Picture Fiasco

So I decided this year we would get a good picture of the kids and send it out as our Christmas Card. So last week we dressed them in coordinating outfits, curled And's hair and attempted a little photo shoot. It was dumb! Andi would not quit squirming and Sammy did the usual peaceful sweet face until we'd snap a picture. Here's a sampling and the fiasco.



This is the only one I think turned out semi-decently. . . but it's not edited yet.


After this disaster I decided there would be no Christmas card this year. I didn't want one of all 4 of us because that would mean finding coordinating outfits in our closets for all of us, and lets face it, I still have quite a bit of baby-weight to get rid of, so I really didn't want to do a picture. But Thad talked me into trying a whole family one because then we'd be able to hold the kids and make them look nice. So here are the results of that attempt.

Only one of these has been edited yet, can you tell which one ?


Sunday was Sammy's Blessing day and we were lucky enough to have both our parents, two sets of grandparents and a couple of siblings there to share in the day. Of course I did not remember to bring my camera, but don't worry Mom B is always prepared and took pictures, I just don't have copies yet. Here is the one we managed to take before we went to church of Sammy on his big day.Same outfit as the Christmas pictures I know, but it's stinkin cute!

Other than that I can't believe that Sammy will be 6 weeks old tomorrow. It really seems like we just brought him home. Thankfully though he decided that 5 weeks old was a great time to start sleeping through the night. I didn't want to mention it before and jinx it, but he's done it for a week straight now. We put him down between 9 and 9:30 and he wakes up at 6. Babywise is magic! Plus he's just a very good peaceful baby and he'd probably sleep all day too if I let him.
The shopping part of Christmas is totally done. Now we are just finishing up a couple of projects and we will be completely done with 2 weeks to spare! The cards are one of those projects but if you don't get one do not assume we snubbed you, I probably just didn't get them out ;)
