One thing Kyle and I do is homemade cards for birthday and stuff. So for Kyle's birthday, my idea was to get a picture of the kids looking nice that I could use to make a card. I learned a few things from this experience.
One: children will always change their expression in that split second between when your finger descends on the shutter and the picture actually snaps.
Two: taking pictures of two children with no helpers is crazy-hard.
Three: my kids are cute enough that it all turned out all right anyways (and me taking about 50 shots helped also). Thank goodness <grin>

For those keeping track, these were taken October 10, 2008. Kylie is in her Sunday dress her Nana bought her, and Sammy is in his blessing outfit.

This is the picture I used for the card. Aren't they beautiful!

Kylie and Sam, sharing a moment. (Kylie is poking and Sam is enduring. Pretty typical, really <grin>.)

Trying to keep Kylie in one place was a bit of a challenge. That is one squirmy girl I have! I took this picture right before she dived off the couch, and spent the next fifteen minutes trying to keep her hands off of the camera.

My beautiful boy.

Beginning of March, Kylie and I went to a baby shower for my cousin Jessica. It gave Kylie a chance to wear a pretty new dress bought for her by her Nana, and she looked lovely. Behaved pretty well too, which is good. I'd hate to think we scared Jessica with what she had in store .

It's very true that without her grandmothers, Kylie would have nothing to wear. Her Nana (Kyle's Mom) has wonderful taste and loves to see her granddaughters not only look pretty (which of course, they do naturally) but look nicely-dressed as well. If anyone has every admired the bows that Kylie's wearing in a lot of her pictures, they're gifts from her Nana.

Her Grandma (Katharine's Mom) recently sent Kylie a pretty new Sunday dress, but unfortunately Grandma does not live close enough to see how Kylie looks in it. So here's a picture of Kylie in her Sunday dress dedicated to both of her wonderful Grandmothers.

So, the Sunday before last Sunday (Gah! How does time go so fast?) we dressed up the girls in their blessing outfits again and took some beautiful pictures. It's not easy taking pictures of multiple babies -- you get one smiling and the other is either grimacing or sobbing. <laugh< But I think we got some good ones -- we put a few in frames for Glenda's birthday which was a definite hit.<laugh>

On a side note, I still adore Kylie's blessing dress. We found it at a little shop called Bambinos that Erin recommended. Right now it's hanging on Kylie's closet door with a big pink floppy bow on top of a hook. Easy decorating!

And last but not least...

(Because it's the responsibility of every parent to have at least a few pictures that will embarrass a child before potential suitors. <grin> )
