A Photo Shoot in My CAR...

...cuz where else are you gonna shoot, right?!? My oldest had soccer practice today and I brought my camera along cuz...well, you know. Anyway, the wind picked up and it was freezing so Me and the 2 youngest climbed into the car to wait. We had a whole hour to waste so what else was I to do?!? Can you tell that she's thrilled with me? I think I even got some decent backlit ones out of the bunch. What d'ya think!

and I wasn't gonna include this one cuz it's a bit soft, but.... All week I've had people telling me over and over how much little miss "b" looks JUST LIKE ME! I just don't see it. I have blonde hair and blue eyes, and lets face it... I'm just not that cute. But today, when I opened this pic to edit... I saw it. I saw a glimpse of me in her ( and no - I don't always have a blank look on my face) It's actually that I think that she looks like my oldest brother in this one. Yup, Christian, I'm talking about you!
