not about crafts!

So. My kids?


They're CUTE! Even when one's borderline choking the other one. Hug, choke, samediff. I ended up going the DIY route on our photo session this year, since A & V have been known not to cooperate with a pro which makes me all agitated and sweaty, and also since I did kindasorta talk my husband into getting me a nice camera by saying "but think how much money we'll SAVE not paying a photographer all the time!" And then I hired a photographer ten times after that. So this time around, I hired (for free) an assistant (my mom) and we took the kids out on a perfect fall day and snapped away. And then I actually took some time to play with that Aperture editing program I've had on my computer for oh, like 10 months. And I'm so, so happy with our results! Of course, I'm only sharing the so-so ones that aren't my super top favorites. Christmas cards and grandparent gifts and such, you know? But trust me. There are some where BOTH of my kids are not only looking in the general direction of my lens but ALSO smiling. I know. It's as miraculous as a sparkly unicorn.
