Photography

We had Emily Mulkey of Emily Mulkey Photography take Everett's newborn photos and we couldn't be happier with how they turned out. Emily did Wyatt's pictures, too, and they are still my favorites. 
So, thanks to Emily, Aunt Sue, and some marshmallows, we were able to bribe Wyatt into a few family friendly poses. 

Here are a few of my favorites from the shoot:






I cannot get enough of this cuteness! Wyatt tries to Eskimo kiss Everett all of the time and then he ALWAYS says, "he's so tiny". Those two have had a lot of cute moments. Ev can be in a real freak out over tummy time and Wyatt will come over and say, "it's ok, Ev" and Everett will stop crying and just stare at Wyatt. Love it. 
Don't love the feeding schedule or how limited things are with two monkeys, but things are still evolving. Slowly. :)

Preschool

Today was W's first day of Preschool! Yay for everyone in the house. 
We decorated W's door so that when he came out this morning, there were streamers everywhere. Then we wrapped some of the banister, his breakfast chair, and left a present for him. Needless to say, he was pumped. 

We did a photo shoot in front of the house before he got into Daddy's Jeep and left for school. 


Jason took him into his classroom and said that W walked ahead of him the whole way there. In the classroom, he apparently had a hard time with sharing...but had no problem with kicking his parents to the curb. No tears were shed.

When I came to pick him up this afternoon, he cried because he didn't want to leave. I even offered up a slush as a bribe so that we could hit the road - no dice. He told me "No, Mama".

So, we are all pleased that preschool was a success on day one. We love his patient and wonderful teacher, Ms. Amanda, and we are looking forward to what the year brings. 

I can also say that I enjoyed spending some more one-on-one time with this guy...who is four weeks old today. I can't even believe it. I really don't know how people have more than one child. Maybe it gets easier, but...dang. For now, I'm glad my friend Cabernet is here to help me through. :)  Cheers.
