ham

I got a new camera over the weekend (insert giddy excitment here) and have been having fun taking pictures, mostly of my boys. In return, they have enjoyed cheesing for the camera and being little hams.

 Collin even set this photo shoot up for him and his brothers. I had the back drop set up to take some photos for my shop and he decided that him and his brothers needed to pose with all of their blankets and best friends.

 Cheese!

 Gotta love the lunch on his face!

 How in the world has my baby gotten so big?

Aren't they just adorable? I hope to have some time to really play with my photo editing and hopefully take some good photos. I have a friend coming over with her little girls to model for my shop this week. It will be a good learning experience. Any tips from the photographers out there?



squeels of delight

Ronan has found a new voice, and he uses it A LOT. I absolutely love it and can't help but laugh at his high pitched squeels of joy! Sorry the picture is so dark. The lighting in our basement isn't great.

I couldn't pass up this photo opportunity.

Do you think maybe my boys have seen daddy play video games?
Collin doesn't enjoy being like daddy at all... can you tell?

I've been playing with my camera setting trying to get the pictures to come out the way I want them to. If only I could find the manual. So I took about 50 pictures today as I played. Here are two of my favorites.

It's rare to get a picture of Collin's face because he is either running at, or away from the camera.

I personally like the drool on his lip. It's rare to see him without drool on his lip, chin, chest, arms and all over whoever is holding him.

Along with playing video games with daddy, Collin has been working on a future as an artist. Unfortunately, his canvas today happened to be the ottoman. I don't think that he was so much trying to draw on it as he was enjoying the fun noise that it made.

One final thought:

Please pray for baby Stellan. He has begun having bouts of SVT again and it is becoming increasingly more difficult to bring him out. Stellan had to be taken to the emergency room today as the vagal manovers aren't working as well as hoped. To read Stellan's full story you can click on his link in my side bar.
