I tried to get more pictures of Matthew on his tummy, in his diaper and little winter cap. Time is running out. Before you know it, my little non-mobile, captive subject is going to be running away from me and my camera of doom. 🙂
I got some cute pictures but nothing that can be printed very big. Unfortunately, there just isn’t enough light in his room…even at noon. Darn December overcast days….

Disclaier: Flashback Friday’s may be slightly limited to whatever pictures I may have already uploaded to Flickr due to a hard drive crash in October. We appear to have “lost” all my digital pictures from 2006 to October 20-something. So, you’ll get what you get until we can figure something out…
Now that the cards have been addressed, mailed and received…I thought I’d share the story of how our Christmas cards came to life. 🙂
According to online dictionaries, “fiasco” means a complete failure. I wouldn’t say our excursion to get a family picture for our Christmas cards was a complete failure. But it sure was frustrating, exhausting and irritating. 😉
Trying to get a nice shot of 4 people at the same time is a challenge. Throw in the fact that one can’t sit unassisted and one refuses to hold still and it becomes a challenge of monumental proportions. I’m REALLY looking forward to the day the boys will both cooperate for me at the same time…unfortunately, we’re YEARS away from that day.
I gave my mom a 15 minute lesson on how to work my camera, adjusted the settings and handed it over. Mom did an awesome job and we got some nice shots.
I went home and uploaded the shots, very excited to see some keepers. After days and days of editing and obsessing, I finally created the final product:
This is my favorite “outtake”…notice the bribe in his hand?
