Photoshoot at the Park

We decided to make a Thanksgiving morning trip over to the park to attempt to take some family photos for a Christmas card. Like any outing with two or more children, it was an experience. Since I was taking the pictures, that meant Lolly was holding David and Sadie was free to roam around. Our camera's timer gave me ten seconds to grab Sadie from where ever she was playing, run to where Lolly and David were sitting, sit down, put on a genuine-as-possible smile, and convince Sadie to look and smile at the camera. Believe it or not, but we got a couple decent shots. I would post them, but then what would be the point of sending out Christmas cards? While we were out, we decided to try and take a few shots of the kids. Below are some shots we got of Sadie. I would post the shots of David, but all of the shots were either out of focus from him moving around or added ten pounds to his little frame.

One of These Things is Not Like the Others. . .

Picture Catch-Up

Since David is now 4 months old, we decided to try him on rice cereal. He wasn't to thrilled with it, so we will be putting off solids for a little longer.

Some Sadie randomness

And some recent pictures of our pup, Rory.

P.S. Ruthanne- I have only heard her bark once.

A very merry unbirthday. . .

Chris' birthday came so inconveniently last weekend (couldn't he have scheduled his birthday better?) and he literally had NO time to celebrate it. He's such a trooper that he didn't even complain, even though this birthday was a big one (he is no longer in his 20's.)

Last night we celebrated late by going out to dinner and to a concert with the Calvis. We went to go see William Joseph, and man were we impressed! He's a piano player and composer. If that sounds boring then it is because you have never heard him play. I'd compare him to John Schmidt, but more modern. He toured with Josh Groban and Clay Aiken and was on the most recent EFY cd. We actually met Bill (William) a couple months ago (and had no idea who he was) when we sat next to him at a birthday dinner for Jason. We'd heard Jason talk about his friend William Joseph the piano player before and for some reason I'd always pictured him as being in his 50's.
Here is a link of him playing Asturias on the Dr. Phil show.

On a different birthday note, we finally broke down a got a puppy. I can't believe I have a baby and a puppy, but somehow we are surviving. We named her Rory and are very happy with her.
We don't have many pictures of her yet (I'm waiting on my new lens that should be coming any day.)
