"May the love hidden deep inside your heart find the love waiting in your dreams. May the laughter that you find in your tomorrow wipe away the pain you find in your yesterdays."

Tooting my Own Horn

I'm a damn good photographer. I'm usually modest but when it comes to my photography, it's above average. If I had enough money to get started and a lack of anxiety, I'd quit work (mmm) and start up my own photography business. But alas, another dream for another day.

But do you know what stinks? I don't have any uber-cool pictures of me and the Munchkin like I do of me and the TurkeyKid. This is not to say I don't have pictures of the two of us: I do! I do! Lots of pictures of us playing. A bunch of posed, smiling ones. A few impromptu, cool ones (picking flowers in the park and her sleeping on my chest after her first birthday party both come to mind). But, I didn't take them. Right now, my favorite thing to do is to take pictures of myself with BigBrother. That sounds weird, but, it's what I enjoy doing right now. Here's two fun ones from yesterday's "Outside Fest."

THIS is LOVE  

Tummy Time Fun! 

Now, one shouldn't be too picky. I'm lucky to have pictures of myself and Munchkin. I treasure each and every last one of them. I wish I could wallpaper the third bedroom with them, over and over. But that might be weird. ;) And perhaps that's why I'm in this phase of taking pictures of me and BigBrother; because I don't get to play artsy-fartsy photographer with my firstborn. Anyway, I'm rambling. It's raining and I miss my Munchkin. Sending her love across the miles.

PS - Second picture? That blanket (which has way fun stuff on the other side as well) is four days from being twenty-five years old. 


You know..aside from being born one day and many years apart..you know what?? We kinda look like each other too.

Odd.. It just hit me..looking at you…looking at me.
Gosh I want to squish him!!!

That’s because we’re hot, of course.

Great pictures! You have a very creative and expressive approach to your photography. BigBrother is so darned cute!
