Catch-up Post #1: Thanksgiving Family Pictures

Yes, I know I am failing in the class of How to be a Proficient Blogger (Rule #1: Please post, and post often). But I am ridiculously busy for a Just-Started to Stay-At-Home Mama! I used to rely on 2 naps per day, like clockwork. However, ever since Christmas, I believe Evie's clock has transformed into a new clock that defies a realistic sense of time and a physiological need to rest. One day, we have two naps. The next day, no morning nap but a long afternoon nap. The third day, one nap for only 45 minutes all day long. And then next week, she takes her afternoon nap at 5p.m. Of course, while she is awake, she is all quick fingers, lightening fast crawling (or very determined cruising), and constant demands to walk her to the other end of the house, read books, or feed me broccoli NOW.

So, I have decided that I just need to start the Catch-Up Posts Series, and then catch-up to the Series whenever I get a moment to post more Catch-Up Posts.

Therefore --

My sister Lillian is a fabulous photographer and has a great eye for seeing things. She is starting up a great little business (mostly through word of mouth) of taking family portraits for families. You can see her work and her baby here. After a Thanksgiving brunch at Lillian's house, we had family pictures time. Here is a small sample of the 180 pictures that Lillian took of the Dalton folk. By the way, these were taken in her backyard.




Evie and her cousin Ella Reese.




By the poor picture quality, you can tell that this picture was taken on my Kodak Easy Shoot. We were trying to do a sister picture with offspring, but the girls were super squirmy by this point and either wanted or did not want Ella Reese's shoe.
