The Good Ones!

Here are the good pics that came out of our family Christmas picture.

Good News, Bad News

The good news is that we had an amazing, and exhausting Christmas!! We spent this year in Valdosta with Hank's family. The entire family headed to Disney World for three days before Christmas and returned to Valdosta on Christmas Eve for all the normal festivities. We headed home on Christmas afternoon, and got in around 5, just in time to head over to do Christmas gifts and dinner with my family.

The bad news is that we left our camcorder in Valdosta. AAANNNDDDD on top of that, we had downloaded all of our digital pictures from Christmas in GA onto Hank's parents computer and tried to burn a disk. When we got home, we found ZERO pictures on the disk. I am NOT a happy camper to say the least! We have some amazing pictures and hilarious videos that NEED to be seen! :)

Hank heads back to his parents in a couple of weeks and I am mortified to report that pictures cannot be posted until I recieve them.

Until later, this is a very sad blogger, signing off.

Pretty Baby

Ava Sophia is nearly four months old and I just now got around to getting her pictures taken! I guess that's the price she pays for being the third child, huh? :) I have talked to Anna White about taking family pictures and was going to have her take Sophie's pictures for me, but I was trying to wait for Bryant's ever damaged face to heal (again) from one of the many bumps, bruises, or scrapes. I called Portrait Innovations Tuesday night and asked if they had anything available any time soon. They happened to have a cancellation for Wednesday morning, so we jumped on it! Here are the results: I had them turn this one black and white... it is so gorgeous!I spent enough to get the disk with all the pictures on it. But I got the unedited version of all the pictures, so this one isn't centered. Mom & Dad don't have Photoshop, so you get what you get! This is the main one I got. They even gave me 6 free cards with this picture on it. I have them put her full name, her birthdate, and her birth weight.They did a special effects on with these three that I love. it has the picture of her on the right, and on the left side is the picture of her feet and a close up of one of her hands with the bracelet on it with faded, fuzzy edges.
I love this outfit, but didn't realize until after the photo session that it really needed a bow. She almost looks like a boy in it! Thank goodness for the little bracelet!

I know Mel's gonna leave a comment about putting a bow in her hair, so let me explain. I had a bunch of bows with me. And even had one in her hair, but it felt unauthentic to me. I love how she looks without bows too... and I thought the dress and bracelet were enough. A natural beauty doesn't need adornment anyway! Besides, the bows kept coming out of her hair! So there.
