A Challenge: Trying to Take a Nice Picture...

...and by nice, I simply mean a picture with both faces. :)

By no stretch of the imagination are we good photographers, but we are trying. Now that we have two children to hopefully capture sweet faces, nice smiles, expressive glances, we have discovered that our children...move...alot. We have also discovered a delay in our camera, which makes picture-taking challenging. This also explains why 97% of our blog photos are blurry.

The good news: we're trying!

Soooo, here are some attempts from both Wes and I (won't say which of us took which pics) to get a nice face picture of our boys.

Oh, and if you have the time, send me a comment on your favorite one.
I'd love to know.
Just, you know... to know. :)

Happy Mothers Day

A mothers love determines how

We love ourselves and others.

There is no sky we'll ever see

Not lit by that first love.

to my wonderful mother. Thank you mom, for all that you do for me. I love you!

Things I Forgot About Newborns...

1. every diaper change has a poop!

2. the size of their diapers = tiny!

3. how many times they wake up at night (last night I lost count after 3!)

4. their squinty little faces (that could be the result from a. gas, b. needing to burp, c. the options are endless

5. their hands are tee-niny!

6. i'm not so nice a person w/out sleep :(

7. they like to hold their arms and legs very close - and that can make diaper changing somewhat challenging.

8. the black stuff in their diapers the first few days - (and for the record the most difficult diapers to change!)

9. that MANY noises they make during sleep (from which I find myself checking the monitor to make sure nothings wrong and only to find, nothings wrong - just a noise)

10. how much they like to eat!

Some of What We've Been Up To...
