I know its been forever!

Oh, jeez! So much has happened in the past month... and I have failed to write about any of it! Because of my lack of time to blog. this will be a super-blog..... if you will.

First I'll start with (of course) some of my favorite shots lately. Some went in to a book I made for Rene for Christmas.

Cousin girls!

Actually, I can't remember if these are already on here... oh well... I like it. There was a swarm or birds outside my front door last month. They were flying all crazy in circles. Such a sight.

Rene has written several songs for Fi... and she really pays attention.
She is destined to be a musician...

A beautiful photo of Charlie at our house. Cozying with Annie, the rabbit.

This is the photo we gave Rene's parents for Christmas. Its the only one where the babies' faces are kind-of in focus. Nearly impossible!

Fi has been modeling with veteran Charlie for the catalog where Jen and I work. Its so fun to see Fi workin her stuff for the camera. Like she's not used to it from me.... totally obsessed.

Bailee came over to hang and took this sweet one before Fi went to bed.. during our nightly read.

So, I took this photo a long time ago.. and when Dave let me hang 11 photos in his coffee shop Rene's mother bought it from me. Both Rene's parents have been asking for duplicates of Fi and I to hang with it... so for Christmas we gave these to them. I tried to match our expressions.. and the photo quality. Oh, and the frame. They liked them.

Fi and I went to Florida to visit my Dad, sister and brother. It was a great visit.. and Rachael cried when she saw Fi. We met at La Terisita... a restaurant Dad has been taking us to since I was a baby. I have to say it was a very poignant meeting place. Rachael saw Fi and held her and it was unbelievable. She loves her so much and it makes my heart explode! Rachael also told me that she reads this blog.... so people are visiting! Here's a shout-out to you, my super-fantastic sitter! Rachael's boyfriend, David was there as well... and he proved to be Fi's entertainment throughout the meal. Totally awesome dude. He's a ballroom dancer in the same show that Rachael swims in. Its called LaReve, and its in the Wynn hotel in Las Vegas. Unbelievable. Go see it. Anyway..... here are a few shots of the trip.

Oh gosh... I just realized how long this thing is really going to be. I totally understand if you have to come back to this later.
Rene' got me a camera for Christmas. He is just fuling the fire! But her knew that was the one thing I truly wanted. A fuji S1000. Such a sweet hunzo. These are taken with it... of Christmas. Fi's first baby doll. She loves my old little baby so much that my mom got her one of her own. She also got baby Harper a baby (who looks EXACTLY like her!) and she loved it! Fi also got some blocks, which Rene promptly buried her with. My mom brought over like, a thousand bears. So, Rene threw those at her too. She thought it was hilarious. When we went to Rona and Mikes for Christmas they sprung some news at us....... they getting HITCHED! OMG... we couldn't be happier. This is like, the greatest news ever. Mike is super..... and we get to keep him! Harper and Fi actually noticed and recognized eachother during our visit. Here is film documentation of it. Cause it needed to be documented... it was so sweet.
