Family Pictures

 The last time we had family pictures done with Mike's family was in fall of 2011. Looks like I didn't blog the photos, but they made it into my photo book, so everything is good. You can see how little everyone one was. My little Adam had squishy cheeks. 

We were supposed to do pictures last fall, but the weather turned cold and Covid cases increased. We decided to postpone until spring, which allowed me to change the wardrobes/color schemes. I love how pictures turn out, but I'd be lying if I said they don't stress me out a bit. I found a photographer that had been mentioned in a community group. She did an okay job, and got some good shots, but we didn't like any of the family ones. She didn't tell us where to stand and it all look disjointed. I really wanted a new wall picture, so I made yet another photo session with a new photographer. I'll put highlights from each. It's hard to not post every single great pic. 

As you can see, lots of great shots. I just didn't like how the big group shots turned out. If we were going to spend a gazillion dollars on pics I wanted a good group shop. I got a hold of Melanie Brown 

and we went back for yet another photo session. This time just focusing on the groups. We got the pictures we wanted and everyone survived. ;)

Here are some pics I took of Audrey while we were waiting. Her gangster face is the best!

Audrey Update

I guess my posts solely dedicated to Audrey every couple weeks are declining. ;) When we went to her 18 mo appointment her Dr said she's ahead enough that he didn't need to see her until 2 1/2. I don't seem to have recorded her head size, but it is sizeable. (To fit her sizeable brains of course) She decided she no longer likes her pediatrician, even though he's the nicest guy around. Here are her stats. 

Weight 27.6 lbs 30% 

Height 36.9" 84%

Audrey has the cutest little personality, and we all love it when she shows it. This is her "I mean business" look. She lifts up her arms and shoulders and walks around. I don't have a picture of her baby fists of fury, but they are equally adorable. 

Tulip Festival with Emily and Ashley

 Sarah and I had a girls date with my friend Emily and her daughter Ashley. It was a treat and I'll do it each year we have a pass. It was nice to walk around rather than drive, and was basically one giant photo shoot.
