Baby blues
I took a few pictures of Iain in his adorable little blue teddy bear outfit, one that is now getting too small for him! :(
And I captured a few cute shots... including those of him NOT wanting to participate anymore. FUNNY!
Earthborn Pottery giveaway -- by Rachel
If you recall, I won an AMAZING Earthborn Pottery set on my friend Rachel's blog last year! In fact, that was the way she and I began our friendship! We met "IRL" for lunch when she presented me with my prize!
Well... Rachel is now doing another giveaway, and I thought I'd mention it here, in case any of you would like to have an opportunity to add a beautiful Earthborn Pottery bowl to your home! (Here is a photo I snagged from her blog post! Gorgeous, isn't it!)
Of course, I have ulterior motives: I'm hoping that by mentioning her giveaway here (and by following all the directions to enter the contest), that perhaps I will have a few extra chances to win another piece of this too-cool pottery!
But if I don't win, it's a-ok. I have my own pottery proudly displayed in my dining room -- a constant reminder that I actually won something!

Farewell to basketball for this year!
Jaiden played basketball again this year on a team of all little boys.... She had a good time, though! And I know she is going to be quite a star one day!
Here is the team photo for this year. Always funny, since boys aren't always the most eager to pose for photos!

I Just Can't Get Enough of That SMILE!
I can't help it. Call it an obsession. Call it a mom bias. Call it baby-itis. I just can't get enough of Iain's cute little smile.... and those dimples!
So, if you are bored with cute baby faces, feel free to read another, less-baby-centric post! ;) If you, like me, just can't help but smile when you see those little eyes light up, then, by all means, stay right here and scroll down!
Here is our 10-week old baby boy smiling at his daddy. (once again caught on my iPhone camera.... oh, well!) SO SWEET!
