Paige

This is quite possibly the sweetest picture of Paige. She's been having an emotional few weeks lately and this sweet little sleeping girl just melts my heart.


I'm not sure if her struggles are because:
-she's three
or
-she's three and hasn't been feeling 100%
or
-she's three, hasn't been feeling 100% and has a busy mom
or
-she's three, hasn't been feeling 100%, has a busy mom and a sick baby sister who monopolizes her mom's time
or
-she's three, hasn't been feeling 100%, has a busy mom, a sick baby sister who monopolizes her mom's time and a big sister who gets to do fun things like go to school
or
-she's three, hasn't been feeling 100%, has a busy mom, a sick baby sister who monopolizes her mom's time, a big sister who gets to do fun things like go to school and who likes to wake her up early to cuddle
or
-she's just three

Regardless of what it is, this was one of those moments that had me climbing into bed with her to cuddle. How could I resist?

Quick little update

The girls are in bed, Ben's out with friends and I have a few moments of me time...and I've been sorting and editing pictures. I'm just realizing that I'll have a one year old in less than two weeks. And that means I need to put together her one year video. So sorting it is. I've taken a hundred million pictures and now I need to decide  Where do I even start?

Speaking of pictures...I think I'm going to do it. I'm going to make the jump and start taking picture of people for real. For real guys! I've been practicing and working on this for years. I've taken a few courses and I just have a few more things to finish and then I'm ready to launch this thing. I'll probably start out with an introductory rate...a portfolio builder. And see how things go from there. So in preparation I've been taking pictures of my girls and just testing things out a bit. I BEGGED them for a shoot last week and they only agreed as long as they got to pick their outfits, wear my jewelry and wear makeup. So I obliged. We found a tiny spot of shade in my backyard and snapped a few frames. And I think I came out with a few keepers. These girls are LOVELY!
