Another Sadie Shoot!

OK, so I decided to do another photo shoot with Sadie all by myself and we had a blast! This one was more fun than the last one since her official 2 year pictures were already in the can and complete! This time we just had some fun and talked and made faces at the dogs! I still wish that I could capture just one "normal" smile from the girl instead of the pirate grin that I get when I tell her to smile! I guess "doing your own thing" is part of being two and discovering who you are and what kind of boundaries you can push with your Mom/photographer! My emphasis this time was also to get just the face and not the whole body so it allowed for some intimate Mommy/Daughter moments for us to share.


I promise that one of these days I will do a really cool shoot with Zach. His senior pictures are coming up you know! I hope I don't have to wait a year and a half to pin him down, but with his schedule who knows!


TGIF the 13th (lol) and remember I am still working on some surprises for you all that you will not want to miss! Cross my heart on this one! Head on over to Life is Sweet to see who else has been doing some cool shooting this week!

Toddlers Gone Wild Tuesday

Sadie has learned some new tricks, namely taking her pants off and then coming to me saying they are broken! I know this is normal and goes with the territory but I am terrified that one day we will be in Walmart and she will take her clothes off and she will end up on some "Toddlers Gone Wild" video! I guess I just need to be ready for the naked toddler phase that is upon us and pray she gets it out of her system before she turns 18!

Mind Blowing History!

I am still trying to wrap my brain around the history that was made yesterday! Oh sure I knew Obama won the election and all but it had been pushed to the recesses of my brain until yesterday when it became official!

I have told you before that I do not let my life revolve around politics but I have to ask: Could we not have put the money spent on the inauguration to better use? Must it be so extravagant? Must there be 10 inaugural balls?

I don't mean to sound like a downer but we are in a recession, or so they tell us every day on the news! Oh well, enough about politics, let's just see what Obama can do!

Let me give you something else to think about! During my time spent travelling the blogosphere I have come across lots of people who are in need of prayer and so let me ask you to pray for Harper who is only 4 days old. I have a soft spot in my heart for the little babies who are sick. You can check out her story at Kelly's Korner . Her parents are faithful and know that they are in this for a reason. Kelly even asked that we pray for the 40 other babies in the NICU and their families. There I have issued the challenge now all you have to do is pray!

The shots for today are some recent silly shots of Sadie! The top one is her laughing really hard at something the dog did and the bottom one is her in her "thinking chair" (Blue's Clues).
