Tent Building 101

Ok SO I am an Architect, among the other things I do...you would think I could build a tent...BUT I put up Holden's tent (an awesome 3rd birthday gift from Tante Beth!) and Tom got home and immediately deemed it unfit, and fixed it...now Holden doesn't trust me to put up his tent...he is happy to wait for daddy to fix it...humph!

Holden and Daniel were "camping" :-)

The W Family | 2010

Just a few of my favorites from my latest family session...There were so many great ones!

 

My good friend asked me to photograph her family, at her parents home.  It was such a nice setting, and her grandpa was there to get in on some of the shots...what a special shoot.

The whole family is gorgeous so it was an easy shoot:-)

Mr. A and his daddy:-)

Love this series:-)

The siblings...

The Cousins...

Thanks W Family!

Wordless Wednesday - Oh How I have Missed You!

Faces

While taking pictures of the boys Holden asked me to take a picture of his sad face...Here it is...

What would you call Daniel's face?

Two Boys...

I never would have thought that you would see our boys interact so much already...Holden loves Daniel and always wants to help, and give him loves...sometimes a little too much...the other day he LIFTED BY HIMSELF Daniel out of his swing and "carried" him around until Daniel slipped out of his grasp...luckily daddy was right there!

AND he is always wrestling with Daniel...much to Daniel's delight...it about gave me a heart attack the first time I saw Holden lay on Daniel and rock him back and forth and finally roll WITH him...BUT Daniel just smiles and giggles and LOVES it when Holden plays so rough with him...

The feeling of love is mutual from Daniel...besides laughing whenever Holden is rough, he smiles as soon as Holden walks in the room...In the morning if Daniel wakes before Holden and he is in our bed...as soon as he hears Holden's voice (which ALWAYS enters the room before he does) he strains to see him and smiles...He loves to watch Holden be crazy and run around...He loves it when Holden shows him a toy, or even better gives him one to play with!

Holden quite often just wants to be with Daniel...and maybe it's true what grandma's say, that kisses REALLY do make you grow...because Daniel is a little big for his age! AND he gets kissed by mom and big brother ALL DAY LONG!

It is so fun to watch their relationship starting, and hopefully it will continue to grow and they will always be close...although with two boys I am sure there will be plenty of fighting as well! But right now Holden is counting the days until Daniel can do what he does and play with him...

I mentioned to Holden we would be starting to feed Daniel solid food soon...He asks me now everyday...can we give Daniel Banana, or avocado, or cereal? I want to help...

And Daniel...he is SO frustrated with watching Holden and not being able to sit quite steady yet...he sits for a little bit...maybe a minute? and then topples over...he is ready in his head you can tell...ready to move...but his body is not quite there! But little by little he is getting it:-)
