Busy As Usual!

So life seems to be going faster and faster and I've been noticing that with all the crazy stuff we've had going on the last few years (moving several times, house-building, babies, etc.) I've really gotten out of the habit of taking pictures. I'm not just talking professional pictures, but regular everyday pictues as well. So, thanks to the world of blogs, I am now not only aware of my ineptness, but am resolved to do better in my own little realm of photography (however amateur and uncreative it may be)! Hope you all enjoy some everyday shots of the fam!
This is how Karalie likes to fall asleep for her afternoon nap! She chooses a book, I read it to her while she sits in her bed. Then she gets to keep it and read it until she falls asleep. It's worked really well until she decided she wanted to start playing in her poop at naptime....ICKY!
Here is Camilla crying because I wouldn't pick her up. She's been going through a stage where she's decided she no longer wants to take naps! Tough for her and Mommy! She'd get to the point where she'd be so tired that she wanted me to hold her all the time. If I put her down, this is what she would do. Thankfully we've reached a compromise. I put her in her carseat at naptime so she can still see everyone, and she goes to sleep!
This is the girls' favorite place to come in the morning!
Unfortunately, it's not big enough for them and us. So Ben and I usually get up and go about getting ready for the day while they lounge around in their pj's and play. Talk about living in the lap of luxury!

Corrine, This is your old roommate Heidi (From Aspen village). Nancy and I are trying to find you. If you read this please e-mail me at heidi@dracosoft.com. Hope to hear from you soon!

They are so cute! I remember those poopy messy days with Jayden. Ugh, not fun times! We finally started duct taping her diapers so she couldn't rip them off and it became much easier. We automatically started doing that with Ryleigh the first sign that she wanted to take off her diaper. We haven't had any big problems, thank goodness. We'll have to set up a time for me to take some pictures for you. It might have to wait a bit because this weekend I'm doing a maternity shoot and next week I've got a family shoot and I'm still trying to get Carina's pics done. I'm working quickly, though, so hopefully it won't take too long.

So adorable! Sammy went through a phase kinda while we were gone and when we got back where he would bang his head on the floor if he wanted to throw a fit! You gotta love these kids with so much personality!

Children make life FULL of adventure! You have some of the sweetest children Corinne, and I'm glad you found out how to get Camilla to take a nap... I would go crazy if my little one didn't take a nap! You are awesome Corinne and you amaze me all the time.
