odu grad

I am SO proud of my little brother.  I really cannot believe that he is old enough to have graduated college, but alas here we are.

 

 

 

Congratulations, little brother!  Can't wait to celebrate with you in a couple weeks!

christmas photos

So I realize I haven't blogged in a while....okay, it's been like 6-7 months.  My bad!  I just thought I would share a little behind the scenes photos to piggyback on my sister's recent post about Christmas photos!  Lucy is a tough subject for photos.  Not only does she frown when you tell her to smile, turn around when you tell her to look at the camera, but when she actually looks at the camera she is just like her daddy and blinks 9/10 times! Now, I am no professional so maybe the pros are better at getting good photos...  Either way, enjoy some of these "bloopers" below.

This is one of the "smile" faces.

Here she is showing me a rock...makes for a great Christmas photo.

 

Running like a crazy person.

 

Picking up everything in sight including a leaf, poky thing, and stick.

And here is where she took said stick and came up to me (with the camera) and said BOOP BOOP BOOP on the camera lens.

Now of course she didn't want to take any pics of just herself, but then Chris and I went to get a couple of pictures for our Christmas card and someone just had to be in it...

But in all seriousness, Lucy truly is such a blessing to Chris and me.  We've had a rough go of it this fall and Lucy has helped to fill a void we have been feeling.  She always surprises us with her little comments and expressions and we absolutely love her!  Can't wait to meet her little sibling so soon.
