On The Move...

My favorite little guy spent some time with us on Friday afternoon/evening.

It had been a while since he'd visited for that long.

He only sat still for a total of about ten minutes the entire visit.

Most of those ten minutes were while he was eating supper.

At one point, he grabbed a throw pillow and got in the recliner to watch some television.

I grabbed my camera and took his photograph.

I'm glad I took it quickly.

He was up and gone about two minutes later.

Now I know why people have babies when they are young!

I also know how Cade's parents manage to stay thin.

Did I mention that Madison was visiting, too?

The two of them had a blast!

MiMi slept very good that night.

The end...

Smile--Or Not!

A "not-so-funny" thing happened this weekend...Maddie's daddy brought her over to our house so I could take a picture of her wearing the little shirt that I bought her for Halloween...

When I got my camera out, and asked her to pose beside my Halloween tree, this is the response that I got...

I am more than used to this response...I've seen this face multiple times over the past four years. I usually go ahead and just snap the photograph anyway. I figured I'd just make a collage of all of her "crying photos" one of these days...

Another "not so funny" thing happened when my husband-- known to Maddie as "E-pa"-- took the camera and asked Maddie to pose...

Now, what's up with this??? Look at that pose! I may have to pass the "picture taking duties" to "E-pa"...apparently, he knows how to get that special smile...It's hard to believe that these photographs were made less than 5 minutes apart!
