I've only been putting having professional pictures off for oh...a month now!? First it was to cold, then the miscarriage, Christmas, New Years, and well today finally was the day. C'man needed his 4 year pictures taken and I wanted a nice picture of the two of them in there Christmas outfits.
Why oh why can pictures just not go WONDERFUL! When C'man doesn't want to cooperate, Miss A does. Then vice versa. "What C'man? You don't want your Santa cookie? How about a .25 for the train outside??" All while I'm wondering WHY I did not spike my coffee with Kahlua.
Then Miss A does great, then all the sudden she walks off and that's the end of her. Period. When that girl is done, eating, playing, throwing a fit, etc she's DONE!! Speaking of fits, have I told you all that she can scream/throw things/etc for 30 min and then all the sudden look at me and say 'I'm done' and she is!! Just like that she shuts it OFF! Drives me nuts.
Anyway we got some good shots and spent $90. I HATE spending that much. I have so many pictures left over b/c I don't plan who's going to get what. I did better I think this time on that end. But yeah my mom wants one for her desk, dad wants one for his office and then they want one for the home. Now my MIL if I don't frame it, she doesn't get it up and it gets dusty and crusty. She too likes one to show off at the Post Office. So yeah, lots of pictures for everyone. I try to buy the same size every time so they can just replace the old with the new.
At any rate, pictures are done. I got 2 new pairs of shoes that I'm quite proud of. I'll post pictures of them. They are fun shoes, not to practical, but fun. All I get are slip in/practical shoes. I'm still saving my money tho for a pair of UGGS. Anyone that reads this from Australia by chance? I'll have to check my stat counter, but I'm thinking there is. Email me k!!
We're home, Miss A is sleeping, C'man is on the couch and tonight I'm going to a Christmas Party! I'm rather excited I'll have you know. I haven't been to an official Christmas party for years! It's with the steering team of the MOPS group I'm part of. Table leaders are invited, that's me:)
I know I have to wear my new shoes, oh but wait, all the outfits i was going to wear are black and both pairs of shoes are BROWN....oh what now.

Hi there,
Good to "see" you again. I am sorry to hear about your recent miscarriage. I had an ectopic in 2000, 29th of Feb to be precise. I would have been due on 24th October 2000.
It hurt a lot at the time and as you can see I don't think I will ever forget the details of it but I have to say I don't get upset any more. It's something that happened. I have told my kids about it and they all know I had a baby that didn't grow in the right place and so died. In that way it is part of our family story, but truly it no longer hurts. I hope you are feeling better.
"See" you again soon. Take care.
pictures are never fun...stress! I like your coffee and Kahlua idea!
I'm sure the picts turned out cute!
You just summed up why we have never done professional pictures. But, I think I am going to be brave and try this spring. There is a photographer in my neighborhood who does some amazing things!
