I'm behind on my posting so this week I hope to squeeze a few dated ones (like our first Thanksgiving and trip to the Christmas tree farm) in with the recent ones. I spent over 4 hours last night organizing my photos from the past month which is usually something I do every couple of days (so that it doesn't take a full night of work). Hopefully I can get all caught up this week so that I can get back on track.
What have we been up to that has gotten us off? Nothing major, just little things like cutting teeth (Lathan now has 2 bottom "buds"), eating more solids, and making sure each baby gets lots of love!
And so here is the first of my dated postings...

The Making of Our Christmas Card:
We chose the weekend before Thanksgiving for our "photo shoot". I tacked a black cloth behind our bed for the back drop and since the babies were unable to sit unassisted we called for reinforcements...Grammie, Aunt Pammie, & Gail. The three of them sat behind the cloth and held each baby from behind...

We handed the babies a strand of white Christmas lights, turned off the overhead light and began taking pictures, all of which turned out TERRIBLE! We had a hard time getting all three to look up enough and usually at least one was crying...
So we had to cheat a little! We took individual pictures of the babies and then imported them in to good ole' Photo Shop. The end result...
Merry Christmas!!!
I LOVE your Christmas cards! I got mine last night and was just amazed by how ADORABLE the cards and the kids are! I'll hire you to take pictures of Emmy/Coulter for all of our cards and milestone pics!!! Which may mean that I have to come to The Woodlands once a month to make sure we get every milestone possible :)
ReplyDeleteThis is adorable and is now my school computer wallpaper for the holidays. You are awesome. Thanks for sharing this wonderful journey.
ReplyDeleteI must say, girl you are CREATIVE!!!
ReplyDeleteThose are absolutely adorable!!!!
I can't believe how cute they turned out. Well wait a minute, I guess when you're working with such cute babies to start with it's not that hard!
That's absolutely the best holiday card I've ever seen. I was just glad that my kids were all looking at the camera and no one had their fingers up their nose or their hands down their pants.
i LOVE that!!! you're so creative! go stephanie!
