My Nose Hurts

The air is so dry here in Atwater. Today, my nose is so dry that no amount of moisturizer is easing the pain. My skin screams at me daily to take it somewhere moist.

So, does anyone have any recommendations for a really GOOD moisturizer? What about a cleanser that doesn't dry out my already dehydrated face?

Family Portrait At Last ~ Even if its only one!

Sarah's bangs aren't all the way back & Lissy isn't looiking at the camera, but 4 out of 5 are looking at the camera...and that ain't bad! Aaron only smiled because I told him this one counted as our one family picture this year. Maybe next year I will hire a professional instead of handing uncle Mikey my camera.

No Family Pictures for Us This Week!

I was pretty ticked off a few weeks ago when Aaron brought Andrew home from the barber with a MOHAWK! I wasn't happy with his style choice, but especially because we had family pictures planned for the following week. (To be fair to Aaron, he didn't know that little piece of information.) So I postponed portraits a few weeks. He's starting to look like a normal kid again and...

...look what Sarah decided to do! ALL of her bangs are GONE! Completely GONE! I guess pictures will just have to wait....again.
I wonder what Lissy will do in a few weeks?

Happy st. Patricks Day

Do you know what happens at my house when I just want to take one nice snap shot of my 3 beautiful children?
They pose.

And make goofy, silly, cheesy grins.

Until I get frustrated and tell them to just look at me and smile.

And it still doesn't work.

Do you know how frustrating that is to a children's portrait photographer?

Very!

Its been 4 weeks?!?!!

I can't believe I haven't posted anything for 4 weeks! I'm such a slacker!..

Speaking of slackers, have you ever been to www.slacker.com its a free online radio station. Its great, you can choose a playlist based on what you want to listen to, from country to Christmas. My favorite features are being able to skip songs that I don't like that much and I can block songs I don't ever want to hear again!

Snow Fun!

We were visiting some good friends earlier this week & my girls found a nice patch of snow in the front yard that had not melted yet.

Andrew was smart enough to stay inside, where it was warm and dry.
