it is 7:53a on Saturday...luc has been up for about an hour. so far she's managed to climb ALL of the stairs & end up in the upstairs bathroom before i realized it, play in the downstairs toilet, and almost pulled my hot coffee down onto herself. am i out of practice after 3 days off or was dear daughter on her bestest behavior for her dad? savin up all the mischief for mom?
i was making coffee as i'm especially tired today for some reason & was sort of not with it yet...and all of the sudden i realize i don't hear the pea...i look over, and i swear, tallulah was looking toward the stairs VERY alarmed. i did a quick scan & realized Luci was no where to be seen. i also realized i did not shut the gate (well...our version of a gate...a very large piece of cardboard)...and tallulah was still looking up...very alarmed. so i quietly ran up the stairs, expecting to encounter her at the second mini flight...nope...then i heard the upstairs bathroom door shut. man oh man i'm a bad, but VERY lucky mama today in that nothing bad happened. thank heaven!
for photos today, see the results of our fancy schmancy photo shoot with the gifted photographer rebecca-linh rodgers. lil luc was having NONE of the photo shoot & although we were there for over an hour the photos you see were taken in during the first 15 minutes of the shoot. luckily rebecca is a seasoned mom herself & understands & works with the fact that 1 year olds are not the best subjects. it was 100 degrees & mosquitoes were everywhere...despite our planning the shoot for 8:30a in an attempt to avoid such complications. ugh. we are trying to work out another follow up shoot at our house where the pea might not be such a stinker. i was really upset after the session as i just felt like lil luc's spirit did not come out...but i think rebecca is talented enough that she did manage to capture the few times it did show through. hopefully we'll have more to come in a few weeks ;)

Very nice pictures of the fam.....I know better than to go to someone more professional than JC Penney right now, b/c Alivia just doesn't have the patience for pictures....Avery was always so good, but not Liv. I'm like you, I end up all stressed and upset b/c it didn't go well. Oh well, what are you going to do?
Those pictures turned out GREAT! I love them all. So cute!! Poor hadley has only had her picture taken professionally twice. And it wasn't a professional, professional..it was just picture people. I need to get on the ball!
