Big Bro/Big Sis

We watched my friends other two children last night so they could get away for a little bit and I was able to take a few shots of the proud big brother and big sister...can't you see the resemblance in the baby?

first venture

Here are a few from this mornings baby practice session. She was born 2 weeks ago today! I used a couple of different actions of each one just testing it out.

Through Bella's eyes

OK, so it is easier for me to go through this journey with someone, so naturally, I choose my 4 year old (4 1/2 if you ask her)! When Mike bought me my new camera for our anniversary, I told Bella she could use my old point and shoot. She took it out last Friday and shot 214 pictures in about 20 minutes. It was so great to load them on my computer and see things from her point of view. I told her to shoot anything she wanted...there were a lot of shots of her toys and our house but there were also some really neat shots of us! Here is my favorite one: Mike had just pulled up the driveway from work and we met him outside. She took this as he was trying to figure out why we ambushed him in his car!

Birthday Boy

My Baby turns 8 today!!! We have really low key birthday plans, he wants to open his presents and play with them all day (his only request). Cake and a Sponge Bob movie tonight....ah, the life of an 8 year old.
