Nov 23: Photo Shoot

We had our family pictures taken over Thanksgiving (read the details here). These were some we took ourselves.

Nov 12: Special event not required

Calli just asked for me to take a picture of her and Mari - how could I refuse? Sorry, I had to post two pictures, they never both smile in the same shot :)

Nov 4: In Their Sunday Best

Mac Attack!

So Tia KT is a Mac girl - but I still love her. Look at those cool pics she took with her laptop and Mac photo program. FYI - another way to get Calli to smile is when she can see herself. But Mari doesn't think the whole thing is too thrilling.

Big Girls

It seems like they get bigger every day! They looked so grown up to me today in their summer outfits. And just this morning Mari was walking around the dining room with Calli on one side, and me on the other. Time flies!

2 smiles: 2 much 2 ask?

For picture taking, this is pretty typical. One smiles -


And then the other -


Then neither -


Finally, they are both looking - are they smiling? close enough :)

Spring Photo Shoot

Lunch With Lucas

Today we had a lunch date with Lucas, Ana & Elizabeth (Lucas' grandma). We met at Old Orchard where it was so nice we could enjoy our lunch outside.


And, I managed to wear my "Live Aloha" t-shirt. This is one of a set of three from when Julie, KT and I all got matching shirts when we visited Julie in Hawaii.

After lunch, and a little time running around on the dragon, I dragged the girls off for pictures. Picture People didn't have any appointments, but I took advantage of all the beautiful flowers around Old Orchard and we did our own photo shoot. (More pics to come.)

As you may have noticed, it can be tricky to get Calli to look at the camera. So gave in, and bribed the girls that after a few more good pictures, I'd give them a cookie. When I pushed them as far as they would go, I loaded them in the stroller, gave them each half of a chocolate chip cookie, and headed for the car. When I arrived at the car, this is what I found :)
