Whew. Its been a while. I have a lot of things to blame my absence on..... but truthfully, it was just the first trimester energy drain. I just haven't had energy to blog or take pictures (I took a total of 5 pictures during our 4 Christmases and honestly, I handed the camera to J so he could take them). You know its bad when I'm not up for taking pictures.
Anyhow, last Saturday I rounded up all of Kiran's toys and separated them into three bins to rotate through on a weekly basis. Sometime during that I realized that I felt pretty good; I didn't need to lay down for a minute (or twenty) and I was thrilled. Since then my energy is slowly reappearing. I've made dinner two days in a row (both in the crockpot but hey it counts- creamy potato soup is in my brand new huge crockpot RIGHT NOW!) and Jonathan is estastic about that.
Speaking of Jonathan, he rocks. He's cooked and cleaned for the last 8 weeks plus taken care of both Kiran & me when we had the stomach virus at the same time and run to CVS for _________ multiple times. So props to you Jonathan. Taking a cue from Jill's dad, I'd say I have good taste in men.
So I have a lot to blog about- I think going back to um how embarrassing is this? THANKSGIVING. But I'm up for it. Let's just start with the present- our photo shoot today. Actually Kiran was begging to play outside and taking my camera was the only way I could forget about the cold for 15 minutes (this child was laughing in the cold wind on our way into Ingles yesterday- it was a wind chill of like 20??? She is so not an Indian baby).
I love love love the big red poofy jacket my mom found at our fave consignment shop (have I blogged about that? Maybe I shouldn't- then you can't run down there and buy all the good stuff). And I love love love that we found matching red/pink hat and mittens at Old Navy. It makes me really happy. Even if it is 34 degrees outside.

I love it when kids look like a marshmallow because they are so bundled up! "I can't put my arms down..." Cute pics. Welcome back to the real world. And yes, Jonathan rocks. He was a real man this week - you know - cutting firewood and making fires and all. Good times.
He pretty much was....Master of the House.
ha. Master Jonathan! I am glad you are back! I have missed you on here!! I saw a picture of you on Merritt's blog and it made me happy! MUAH!
She looks adorable all bundled up. Glad you are starting to feel better - hang in there! Also glad you are back to blogging - I missed you! :)
YUM - that soup sounds good :)
Kiran looks awesome :) I love her little hat & coat :) FUN!
The soup was good. I ate the leftovers for lunch today. Well Kiran helped me A LOT.
can you share your soup recipe, please? I am trying one new recipe a week now, and I love potato soup, and I love anything in the crock pot.
I really need to reiterate my comment about how you should start a business specializing in candid kiddie shots. even your everyday snapshots are amazing. the pictures you took of nathan at furman are some of my favorites - he's just so... NATHAN, and you managed to capture that. Kiran, too - that close-up is beautiful!
First of all, that is one of the most meaningful compliments I've ever gotten. Thank you Erin! I love taking pictures of Kiran! Maybe someday I'll share my secrets with you.... BWAHAHHAHA.
And yes I'll put the recipe up soon. But that would require getting up right now and that just ain't going to happen.
ok, if you're reading this comment, it means you have gotten up since your last post, AND returned to your computer! now go get that recipe! :)
