want to know what point and shoot to buy?

I get about 16 emails a day asking me what kind of point and shoot to buy. I truly appreciate those 16 people thinking Iโ€™m smart enough to know which one is the best. I donโ€™t know though because I donโ€™t have one, and unless Iโ€m buying frivolous cell phones or overpriced shoes for Miles,…

    You seriously get SIXTEEN emails a day asking what point and shoot to buy?? You know wayyy more people than I do! ๐Ÿ™‚

  • BetsyDecember 10, 2008 - 2:09 am

    Ok, perhaps I over exaggerate a bit. ๐Ÿ˜‰ BTW, Erin, you were one of the numerous people emailing me what kind of P&S to buy a few days ago silly! ;-D

  • erinDecember 10, 2008 - 3:31 am

    yep, I remember. (hence my comment!) I just had no idea there were 15 others!!! ๐Ÿ™‚

  • DoodleBunz/DB ImpressionsDecember 8, 2008 - 7:02 pm

    WOW Betsy, I have no idea how you’re going to choose just a few prints, I think I’d “need” almost every one of the ones that she featured on canvas!!! The one of you and John alone is terrific too….how often do you get just a tiny quiet moment together like that?!??! AWESOME!

  • SaraDecember 8, 2008 - 7:40 pm

    OMG Betsy! Those pictures are amazing and I totally saw the TW comment too, another one of my favorites! You all are gorgeous! ps love that sweater, super cute!

    Looks like such a fun shoot! Lots of great images!

ever get the feeling your being watched?

Yep, those pugs are always watching Miles and they donโ€™t even quarrel over the pieces of food that Miles throws from his high chair. Just thought you might think our pugs are as cute as we think they are. Even not in focus. Since the last post with Miles crying broke everybodyโ€™s hearts, hereโ€™s my…

    I love how he sticks them on his fingers. I am going to have to try that.

  • KateDecember 8, 2008 - 4:45 pm

    Sooo cute! LOVE the shot where your pugs are watching!!! Too funny!

  • Jessica ParkisonDecember 8, 2008 - 7:34 pm

    These are so cute! Does closing up mean no more blogging until after the holidays? Hope not!

  • MayaDecember 8, 2008 - 9:09 pm

    At least your dogs can’t reach his high chair! Truman’s mouth is at the right height!

  • AbiQDecember 9, 2008 - 3:06 am

    What a beautiful beautiful baby! And omg! Those dogs are just like my two hoodlums! They sit and watch hoping for a scrap. A crumb. Anything! I’m guessing your get much better look with a little guy! ๐Ÿ˜‰

the terror of christmas strikes again

Well, we have joined the ranks of parents who take their child to see Santa, only to traumatize them and take photos the whole time. I think actual time on Santaโ€™s lap was about .5 seconds before he went for the safety of dadโ€™s arms. Donโ€™t worry, within minutes he was fine and talking to… Related Posts Plugin for WordPress, Blogger...

    Ha! That picture is priceless! I want to take Evan again this year to see Santa, but Jason is thinking he’ll do the same thing as Miles. We’ll see… Miss ya!

  • Sherry SmithDecember 7, 2008 - 12:32 pm

    what fun!!!That is a look I have not seen….He look’s horrified. He’s still the cutest kid ever. take him again and see what happens////Mamma

  • robinDecember 7, 2008 - 1:34 pm

    Yeah, I sympathize with Miles there. Love the shot!!

  • AprilDecember 7, 2008 - 1:53 pm

    That has got to be the most priceless photo! Makes me nervous to take my 14 month old son to see Santa, but we are going to do it anyway!

    Merry Christmas from our family to yours.

  • AmandaDecember 7, 2008 - 2:17 pm

    That is so precious! Glad to hear he isn’t holding it against the jolly ol’ man though. ๐Ÿ˜‰ Hehehe.

  • NatDecember 7, 2008 - 3:54 pm

    Repeated visits, year after year is the trick. Ellie was almost 3 last Christmas and it took four visits last year before she wouldn’t cry. This year, we had to pry her off Santa’s lap! He’ll be fine with Santa in time.

    Priceless pic ๐Ÿ™‚

  • JessicaDecember 7, 2008 - 5:20 pm

    Welcome to the “scared of Santa” club. Last year Olivia was terrified. I am anxious to see how she reacts this year. She says she wants to sit on his lap, but I have a hard time believing that is true. I think that every parent has to have the baby crying on Santa’s lap picture. Tell Miles he is not alone! ๐Ÿ™‚

  • Kate "Phenomenal" MartinDecember 7, 2008 - 11:27 pm

    That is the skinniest Santa I have ever seen. Miles was just upset because he knew the bean pole was an imposter. ๐Ÿ™‚

  • bobbiDecember 8, 2008 - 4:18 pm

    I love everything about this photo.

    John smiling. Miles SCREAMING. Santa disappointed.

    It’s the perfect story-teller.

    Miss you guys ๐Ÿ™

  • MayaDecember 8, 2008 - 9:07 pm

    Santa looks so upset! Poor Santa. He can be one scary guy…poor Miles. ๐Ÿ™‚

  • BrandyDecember 13, 2008 - 6:46 am

    Oh gosh, this is hilarious! My little one had a similar reaction, but I didn’t get a photo!

  • HeatherDecember 23, 2008 - 5:22 pm

    Oh my gosh…I love this picture with all of my heart. This should have been a christmas card! BRAVO!
