So, today I decided to take a few shots of myself for a collage I'm making for our front room. Of course I have lots of photos of the kids and even of Kev (although I get an earful each time I come near him with the camera) but I really don't have many photos of myself. It's such a silly thing, too; I always want to have photos of me because I love photos of any subject and especially of people having fun (and I'm just that narcissistic) but I hate looking at photos of me because I'm a horrible judge of how I appear. Common girl complaint, I know. Anyway, now and again I get motivated to try to get shots of myself, usually when I have something special in mind for them and today was the day. I set up the tripod and used Josiah to focus, set the self-timer, and let 'er rip! I got a few good ones and for the most part, I'm happy with them. They're good enough for my project, anyway.
And really, as if it's not hard enough to get a good, focused shot where my eyes aren't too open and my smile looks real and my head isn't crooked. . . . . the boy had to sneak in at the last second:
Honestly I didn't even know he was there until I downloaded them. Goofball . . . :)
This next one was all their own pose . . . I figured I'd better get it now before "little brothers are gross!" and "big sisters are mean!"
I gotta say, it's nice that they can pose themselves now -- it only took how many years?!
Love 'em!
This little beauty came to play last week. We played once before, when she was dressed up for Christmas, and this visit was just as fun!
I had a dress just like this blue rosebud one when I was little -- love it!
I got to try out some of my new backdrops and she played along perfectly. 
And she got a new red wagon for the occasion -- and was thrilled with it!
And this last one I just couldn't pass up. . . crawlin' away all covered in grass.
Thanks for bringing her back to play, guys! I had a great time!
