Driver's licence expiration of six days after due date equals...

...five more years of fat face. Ick.

(Yes - I know that it's worth it. But at 38 weeks along, I feel I'm within my rights to complain a little about it!) =)

Newbie's wall

So, I don't really know that this picture should go on my blog, but it felt even weirder posting it on Addy's blog (we're planning on hosting a shared blog for the girls once Newbie is born), so here it is. Adam's Mom has been out here this past week pouring her blood, sweat and tears into this room for Newbie. It's the stained glass rose from the beginning of The Beauty and the Beast. And this picture doesn't do it justice - it's completely amazing.

(Oh, and just in case you've forgotten what Addy's room/mural looks like, it's posted above. It too is incredible.)

Maternity pictures

So, picture this.

A tripod, a camera with a timer, a wiggly 18 month old girl, two tired parents and a hope for some fun family maternity shots. It was a challenge to say the least, but it was fun too. Click here to see some of our final results. =)

Help!!

Many of you readers know that I'm in the process of setting up a little photography studio in our house. I've been going on that full force recently... I've had 19 sittings in the past 10 days (plus our own family sitting), as I'm trying to get my portfolio and website started. I've narrowed down the pictures that I've taken to just the handful posted here for the site, but I still want to narrow it down some more... and that's where I'd love some help! If you have a chance and are so inclined, would you mind sending me an email (to melanieATsmithDOTnet (you all know how that works, right?)) with your top 10 and your bottom 10? I know that different people look for different things in pictures, and I'd love to get some perspectives from outside my mind and our house! =)

Thanks so much for your help!! =)
