Mother's Day Portraits

We had some portraits of the children done for Mother's Day and I think they turned out GREAT! I had this one taken of Emma Claire because I know any day now those pretty baby teeth are coming out - and it's never the same after that!!!!


The next picture is a gold mine. There is NOTHING fun about taking small children in for pictures. NOTHING. To make matters worse, Henderson was TERRIFIED of the backdrop that came down from the ceiling - TERRIFIED!!!!!! We managed to trick him into smiling by acting the fool behind the camera and playing ball with him. But he wasn't to be tricked for long - he was HYSTERICAL - we didn't get any more pictures of him after this shot. He wouldn't even let me hold him and take a picture. But thank goodness for the ONE!!! I think it turned out darling!!!!


If you follow Abby's blog, you'll notice that Henderson (my youngest) and Mary Aplin (Abby's youngest) share a striking resemblance - they could be twins!!!!! If you don't follow Abby's blog, you should - it is an amazing portrayal of a woman of great faith, raising 2 beautiful daughters,
being the wife of a busy orthopaedic intern, being a wonderful sister, friend, daughter and
daughter-in-law and very soon moving all the way to Seattle!!!! Abby is a phenomenal writer!!! She will bring you to happy and sad tears all at once and she can paint a picture with words like I have never seen!!!! She and I grew up in Dothan together, along with her husband Jeremiah. They are both AMAZING people with indescribable gifts!!!!

Oh wow Kellie! That was incredibly sweet! Thanks so much for your words and the shout out :) Do you think if Mary Aplin and Henderson got married they would just have babies that look exactly like them?? I mean it is sort of eery how similar they are!
