The Making of a Christmas Photo

There are steps to the "perfect" Christmas photo, see below:


First, you need a tree. Decorated preferably.

Next, you need to line up the shot. Test shots are required at this stage to prevent anyone from losing their head.

Then, you begin the dress rehearsal. Coordinating outfits are needed and more test shots.

Lastly, a final check of facial cleanliness is crucial!

And, the end result may not be the perfect picture, but there are smiles and no one eyes are closed. That's a wrap!

Merry Christmas !!!!

Catching Up Part 2

Catching up

We've been crazy busy the last few months to say the least. We've had weddings, showers, bachelor/bachelorette parties, babies born (Hi Delilah!), our annual trip to the Elgin Pumpkin Patch for great photos, Halloween, Leo's 7th birthday and our first trip away from the kids to Jamaica! It's been a whirlwind, but fun and exciting. So here is the first installment of pictures to catch up. Enjoy!

Busy As Bees

It's been quite some time since my last blog post. We've been busy. Not just we have plans on the weekend busy, but every day has a schedule that must be kept kind of busy. We are making it through on caffeine and time-outs....for all of us:) So, here's some pics of the kids. They are crazy, wonderful and always ready to pose.

Two!!

See that pout? That takes practice people!

"No, I will not smile for a cute birthday picture. I'm not in the mood."

Lindsay turned two on September 7th and we celebrated a few days earlier with a small family party. She had a great time and receive way too many gifts, she's definitely ready for Christmas. At her two year check up, she weighed 29 lbs 6 oz and measured 34 1/4 inches, both in the 85%percentile. Yep, she's a big girl!

Lindsay has not taken the responsibility of being two lightly. In addition to growing like crazy, for several months now she has been gathering knowledge and practicing. Her hard work has paid off, Lindsay was able to show the world a proper two year old weeks before her birthday. She has mastered the whine, the loud "NO!!", the quiet dramatic "No", the face turn to claim ignorance of a situation, and the all important scream-stomp-shake-turn red tantrum! She is truly a master of the two:)
