AM's Christmas Dress

IP Pix

You surely must know the cajoling and no-holds-barred antics I had to pursue to get all of this pix of IP. I can feel your cyber-admiration for my skills.

These are all down here in town at a park and a churchyard not far from the townsquare.

The [Unsolicited] Kiss

It started like any other staged photograph by our mom: us kids dressed in casual, but high-contrast clothes that lend themselves to color or b/w prints; staggered seating arrangement with a rustic background; golden late-afternoon sun to our side to promote warmer skin tones, generating feelings of warmth, camaraderie, etc, and then--no one could have predicted what my brother would do next...............

Oh, no! Not a kiss! What to do? What to do?

Aaaaaghh! Won't anybody help me?

I can't take much more!

The disgust is complete.

The Photo Shoot

Pictures from today and our little run to do a quick "photo shoot." "Where's IP?" you ask. At a sleepover. You snooze, you lose. (Actually, he's quite relieved he didn't have to go pose for me and the thousand shots I would take.)

JM in his new "Thomas the Tank Engine" jammies. (and Lightning McQueen is there, too.)

IP---although not at his most photogenic moment.....

Self portrait (in pj's, no less) with AM in my lap, slinking down.....

Having a little trouble with the age of all-things-digital

I'm really trying to figure out how to attach a stupid picture. This is far more complicated than I had been led to believe. Good grief, I know GED-recepients who have blogs and post pictures. I will beat the machine. If it ever attaches, it's supposed to be a picture of little

AM (ah!!!! it just attached! hallelujah! She can be taught!) by the X-mas tree. We took about 150 pictures or so the first day the camera came in. But, as you already know, it's sooooo wonderfully easy to just delete the ones you don't want, and presto! your photo sins are forgiven!

I've joined the digital age

I'm going to give this a try and see how it goes. Maybe this will be an easier way to share on-line pix with y'all.

Hopefully, this will be easy with the digital camera.

We'll see...........

Anyway, enjoy the pix.
