Three at 4 months

Ha ha, originally I wrote “four at 4 months” by accident, oops! Yikes!

This is the latest installment of my three munchkins at the same age. It’s amazing to me how much they all look alike and yet how much to me they seem different. I’ve mentioned that we get asked if the boys are twins on a fairly regular basis. And people are frequently telling me how much they look alike and how they can’t tell them apart. Being their mom I can’t really see it. I see each of them as their own individual person, and their personalities, being so different make them look completely different. However, I can see enough similarities to understand why people who don’t know them well would think that they look so much alike. :-)

Someone may get tired of seeing these close up “eye” pictures of Ella, but it won’t be me. :-) She’s just so sweet, and I love getting right in her face with the camera and trying to catch some of those flitting baby expressions. Love it!!

Aperture Brushes

So Stu got me Aperture 3 and I have had it for awhile, but only JUST installed it. First I kinda forgot about it, and then the disk reader on my iMac went out so I couldn’t, then…. but wait, you don’t need all those details. Ha! Just know that NOW it is installed and I have been playing with all the new fun features! I’m now completely convinced that I won’t be switching to Photoshop! This program does what I want and what I need and is SO SO SO SO simple! Love it! The new “stuff” that I’m super excited about are the brushes that I can now use and the presets that I can also add to. It’s great!

Here’s a non-Ella picture for you! Ha ha ha!! I know you all love seeing her sweet baby cheeks too! BUT I have to say that I think this is a way cool picture! I took this in the candle light the week before New Years when our power went out. It went out before Qade had gone to bed and he had a BLAST running around with his Daddy and his new Christmas Lightning McQueen flashlight! ;-) Ha! Anyway, we sat together near the candles and he had a snack of trail mix before I took him to bed as well. I took quiet a few pictures of him trying to get at least ONE that wasn’t blurred… low light, ya know? So he was messing with the curtain when I snagged this one, and thought it was just too awesome. Sometimes the non smile pics can be the best ya know?

Hope you enjoyed that. The next post… which is coming up in about 10 min WILL have pics of Ella, but since it’s one that’s already been “officially” posted, I don’t think it counts.

Ta ta!

I know I have 2 other children who need some screen time as well, but the expressions I’ve been getting from this little darlin’ have just been too good not to post! :-) I’ve also been playing with some new tools in my Aperture program and I think that me likey… a lot! Anyway, I promise the next picture I post will have one or more lads in it. ;-) Hee hee!

Peek-a-boo!

Big eyes

I’ve been playing with the B&W presets on my new Aperture program. It’s fun!! I loved the way that Ella’s eyes just kind of “popped” in this shot, so I thought I’d share it with you. :-)

Big eyes!

I think I’ve been posting too many word blogs and not enough picture blogs. :-) So for your amusement today I’m also posting one of my recent 365 pics. I love this one!!

Three Month Shoot

Here’s a couple of shots of our Ella Bella Rose! Ha ha! Poor thing! It was FREEZING in the studio today. But the sun is shining on the snow and makes for GREAT natural lighting!! SO, I set everything up and then dashed in with the poor cold baby and snapped a couple of shots as fast as I could and then whisked her out again. She did very well for being in the arctic and I got a couple of shots that I thought were very adorable, of course! ;-)

Christmas in pictures

I was going to write a big blogpost all about our Christmas, but decided since pictures are worth a thousand words I’ll just let them do the talking with minimal input from moi. ;-) Believe me you’ll appreciate it since I can be SO long winded when yacking about MY family. :-)

3 at 3 months

So here’s my next installment of my 3 amigos in the same stages. I tried to find a similar pose with all of them, but it didn’t work out this time around. Perhaps next??? :-) It’s fun to go back and see how little my big-boys were! They seem SO big now! Qade ended up looking entirely too old on our Christmas card this year. How in the world did that happen?? :-) I’m still finding it hard to believe that Ella is already 3 months old! She already seems way too big! I need to get some pixy dust or something to keep her little!
