Picture Day!!

This morning we made our monthly pilgrimage to get pictures taken, and what a success it was!!

Trying to get Caleb's pictures taken in recent months has been an absolute nightmare. His antics have included everything from tripping over backdrops to tackling Katherine. He's tried running away from the camera and body slamming pillows.... Really, there's not much he hasn't tried! It's been a challenge, and by the time the shoot was over I was sweating and ready for a nap. Today was *totally* different! Shocking, huh??

I've got to tell ya - since my expectations of Caleb were so low, we started off with just Katherine and sat Caleb (with snack) on the side. All of a sudden, he grabs a handful of pretzels and runs to Katherine and plops down next to her and smiles for the camera. I could hardly believe it!! After all the months of frustration, all it takes is a couple of pretzels, and an "I don't care if you're here or not" attitude??? If only I'd thought of that sooner!! LOL. Here's to hoping that the pretzels can be edited out!!

Katherine was amazing today! She took such great pictures, and really connected with the camera. The raw images I saw were fantastic! Oh -- and get this... Holly is going to use one of the images she took of her two months ago for their new ad campaign. Pretty cool, huh?? That's my girl, one gorgeous little princess!

Since so many people are gone this weekend, and it's supposed to be absolutely gorgeous outside, we're skipping playgroup for the first time in almost a year. With a high of 80*, and my brother wanting to take the kids to Adventureland, we're off for a day of rides at the park. Can't wait!!!
