My babies

I practiced photography the other day on my favorite subjects. I wanted to get some good shots of the babies while they are still little. First, I set up the backdrop and checked the lighting with my older 2 boys. They had so much fun.

What a cutie! He looks just like his Daddy!
I had a little trouble with the focus on this picture, but I love it anyway. He is such a sweetheart and I could take pictures of him all day.
Their patience wore off!

Let me know what you think ... I am still learning so go easy on me!:)



We are doing good... soooo tired, but good. Today it actually took me ONE HOUR to get to a place that is usually about 2 minutes from my house. I got to the back, without my card, went back home to get it... went to the bank, then chick-fil-a, then back to the bank because I didn't get enough money out the first time. At this point my kids were getting so impatient (we were headed to this cool little splash park down the street so they were very excited). So, we get back to the bank and I dropped my driver's license and it was stuck in between the seat. I almost broke my hand trying to get it. I asked the boys to help... actually I asked for one, but 2 boys unbuckled and scrambled to the front of the van and dove onto the floor ( you would think they were given a pass out of prison or something) So they were on the floor cramming their little arms under my seat and practically fighting over who would get to the driver's license first. (It is still out there in my car under the seat right now) Thankfully, the lady at the bank remembered me ( how could she forget... I am the lady in the van with all the kids yelling, "3 suckers please, 3 suckers PUULLLLEEEZZEEEE!")

I think she gave me the 10 bucks out of her own purse just to get rid of me! HA

Okay, now I will quit rambling. Sorry for the long post. I could go on, but I will spare you!

The pics look great! I especially love the last one of the twins!! Too precious!

It is great to hear you are getting out and about again. It is so hard to do that in the first year. You are super mom - or really desperate to get out! Been there too~! :)

Blessings!
