Holy Shnaikies…2 Posts in 1 Day??!!

Ok. So I don’t know how you would actually spell Chris Farley’s word, but you get the drift.  Erica? Dawn?  Help me out!

I am inspired to post some not-so-fabulous pictures that I took of my girlies Wednesday night.  The light was atrocious, the borrowed camera was lame, and the baby was gassy…but I pressed on never-the-less, determined to get some photos of the grandgirls for my mom!  Alas, it was a bit more stressful than I had anticipated.  I had waited for a church night so that all of them would be dressed nicely with their hair done and, hopefully, rested from naps.  Well, they were rested and dressed, but it still was a chore to get them all to cooperate at the same time.  Melodee was in “picture mode” and it took forever for me to get her to give me a real smile; Kaitlyn, as usual, was in constant motion; and Sophie, poor girl, would have random moments of gas-induced-crying and her little face would contort in her discomfort.  I should have just stopped and waited for a Sunday morning or something, when they would look good but the chances of better behaviour (and less gas) would be much better.  But I didn’t.   So here are the most recent pics of my babies.
