There’s a lot going on, so I should really do a stream of consciousness post. But I haven’t really had time for one because, well, there’s a lot going on. While I juggle tacos for dinner, pumping for my delightfully hungry baby, thinking about the super surprise I have and will share with you when the time is right, having school with our oldest children, unpacking and doing laundry after our weekend away and starting work on two new writing gigs I have in the works, I have a little something in store for you guys.
I can’t imagine neglecting you.
I also can’t imagine what on earth Stellan was doing in this photograph I took at the island over the weekend.
Well, actually I can imagine it. I do have a husband and four sons, remember. What I in all honesty don’t know is what Small Fry was up to. I also don’t know how on earth Stellan has gotten so a) big and b) photogenic.
But that’s another post for another time. As I’ve mentioned, we were away on a lake for Labor Day Weekend. Here is one of the views from the little cabin was stayed in.
And here is one of the views of Small Fry shining my husband’s flashlight on Stellan. I’m not really sure why she was doing that.
But isn’t she precious? Yes, I think so, too!
Anyway, this last photo really cracked me up. It still does. And I have this sneaking suspicion that it will crack me up even more after you guys Name That Photo!!!! You know the drill. Give the photo below a clever name, witty caption or funny title and win!!
Yes, I really do have a prize at stake for one of you this time. The person who enters the best name for this photograph will win three liquid soap foamers from Goat Milk Stuff!!! Brand new, made of goat milk like their original bars and in the convenience of a pump, these soaps will soon be in someone’s hands. Well, on their hands, rather.
All you need to do is Name This Photo!!
One entry per person, please. Comments will close at noon Central time on Wednesday. Good “luck”!!

Put ‘em up slowly and nobody gets hurt…
“OK Stellan, now open your mouth WIDE and the light will come out!”
Hold still Stellan, I’m just x-raying your neck, to check if the fish kiss didn’t do any harm.
It’s time for your x-ray Stellan. Yes, I see your heart is working just fine.
Shine your little light on me…
Stellen, Is that your aorta?
I just don’t know what to say Stellan… You are healthy!!!! There are no ticks and no SVT back here. Although I wonder where the eyes on the back of your head are???? MckMama has them, why don’t you?
from my 8 year old son: “Shine that flashlight on my neck to see if there’s any ants on it.”
from my 9 year old son: “Hey sis, shine that tan ray gun over here… I missed my neck today.”
I wonder.. If I Shine My Light Here Little Brother, Can I See Your Soul?
After Stellan couldn’t find “it” earlier, Small Fry got the flash light and started at the top.
“This little light of mine, I’m goin to let it shine.:
I said MARCH!
Wait Stellan! I want to check and see if I can SEE mommy’s love for you!
We’re country folk… this is how we get a farmer’s tan on a cloudy day…
smally fry phone home.

southern love and prayers from alabama!
Hold still while I shine the light to make all the hairs on your neck go away.
You’re my brother in the Kingdom of Light!
Say AAAHHHHHHHH!
Missed being in the spot-light?! I’ll take care of that for you little brother!!
Small Fry: “How’s this for backlight, Mama?”
Small Fry’s thought bubble…”I wonder how long I have to shine this light on him before he starts to glow in the dark…”
~”Um, uh, I’m sorry but if you could just bring it a little closer, I kind of need the light… that’s great! Keep it right there.” (Finding Nemo) There’s nothing quite like living in the Light!!~
Cute pictures!
Kissing a fish makes the hair on the back of you neck stand up?
Kissing a fish makes the hair on the back of *your* neck stand up?
“Mama says you have a ‘photo-Jen-neck.’ I don’t see mama’s picture on your neck anywhere… even with this big flashlight. I don’t get it.” -Small Fry
After my flashlight test, I can still say you are SVT-free!
Small Fry heard that campfire stories can raise the hairs on the back of your neck.

I see a bright light in your future MckMuffin!
In the name of the Cabin, the sun and the holy flash light!
Beam me up Small Fry
“Now stand still Mck Muffin, if you don’t stay under this heat lamp you’ll go bad”
I know I am gonna find that off button….works on lots of other things.
“Wait right here, I’ll be back in a flash(light)”
Super cute picture!
I don’t normally play but here it goes….all I could think was traffic stop!
“Sir, can I see your drivers license?”
Freeze!! Stop!! Tick Police!!
First off I have to say that I love the “classic” boy photo of Stellan. My name that photo entry is….you’re in the spotlight.
They say bedbugs are everywhere now. Let’s check and see if any are on you.
“My handy, dandy Potty Dance Detector has detected that you need to go potty!”
I think Small Fry is telling Stellan the following, “Stellan I see your skeleton”! I think it may sound a little funnier in my head! Oh well, cute photo. Your kids are just…beautiful.
See ma? Boys really DO have cooties!

Did you wash behind your ears?
There aint no ticks on me…….no there aint no ticks on me……..there may be ticks on some of you chicks…….but there aint no ticks on me……….
There aint no bugs on me…….no there aint no bugs on me…… there may be bugs on some of your mugs……..but there aint no bugs on me!!
Is your neck warm enough yet, Stellan? My arms are getting tired!
“Just checkin’ for ticks mom!”
Thanks, Small Fry. You really do light up my life!
Hi Jennifer … I won’t even attempt naming the pic ‘cos I’m usless at things like that. Lovely photos as always.
I’ve got a question for you about BF. I noticed in this post and in loads of others that you keep mentioing you have to pump all the time and I wondered why. I’m only asking because when I had my son I felt that I didn’t have anyone to ask if I was ‘doing things right’. It so happened that the nurses in my hospital ward didn’t have kids so I was never convinced they were the best people to advise me on how to BF.
I was very lucky, my son was a brilliant feeder and SO hungry. But I never had to pump even once and I nursed him until he was nearly 2. The weird thing is that I have to be the most flat-chested woman on the planet (no DD’s for me) but he wouldn’t look at a bottle from the minute he was born, never even used a comfortor … apart from me !!
Anyhoo … all I could go on was that my baby was happy, healthy and put weight on every single week without fail and that was all down to little old me. I think I did it right
)
My best friend is expecting a baby next month and has been asking me about BF as she really wants to do it so I’d love to be able to give her the best advice I can but my experience seems to be the opposite of yours.
Basically what I’m asking is, are you supposed to pump as well as feed … does pumping all the time actually make it easier … did I do it the hard way? I thought that milk production kinda sorted itself out so that you produced what your baby needed.
Thanks.
Stellan, you have not been letting your light shine lately…Here let me help you!
You are still healed… No STV here!
McChigger Check! Now just hold still!
Stop! Or I will shine!
You Light Up My Life!
Yes, M’am – presenting myself for inspection. did I pass?
I don’t see a bar code??
This little Stellan of mine, I’m gonna let him shine!
Beam me up scotty!
Freeze! Hold it right there little brother. That’s right, I’m shining the light on YOU! Because you mean so much to me!
Love Small Fry
Keine Zeichen des SVT hier! Right, Mommy?
