say cheez please: September 2008

Parents, if you want wonderful pictures of your children, never teach them to say "cheese"! Please learn from my mistake or you will have thousands of photos just like mine - squinted eyes, scrunched up noses, clenched teeth, and an image that just screams "say cheez!!!". Join me while I search for that one perfect shot that doesn't conjure up images of dairy products. Oh, and unless you like that *messy* look, you'll probably want to clean their faces before you snap away. I never seem to remember myself.

An imporant sidenote is to make sure you document your life! Recording the little details of the who, what, where, when, & why makes for wonderful stories and captures your life for years to come. Because if you are like me, you'll forget it all 5 minutes later!

POTD - Time Warp {no clue what week it is}

It's been a while since I posted for POTD. Life has kept me occupied with other things and I haven't had the brain power to focus on much other than just trying to get through each day. In the past couple of months since I last posted, school has started, extracurricular activities have picked up, there have been a couple of birthdays, a wedding anniversary, and I had a baby. So much going on, with not a lot of sleep or dare I admit housecleaning or showering (gross, I know!!!), that things have felt like I'm living in a complete time warp. Ugg! I'm slowly getting my motivation back to pick up the camera and resume a semi normal life so here are a few snaps of 2 of my kiddies today.
