Since there are a lot of crazy people in the world and my blog is posted on the internet for all to find, I’ve decided to watermark my photos with my name and a copyright symbol. I’ve also added a “do not steal my stuff” paragraph in the sidebar under my “About Me” section.
It may not deter someone who REALLY wants to use the pictures for no good but I think it will deter the lazier nutjobs. 😉
In other news, I took this picture last night from the front door. I think it’s been snowing every minute of every day since Friday afternoon (I think). While we don’t have a ton of snow (maybe 12-18 inches max), having to brush snow and scrape ice off the car every time we need to drive somewhere is getting a little old. And don’t get me started on the sloppy roads….
Please note the utter destruction. And how cute Matthew looks trying to get at the juice Daddy is teasing him with.
Ian playing with his camera:
Matthew (with weird bath hair) playing baseball:
I tried to get nice pictures of Mike with the boys…
Here’s one with Daddy tickling Matthew and both laughing:
Good, right? I love those guys! 🙂
Next up was Ian….I’m hoping to get one just as good as the Matthew shot.
Instead, neither will hold still and all the pictures have motion blur.
This is the best one I got:
What the heck is THAT?!?!? LOL Is he my son or what?!?!
Ian made up for it later when I got these shots of him being tackled by Matthew:
And, um, when did he grow up? He looks like he’s 8 in this picture!
You pretty much got a feel for Christmas morning at our house in this post and this post. Afterward, my family came over for our annual Christmas morning breakfast. When nap time rolled around, the Joneses and Alts went home and Matthew went down for a nap. And, okay, I might have napped too. 🙂
After all that, we packed everyone up and drove to Great Grandpa Samulski’s house to do Christmas dinner and presents with Mike’s side of the family.
Ian playing with his camera:
Four generations of Samulskis in this picture:
Grandpa and Great Grandpa keeping an eye on the trouble maker while he tries to figure out which thing to grab and run off with:
(Is it me or does it look like Matthew and Great Grandpa were shopping at the same store? LOL)
Aunt Jackie and Ian:
Thinking about touching things he shouldn’t be touching:
Having peanuts with the big boys:
Playing with his new toy:
Daddy loving on Matthew:
I realized I hardly have any pictures of Ian. He was there but he was at the dining room table playing board games with Aunt Jackie for a good portion of the night. 🙂
