we had a gorgeous weekend here in so cal. the weather was delightful and we had 2 of our men come home to us! just thought this one was funny.. it’s so papparazzi.. her carrying her gear- trying to stay away from the lens.
with elsie (and many toddlers, i’m sure) there is always a period of reacquainting that needs to take place before full on cuddles are given. uncle’s been away at college…
but there were great cheers and a little welcome dance/trot when we picked up daddy at the airport 🙂
we’ve had some late nights at the baseball field. it’s been exciting and COLD. the weather is rather batty right now.
someone asked me how i get pictures of elsie.. i’d like to say that most of the time she’s camera ready. 🙂 this one above is a prime example of bribery. ‘snack stand? smile please.’ 🙂 but sometimes, as many bribes as i offer, she will not budge. i get this.
me: ‘please elsie? turn around, real quick.’ e: ‘no. i’m drawing.’
ok fine. i actually like the way this looks anyways 🙂

Great photos as always, Jaime! Sometimes those ones from behind really tell a good story. I got a great shot of my younger son writing a story…photo taken from behind so you can see his hand and his handwriting! Can’t wait to scrap that one!
My question would be: how many photos do you take to get the “perfect” shot? You always seem to have such great shots of your kiddos. Sure wish mine were as cooperative! Hahaha 🙂

many times i will tell my kids to stop what they are doing and look at me, but then i always love the ones of them doing their own thing better than when i made them look at me!!! so fuNNY!
oh and by the way, i think your photos just keep getting even better and better, if it’s possible!
