I was telling them about a funny YouTube video I had seen that day. Lucky for us we live in a day and age where you can pull anything up on your iPhone immediately. Which is what I did, and then they laughed just as hard as I had.
laura h - love the warmth of this image in every way that meaning can apply. fantastic.
Em - My 2 year old is obsessed with this video, along with the mariachi band playing for the beluga whale and Maru the Japanese cat, she asks for them ALL day long
Carolyn Egerszegi - Wow! That video is as fascinating to me as it is funny!! I studied some linguistics in university and I'm amazed. Isn't it incredible the way they truly seem to be communicating with each other, even though no "words" are being spoken? I find their inflections especially fascinating - you can tell when they are making a statement vs when they are asking a question. And the laugh response is so genuine too! Funny and interesting. Linguists should be studying this video!! Thanks for sharing Tara.
Kathleen - I haven't watched the video yet but I LOVE the photo. Hope you're enjoying your vacay :)
Jennifer - My daughter and I saw that video a few months ago. We imitate it all the time. :)
anne z - Love! These little guys must be Italian (or some other nationality like me that MUST use their hands to speak!). :) As a mommy of twins, love watching that special bond that has formed.
Sometimes going out to dinner isn’t enough. Sometimes you need to make it fancy fun by dressing up in your ‘finest’ clothes. Which is what we did on a night Jeff was working late. A fun way to make a normal night a little bit special. I told the kids we were going out and they needed to dress nicely. This was what they picked.
Sara - They're all so classy! And the your boys are definitely growingin to chick magnets, yes? :)
Trude - Love how much this photo says about you guys! Makes me smile. My brothers do the same thing when we say "fancy" - must be a SoCal boys thing. :) P.S. I'll take your outfit, please.
jeramy - classic. fancy.
we (sharon and i) were talking about you at dinner last night. just so you know...you inspire us. :-) thanks.
Bentley Waters - that is an awesome photo. kids look adorable and you look fab!!
Sam - Such a beautiful, beautiful family! Thanks for sharing.
Jennifer - McKenna's outfit is the best. Love it so much. :)
shauna - Oh! I LOVE this! I love what they picked out to wear!!! It's so REAL!!!
Sara - its the little things. you are real. i appreciate that about you.
em - oh my goodness. who are all those TEENAGERS?!
you look hot mama ;)
Tammy - You all look great! This makes me smile.
Ashley Dawn - That is awesome. :) Mind if I steal that when I have kids? I would love to be able to randomly tell the kids to dress up and we are going to go out to dinner :) So awesome! :D
Laura - Oooh....I LOVE your dress! Where'd you find it? Your kids are precious!
Laney Butler - What a fun Momma! You guys look sharp!
Photographer Essex - FABULOUS! post.beautiful family! Thanks for sharing.
This week we are on vacation so I set up a few posts to go up while I am gone. I’ll be sharing a photo a day from my personal stash.
Here we have Anna, with TV face, snuggled up in my bed. She loves choosing a movie from the many Jeff has recorded for us in the summer afternoons – especially romantic comedies. She calls them “rom coms”. And now we do, too.
laura h - love. especially love how much she looks like you and jeff smashed together! sweetness. and i'll smile inside when i call them "rom com"s, remembering this post.
tara pollard pakosta - oh yay, your kids, I LOVE photos of your 4 cuties~!
especially Anna, the fact I "knew" you when you were first pregnant with her, I feel like I know her, she's sooooo big now~
tara
tanyawebster - She looks SOOOO much like her mama :) Very fitting letters over your bed....it actually looks super "cozy" ;)
jeramy - you coined a new term...."tv face". now i know what to say to MY kids. :-)
tracey - Love the "tv face" term. My daughter wears this one well too.
