I am grateful you post pictures of such an adorable little scrunchy-nose punkinhead. And your dog that looks like a deboned chicken in the back.

Posted by: Missie | April 11, 2008 at 02:43 PM

I second being grateful for those naptimes!

Posted by: psumommy | April 11, 2008 at 02:44 PM

And for cheap-ass IKEA plates!

Posted by: KimAZ | April 11, 2008 at 02:47 PM

They are both adorable. Noah and Ceiba. :)

Posted by: alison | April 11, 2008 at 02:49 PM

Wow...that Ceiba sure is flexible.

Posted by: Jamie | April 11, 2008 at 02:49 PM

I am trying to get my dogs to come inside now, they are having none of it. They are enjoying the spring sun way too much! going on 2 hours of them laying out

Posted by: natasha | April 11, 2008 at 02:51 PM

I have just put my the baby down for her nap when I read this. So I am grateful, too. And Noah is the cutest little boy. (and I have two boys! Shh!)
The first picture had me look twice because I was like "Play-dough makes jelly? Why haven't I seen that?"

Posted by: FabGirl | April 11, 2008 at 03:00 PM

Ceiba's photo is killing me. :-)

And Noah is adorable peeking at the neighbor girls.

I'm grateful it is almost the weekend.

Posted by: Maria | April 11, 2008 at 03:10 PM

PBJ with a side of playdoh?
yum :)

Posted by: Mama T | April 11, 2008 at 03:24 PM

I'm glad someone else's dog lays like that. Mine always looks like he's broken something when he does it.

Posted by: Caleal | April 11, 2008 at 03:30 PM

Except why won't my kid nap?

Posted by: jodifur | April 11, 2008 at 03:37 PM

Cutest dog evah!

I love Noah peeking at the neighbor girls! Hee!

Posted by: jody | April 11, 2008 at 03:41 PM

...and Fridays. Definitely grateful for Fridays. Ahhh, the first taste of Spring! We watched #1 play baseball for a little while until we (#2, that is) realized that there were SLIDES! Slides to slide on! Ladders to climb that give mama heart arrhythmia. Nap time is the bestest. Highly recommend tap time every day.

Posted by: ladybug | April 11, 2008 at 03:43 PM

I'm grateful for the first 70 degree day since last October!

Posted by: Kristen | April 11, 2008 at 03:53 PM

I am also grateful for naps. And I don't even have kids! I'm also wishing we were having as nice weather today here in Boston as it looks like you have there. I want to lay on the grass!

Posted by: DiaryofWhy | April 11, 2008 at 03:54 PM

Grateful for your inimitable, graceful prose and for how you remind me how wonderful mothering a boy can be.
Also grateful that it's Friday, payday, and the start of Spring Break in Upstate New York.
Happy weekend, Storches and Amalah fans.

Posted by: Lori | April 11, 2008 at 04:02 PM

Wow, Ceiba. That does not look comfortable. Like, at all.

Noah is too precious.

Posted by: nonsoccermom | April 11, 2008 at 04:09 PM

heh, I was thinking the same thing - Yum PB&J with a side of play-doh! Isn't this weather to die for?!?!

Posted by: Christina | April 11, 2008 at 04:28 PM

When I saw that last picture, I couldn't believe how LONG Noah looked! He is one damn beautiful child. Also, I have to admit that I got just a little misty eyed at that same picture, remembering his (apparently!) former grass texture issues.

Posted by: Erin | April 11, 2008 at 04:34 PM

Ceiba's pictures is almost euphoric. She's like "yeah! warm deck feels goooooooood to the puppy!"

Noah is a doll and a half.

Posted by: Jen L. | April 11, 2008 at 04:34 PM

Those are great photos! Makes me so, so happy springtime is upon us!

Happy weekend to the Amalahs!

Posted by: Ramona | April 11, 2008 at 04:34 PM

What an adorable boy... Love those curls! Sweet pictures.

Posted by: tracey | April 11, 2008 at 04:39 PM

He looks so big in last photo!! So cute he is! Thanks for the photos!

Posted by: Alicia | April 11, 2008 at 05:20 PM

so is noah taller than you yet?

Posted by: dcfullest | April 11, 2008 at 05:47 PM

That picture of Ceiba is hilarious. The way that she has her back legs would be funny on its own, but her facial expression cinches it.

Plus, your PB&J-covered little guy is the cutest thing!

Posted by: Marieka | April 11, 2008 at 05:47 PM

How sweet! Ceiba looks thinner?

Posted by: MMM | April 11, 2008 at 06:25 PM

Ah, yes, there's nothing like PB&J on IKEA plates!

Posted by: Gretchen | April 11, 2008 at 07:06 PM

Love the crocs. :-b....

I guess pokey grass isn't an issue. ;-) Yay. He's so cute laying there.

Posted by: Ree | April 11, 2008 at 07:51 PM

Your day sounds very much like ours. We had our first beautiful day of the season and spent several hours at the park playing soccer, rollerblading, tossing a football and swinging. And the dog enjoyed a nice afternoon on the deck.

Posted by: Starbuck | April 11, 2008 at 08:17 PM

Amen, sistah. We're in NC...kinda the same weather pattern as ya'll.

And since we are kinda in the same weather pattern...snow for you on Sunday? Yes for us.

GAWD. enough.

Posted by: HMFT | April 11, 2008 at 09:06 PM

I'm totally ratting you out to the Fug Girls for putting your innocent child in Crocs. Won't someone think of the children???

I kid, I kid. Adorable as always. Have a great weekend, Storches!!!!

Posted by: missbanshee | April 11, 2008 at 09:29 PM

look how tall Noah got over the winter!!!

and we've got those IKEA plates (and cups. and bowls), too. :)

Posted by: Colleen | April 11, 2008 at 10:24 PM

I'm grateful you post such adorable pictures for me to look at!

Posted by: Shannymar | April 11, 2008 at 11:11 PM

Peeping Noah! Haa!

Posted by: Suzy Q | April 11, 2008 at 11:49 PM

We had our first PB&J picnic this week, too! BEST DAY EVER.

Posted by: jessica | April 12, 2008 at 09:23 AM

Picture 3: Dog or Rat?

Posted by: AA | April 12, 2008 at 10:14 AM

He looks just like you...what a cutie.

Posted by: MollieBee | April 12, 2008 at 11:47 AM

Ceiba looks kinda thin in this, has she been for some lipo? Don't lose your curves girl!!!


Hehe, Noah is totally cute, and checking out girls already :-O

Posted by: Sarawarawoo | April 12, 2008 at 12:46 PM

Awwwwww! What a gorgeous day it was for SURE! I was thrilled to get out and really clean out the car.
I bought some flowers to plant, too.

Noah looks so much like you, girl! Poetic justice, I say. For what we go through to bring the darlings into the world just so we can hug and kiss them!
OOOOOSH!!! SO cute!!!!

Thank you for sharing your day with us!

Posted by: Martha | April 12, 2008 at 02:40 PM

Springtime + toddler + puppy. Excellent combination, Amalah.

Posted by: Sara | April 12, 2008 at 03:17 PM

Ahhhh, I am dying from the cuteness that is your Noah. Thank you for posting photos of such a cute boy! My boy is now 11 and cute is a word he can not stand. He's cool, man, not cute.

Posted by: CP | April 12, 2008 at 11:33 PM

Awwww! Great pics! GREAT! (that pic of your dog is hilarious!)

Posted by: Haley-O | April 13, 2008 at 02:08 PM

Amen! Great pics...the dog is *almost* as cute as the kid!

Posted by: Mommy Cracked | April 13, 2008 at 08:42 PM

I gotta say, Ceiba is giving Noah a run for his money when it comes to hamming it up for the camera. What a pair!

And before too long you'll be able to add adorable googly-eyed newborn pics to the mix! Yay!

Posted by: Amie | April 14, 2008 at 12:40 AM

Yes, you've got a cute kid, but I have to admit I come here for pictures of the dog. I love that dog.

Posted by: Robyn | April 14, 2008 at 09:43 AM

i cant believe noah is in shorts and a tshirt. in chicago my kids had to wear hats and gloves saturday to be outside.

Posted by: obabe | April 14, 2008 at 02:08 PM

This post made my day :) Both Noah and Ceiba are delicious. Nom nom nom toddler and puppy.

Posted by: Sarah | April 14, 2008 at 03:23 PM

Beautiful pics! Want a pb & j now. And a baby.
