What I Did This Weekend
(Which is why I had to push so hard late last week, so I’d be ready to drop it all and go…) “Date night for couples: French Bistro.” We were in charge of preparing (most of) the salads. And we learned a lot about how to get a steak to cook properly (hint: hot pan!).…

Read MoreHelp Us Choose Michael’s Six-Month Portraits!
Let’s talk kids’ portraits today, because after yesterday we need a change of focus. Right? Show of hands: do you love or loathe going to get your kids’ pictures taken? I loved it for a while, but the process got frustrating–policies and procedures in those department store studios are a pain in the neck, and…
Read MoreSpring Makes Me Happy
The smells, fruity and heavy and spicy, and the colors–oh, the colors after the rains have passed through, when everything seems sharper, like the difference between an old point-and-shoot and a brand new DSLR. * * And my favorite blossom of all:

So now we’re profligate with our picture-taking, knowing we can delete whatever isn’t worth keeping. Except we don’t. At least, I don’t. I can’t bear to part with them. For instance: Last night I set out to…
Read MoreA Test For My Readers
So here’s the test, to see if my boys really do all look alike, or if they can be distinguished in their baby pictures. Are you ready? Leave me a comment and tell me which one you think is Alex, which one is Nicholas, and which one is Michael. And tomorrow I’ll leave you the answers.…
Read MoreA Visit to Hannibal
After yesterday’s manifesto, I think I owe you something light and fluffy. Like pictures of a family trip. We’re really not in the “family vacation” age range. The idea of forking over a bazillion dollars to go someplace and be stressed out and miss nap times and have two of the kids not remember one…
