Soccer Debut!

File this one under "posts that are 99.9% for the grandparents"...

Foxy started soccer this fall, and while the jury's out on whether this will be a sport that she sticks with long-term, she is definitely enjoying her little team and is having a very good time on the field. It helps that her team is made up of good buddies and her coach is terrific.

Technically, this was their second game, but it was the first time I brought along my camera. So, soccer debut!

Full disclosure: These photos might make her seem like a bit more of a playmaker than she actually is. I'd rank her fifth of five on the intensity/aggressiveness scale, but like I said, she's having fun, and she was getting in there and mixing it up a little more this week than last. We're proud of her, in any case. :)

These Two Are Two!

Long time, no see.

Right?

I have completely neglected the blog over the last month or so, for a variety of reasons. I won't bore you with the laundry list, since we all have enough of our own lists and excuses. What we don't have enough of is photos! And what's better than photos of these guys??

K & K have been a part of my life -- my photo life and then my real life -- since they were born two years ago. It was an honor to capture their changing faces every month of their first year, and their mom recently told me that while so much of that year is a blur, her memories of those photo session mornings are distinct and precious. Tomorrow is their second birthday, and to celebrate, we took the boys out to Mission Plaza and let them run around.

Get ready for a BIG preview. I just can't help myself. :)

At first, we got the smoldering, serious looks. Well, I guess toddlers don't smolder, but can't you just imagine these guys wowing the ladies in a couple of decades?

When mom busted out their skateboards, things got a lot more playful. I was FLOORED by how coordinated these dudes are -- and how BRAVE -- when they're on their wheels. The looked around for any sloping surface, and then they were off.

After skateboards, we cruised around and explored. Despite their insane physical skills, they still take stairs like any normal two-year-olds: on hands and pudgy knees.

After that, it was just pure silliness. It was so fun to watch these guys goof with each other. What a special bond twins have...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, boys! I'll be thinking of you tomorrow and can't wait until we play again...

(Oh, and here's a little link if you want to see their first birthday post.)
