back in the day

Aaron had long, sometimes black, hair. I had short, sometimes blonde, hair. We had no babies. We had more money than we do now. We went on dates. We saw movies at the expensive theatre. We had little responsibility and nothing to do. it was REALLY FUN!!!

This is Aaron and I almost 3 years ago. His hair looks so girly! I think he looks prettier than me in this picture.

The rest of the pictures are from about 2 years ago. This one is Aaron playing his bass in his old room. Or wait, is that one just a regular guitar? Whatever it is, he was getting pretty good. Behind him, on the wall, is a picture I made for him with some inks. I made him a lot of pictures back then.

All I know about this one is that it's us, and on the sofa in my parents' living room.

It's hard to tell, but my hair was REALLY short. I would like it that color again. I enjoy my dark dark hair. Maybe somebody will buy me two boxes of hair dye someday. hint hint.

Anyway, just wanted to show some pictures I guess. Life sure was fun before kids came along. I think it might be fun to be childless again for just ONE day. But I think I'd miss them too much to ever really be able to do it. Oh well, i guess liking my kids isn't the worst thing in the world.

Sweet New Baby...

Alek came home from the hospital last Monday. He has been home with us for one week now, and it is so much fun! At night he sleeps with me on our sofa, and Chancellor sleeps with aaron on the bed. Someday I'd love to get a bigger bed so we can all fit on there together. (of course, a little bed just for Chancellor would be just fine, if she can ever sleep through the night).





Chancellor loves her little brother! That's a picture of her going up to give him a big, wet kiss. She kisses with a big gaping mouth, and her tongue sticking way out. She likes to bring him his bottles, and make a little pretend eating noise. She'll get his diapers for me. She'll yank his hat off and touch his head. She likes to find his eyes and nose, and poke them. She always tries to pick him up, but we make her settle for a hug. It's so cute watching her lay her big(comparatively) head down on his little body for hugs!





I think Aaron's having fun with his little boy. They'll be cute together as Alek grows up. Aaron picked out his name, Aleksandr, because he likes Russia so much. And Edward is Aaron's middle name, and his father's, and HIS father's. If it weren't for Alek, the Umberson name would die with Aaron, because there aren't any other boys. He's a very important little guy.
