Playing in the Rain

Today we had a very brief but incredible rain and thunder storm. Cecelia and I were sitting in the living room watching it and decided to get boots on to go out and play. By the time we did, it was done. But that didn't stop her from find ways to get wet and dirty. She had a blast for just those few minutes we spent outside, and I had a great time watching her.

Mermaid Victoria

I have a sister who is a mermaid - Mermaid Victoria. She is one of the most creatively talented people I know, and this is one place it's led her. She made the tail she's wearing - along with three or four others - and she wears it. Along with looking beyond stunning, she can swim in this thing. It's really incredible to watch, and I wish I could have gotten those pictures too.
Shooting these pictures was really really fun for me. I'm used to shooting pictures of Cecelia and it's a really a gamble to get a good shot of her. Victoria is a pro at this, and so I could really just concentrate on my camera and learning it's little tweaks and tricks. Editing these photos was also fun because they're just a completely different style than the  ones I'm used to with Cecelia. I'm really excited about the way these turned out!

Sledding with the Girls

On Saturday the Bennetts came over and cooked us the most delicious pizzas for lunch. They used humus as the sauce, and has fried veggies and chicken breast. I seriously have been craving them since then.
Then we took our girls out tobogganing for each of their first times and it was a hoot. Neither of them were particularly excited about it, and I think they started to get a little too cold to even enjoy it, but they sure were cute. Snowsuits make kids look so huggable. I just couldn't get over it.
