Remember that photo shoot?

-
Hello, Boone!
Calder, your hair!  Lawson, your tongue!
Boone. What. Is. That. Smile? Hugh actually said, "He looks like the devil."

Calder. What. Is. That. Smile?

Really? Again, Calder?

Boone. Sigh.

It got so bad with the kids that the photographer suggested we hop in. Hugh, by chance, was coordinated with the kids!

On our way to the photo shoot I told Hugh that I would have canceled had it not been part of a one day fundraiser. The photos are beautiful quality and I think the photographer really didn't get a chance to snap our perfect shot with our two sick kids. I would definitely ask her to shoot our family again if Deena wasn't available.

I kept the print of Tripp. I have a nice white frame at home that I think would have looked even nicer in these shots. I definitely will file the location and idea for another day.

I am the featured blogger on the Blended Blog today. I enjoyed writing for them and hope I get asked again!


Happy Long Weekend!

    These photos are wonderful in my opinion. I love that they display the reality of attempting to get everyone to look/smile/sit still, etc. I really like that you have a picture of Tripp included in your family photos, it's lovely for your children to know about their little/big brother and to honor him. I had to giggle at the 5th picture because Lawson and Calder seem to have the exact same smile. I also noticed in these photos that Calder doesn't stray far from Lawson, is he the protective brother type?

Calder missed nailing our baby's arrival by 4 hours. Boone James Hamilton was born at 3:59 this morning. Boone is doing well. We got back some positive test results today and will hopefully get the remaining few tomorrow. He gets to spend the night with us and at this point that is all we can ask!

Another embarassing one

On Tuesday, I had this brilliant post formulated in my head. Then just before supper the power went out. Although the internet went down with the power, I still could have just written it on the computer to publish in the morning. Instead, I took full advantage of a sick child (who slept on the couch most of the evening) and a husband who was in the city (at his Grade 8's Farewell). I read. And also did some texting. But mostly I read (There was a moment that I thought I should conserve the power on my cell phone in case it the power took its sweet time coming on, but it was short lived. I figured that I could always go charge it in the van. Hugh was glad that it didn't get to that. He pictured me not getting the garage door open (I would have had to have manually open since there wasn't any power). Then he pictured me sitting in the van dying of carbon monoxide poisoning. I wish he would have given me a little more credit when this elaborate daydream was running t...

Guest Post Luke: Men at Ikea

     I've recently been blessed with 2 trips to Ikea in the last 3 months, and with a lot of time on my hands while in Ikea I came to notice a few similarities in all the men walking around there.   As I was taking notes on every man I saw, and mostly myself , I came up with different types of guys and what their role was with their significant other.          The first guy, who I believe to be the most common, is "The Turn Back Man".  This man believes that, just like in racing, if he stays in front of his significant other he can use drafting to increase her speed and keep her on track.  This never works and he subsequently becomes the "Turn Back Man".  He is constantly 4 steps ahead and turning back over and over when SHE sees something else they "might" need.  It is tough, because when entering Ikea men want to do as little walking as possible, but this has us taking even more steps. It is the slight chance that ...
