Been Busy

I haven't been able to do much photography, let alone type a blog or post anything on Facebook. Why? Let me show you:



My sweet little girl finally made her arrival, 11 days past her due date. Also, I just had to show you, we got to see the space shuttle from our neighborhood. Very cool. My daughters were thrilled that they got to see a "spaceship."
 


I'll post again when I get to type with both hands. Who know when that will happen.

Bluebell Hunting

The girls and I went bluebell hunting with a neighbor last week. The girls had a great time picking bluebells. Too bad the flowers got crushed in the wagon on the way home. We'll have to take a container with water next time, that way the flowers might actually last at least until we get home.

I really like Peanut's pose in this picture, but the lighting was a bit harsh. I had to really play with this image and give it a vintage feel in order to make her stand out from the background.

Look, I'm posting a new picture!

Ah, I've been so exhausted lately, and the warm weather has finally hit. What does that mean? Flowers are blooming, birds are singing, my children are wearing fun dresses, and my feet have swollen. Eww. I will be 37 weeks pregnant on Friday!! So exciting!

Here is Popper enjoying the amazing spring weather. The basket is so she can collect "treasures." These treasures usually consist of flowers, rocks, and sticks. Just the other day I found three rocks in the washing machine and another four in the dryer. See, it isn't just boys. :)

Posing for Pictures

Clearly, Popper does NOT like being asked to pose for a picture.

And baby makes three: part 2

Just a few more of my brother and his wife.

I really like this one in black and white, but the color one looks nice too. Guess it depends on my what my brother and his wife like.





I know this one is probably an "outtake" picture, but I love the large smiles and real laugh that they were sharing.

And baby makes three

Want to know what's amazing? My brother, his wife, and the little girl, my Goddaughter, that they are going to have in March. I also think it's pretty swell that their baby is due a month before mine, and I'm the Godmother to their daughter and they will be the Godparents to my little girl. I love my family!

They were kind enough to ask me to take some maternity type pictures of them, so here are a few.

Magical Christmas lights

My sister took Popper and one of her cousins for an all girl sleepover. Peanut was invited, but as she hates sleeping anywhere other than her own bed, I thought it best if she stayed home for now. Since the husband and I had only one child to contend with, we took advantage of that and went out to dinner. If you haven't been to the Electric Palm in Woodbridge, I highly recommend it. After all, my brother is the most excellent sous chef there. :D

When we got home, I decided to let Peanut run around our little section of the neighborhood and look at the Christmas lights. Her favorite was this little deer that moved. She even gave it a hug.



I hope everyone had a very joyous Christmas, and that the peace and blessings of the Christ child warm your hearts.
