Trapeze!


Layout, originally uploaded by Life Happens.

Matt was kind enough to try and get some cool shots of me at Trapeze. I only did one front-end (2 part) splits as a demo before i got down to work on my layouts.

I'm getting to the point where I am working on finessing my swing and technique.....but today I got to try my very first back double. (That would be a double somersault!) Woo Hoo!!!

CTR


CTR, originally uploaded by Life Happens.

For all those wondering, CTR stands for Choose the Right (similar to WWJD)

This was a happy accident. I usually try to get a shot of newborns with the mom and dad's wedding ring on their toes. Mom's hands were still a bit puffy so we used her CTR ring instead.

I love how this turned out and I love how their faith in God and hope for their son's future is emphasized.

The sneaky one


Handmade Dresses, originally uploaded by Life Happens.
So when I was painting Maddy's room, I took the doorknob off and I never got around to putting it back on. I had realized that it made a GREAT child lock.


This simple bought of laziness solved the problem of my daughter changing clothes 9 times a day. Suddenly, she couldn't get to them and her original outfit stayed on! Plus it gave me a place to put toys that were too messy or not played with anymore.

Her room was so much cleaner with the excess tucked into a childproof closet.....but not for long!

She discovered that she could stack the stepstools on top of each other and reach the doorknob that sits on top of her dresser, then using the same stepstools, she could turn on the closet light and open the door! (So much for it being too complicated to figure out!)

I found out about her new ability when she started bringing me baby toys and wearing too small outfits! Crazy child!

I have been pleading....

...with every pregnant chick I know to let me try this!

Thank you Leila for being brave and trusting me. Thank you Tony for not dropping Adam!

Congrats to both of you!



EDIT EDIT EDIT

Adam is only a few inches above a couch cushion....you can't see it because it's covered with the same black fabric that is in the background.

I can't believe I'm THAT big!!

Gina was so much fun! I loved doing these pictures! The crazy thing was that her tummy REALLY DIDN'T look big at all!

I had to get really creative to get her tiny 8 month belly to LOOK like she was that far along!
