. . .a photographer. . .

This is of course, a wild and highly unlikely dream because I don't like staged pictures. I like natural, normal, fun, unique pictures. So, my little point and shoot camera comes with us a lot and we have fun taking pictures. Love the camera on my phone too. . .it is why this post is being written. The other night Eddy and I were lying on the bed chatting before bedtime and Heidi came and laid down right next to us. The moment was so, so cute that I grabbed my phone to snap a picture. . .and thus began what must be the WoRsT photo shoot ever! I'll show you the evidence. . .

I told you!  None of these pictures will ever show up in a frame on our walls, but we had so much fun and laughed so hard my face hurt! 

These final two pictures are my absolute favorites.  Heidi and Eddy are the best of friends.  I just love these two little arms hugging each other so tightly!  Also love the fact that our kitty stayed right there on the bed the whole crazy time.  She was my baby way before marriage and kids came along and she used to hide when any visitors came over, but through the loving patience of all the kids, Sarah and Bobbiann included, she has come to the point where she can snooze away no matter what's going on around her.

Best Face Photo of 2010

I would love to be a good photographer but I seem to have lighting issues no matter where I am.  Some day there will be time to study this out and fix it. . .in the meantime, I will continue to snap shots of my family and hope for good ones!  This summer during VBS there were actually a few good shots and this one of Eddy is so precious:

Can you guess what the theme of the week was?  ha, ha

So I entered it in a contest at:
