Remember when...?

Remember when no one had to beg and scream and plead and cry for me to update the blog?



Remember when you could just be like, "heeeeeee-eeeeey, there's a new post of those adorable Scully boys!"



Remember when Patrick was still ZERO? (Yeah, he's TOTALLY one now. May 16. Mama was at an editors' conference -- or "on a work trip," as Elliott says -- and missed the whole thing. Luckily, Big Brother Elliott, Dada, Grammy, Grandpa, Aunt Chris, Uncle Mike and Steph were on hand to fill in.)



Remember when all you needed was multi-colored icing on a white chair to make you a happy little demon?

Remember when the icing tasted better the bigger mess you made? (Or does it still?)

Remember when you could celebrate ANYONE's birthday with this much unbridled enthusiasm?

Remember when reflecting on The Whole Year That Was went like this: "ate, slept, pooped"? (Or does it still?)

Remember when Elliott smiled for this cute photo I wanted to put on the blog?

Remember when you were young enough to have the camera get closer and closer and you only looked CUTER?

Remember when the simple joy of a tomato was all you needed at the end of a long day?

Remember when you were this happy to show you had more teeth than fingers?
