It's been awhile...

since I've taken pictures of the kids together... and this is why...

... they just never seem to work out as well as I'd hoped...

but...

sometimes they turn out adorable...

... because laughing children are always adorable.

Now, I did happen to take some really cute pictures of Icyle by herself...

... it is easy to get one kid to smile and look at the camera.

And, mom, these are for you...
