Hi! Joining in to follow along with your PTR! Lovely pictures of the children. Hope you are all feeling better soon!

Thank you! I love the shirt and the boots....Someone passed on a bunch of clothing that included that shirt and he wanted to wear so I let him... and he wanted his photo taken too! So I obliged..... He wears the boots everywhere. I think it is because they are easy to get on. I'm happy because he has lost a lb and I hope we can get some of that weight off this summer.... the steroids don't help! I did get him some Disney crocs so I think those will take over from the boots pretty soon!

I love having Zoe as a model...When I'm trying something new out in my little home studio, she is my model! I love finding cute things to try out on her. She goes to school next year and I probably won't get too many more. As most people probably notice I tend to do more portrait style shots than casual... because in the studio I can control what is in the background etc a lot better than in my house! (My house is small and full!) LOL! And I'm hoping to repaint my walls this summer from an ugly yellow green to something else... probably still green but not the same shade! I don't like photographing that yellow green! LOL!

 

[that's nice]

Love the pictures!!

I hope everyone is feeling better today.

I guess one thing I forgot to mention... the box you used came from OTC which comes out of Omaha....and so it went to WA and back to NE! Oh the silly things I notice!

LOVE that you were picked to be a Big Give Family and the fun has started! Lisa is such a wonderful person to do that for so many families!

I have to comment on the Hawaiian shirt...my oldest, Christian, began wearing Hawaiian shirts in seventh grade and he wears them now, almost to the exclusivity of anything else! His senior year of high school, he was featured in his yearbook for his sense of style...everybody knew him because of those shirts! They actually named a day for him in his honor for his sense of self and style...I still have the framed proclamation! EVERYBODY wore Hawaiian shirts, it was too funny (although I admit he had to loan quite a few friends his shirts ) That is a great memory for me. One day he came to school and found two very NICE (Much more expensive than I ever bought him) shirts hanging on his locker. His calculus professor had brought them in for Christian when he returned from his cruise... he had even had them dry-cleaned for him.
