And here is one of Jake (pre-haircut) and Alex in Jake's old toddler bed, soon to be Alex's new crib once I get a free minute (HA!) to convert it back into a crib.

Aunt Nancy's Wedding
WARNING: This is a ridiculously loooooong post, full of pictures. You've been warned! ;)
A few weeks ago, the whole family travelled to PA for my Aunt Nancy's wedding to Brian. I was the photographer and also a guest, which is a tough balancing act, but I managed to work hard and have fun as well. It was cute seeing Alex all dressed up, and Jake was the life of the party on the dance floor. There are a million pictures from the wedding, some of which were edited, some of which weren't. In the interest of getting these pictures posted some time this century, I'm setting aside my normally perfectionist tendencies and just posting edited and unedited images here. Enjoy!
Married!
Alex all dressed up :)

Uncle Danny made Alex cry :(
...and made Jake fake cry. Lol.
Alex, not crying this time
....because she figured out Uncle Danny is a funny guy
Daddy with his kids
Mommy (sweaty after running around shooting the wedding), Daddy, and Alex
Dancing fool
Alex with grandma, who took great care of her while mommy was working
Cousin Jess and Bill

Jake can't seem to limit his affection to only one two women.
The handsome hubbies (Bill, Rollin and Ralph)
Caley holding Alex
Love these next three
I think Brad is smitten :)
The WHOLE Valentine side of the family
LOVE. This. One.
I edited out a million shots of Jake. I didn't want the wedding pictures to look like I showed up and only photographed my kids. That's what this post is for, ha ha.
Peepa with his favorite (and only) granddaughter
And Geedah with her favorite (and only) granddaughter
Peepa manages to get Alex to join the dancing
Jake, Mommy & Daddy - every time we tried to get a family photo with all four of us, one of our children were otherwise occupied - lol.
I did manage to dance a few songs with my husband before the night was over! :) Too bad I was rocking the "work hair" - lol.
Congratulations Aunt Nancy and Brian! :)

Assorted Newish Pictures
Thank goodness for my camera phone, otherwise nothing would get recorded around here. :) Here are some recent ones I've sent from my phone but never got around to blogging...
Ralph and Jake went to the Yankees game a few weeks ago. And just last night, we saw Jake's favorite Yankees pitcher, Andy Pettitte at Longford's ice cream in Rye!
Alex at 8 and a half weeks, about to outgrow one of my favorite newborn outfits.
Same day, Jake and Alex in my bed. (Super soft pink blanket from Stos above Alex's head ;)
A few days ago, Jake wanted Alex with him in his toddler bed (soon to be converted back into the crib for Alex). He's closing his eyes because I opened the black-out curtains to get more light in the room for the picture. This was the best shot (out of 5 or so) that I could get.
Last night was the first night he slept in a real big boy bed - woo-hoo! So proud of my big boy, who seems to get bigger by the minute. Funny enough, he's sleeping in a bed that belonged to my grandparents, in the bedroom that belonged to Ralph's grandparents. Old stuff rocks :)

Alex talking and singing
NOTE: I re-uploaded these videos on Monday at 5:30pm since they didn't seem to be working
Just this week, Alex started conversing with me. It's the cutest thing, I love hearing her little coos and gurgles :)

My little 11 week old baby bear
I had a few minutes in between editing Aunt Nancy's wedding (almost done! pics coming soon!) and Alex's diaper changes to take a few quick pictures. She hates wearing hats, so this was a 6 minute photoshoot, literally. But I was happy with the results :) I love this little girl! Also got a great video of her "talking" today, which will be up here soon.
Home Improvements
Today our new countertop was delivered, replacing the metal-edged 1950's gold-fleck formica countertop. We also had a new undermount sink installed. Alex seems to like hanging out in the new kitchen.
