Long time fans of Jill and the keenly observant will note that she is wearing the same shirt as in Psyched Up (Not Out). That is because these pictures were taken moments apart. Another observation… Read More »Personal Photo Project of the Week No. 2

This concludes the Johnathan series. Hopefully we will get some indoor photos taken in the near future.
The best part of these pictures is that around the time we started on this set of pictures, Johnathan said, “Hey mom, you are standing on a snake.” Carla looked down. She was indeed standing a living, breathing snake. She slightly overreacted. Poor thing. At least it wasn’t hurt. >… Read More »Johnathan – Day 1 Part D
Some pictures from Johnathan’s Senior Pictures Day 1 photo shoot. I didn’t exactly select pictures that I thought were great Senior Pictures, but pictures that I liked. Day 1 was productive and I look forward to Day 2.

Perhaps even more than Bill fears nature. I was… Read More »Vacation Stuff – Two

Here is a look at the pictures that the committee had to choose from, but received no love. “Nobody likes me, everybody hates me, Guess I’ll go eat worms, Long, thin, slimy ones; Short, fat, juicy ones, Itsy, bitsy, fuzzy wuzzy worms.
