I know politics is an inflammatory topic so I'll stay out of it here. But one thing I can say with the utmost certainty, regardless of whether or not I agree with you on the issues at hand, I want your voice to be heard.

The smile...the one I never get with the camera around. He was having too much fun playing in the water with Dad.

Summer.
Do you remmeber your childhood summers? Running about all day swinging, playing in the sprinkler, eating popsicles, not caring whether or not your hair has been combed? I promise, we comb it but this was taken at nearly 8 pm, it had been a while :)

The bean, take two.
Look! Another self portrait. At this point those two patient, handsome, wonderful men are in fact in the background asking how many pictures I actually need of the bean.
The second patient, handsome, wonderful man is actually my BIL. My SIL at this point was in the hotel, sick. She's pregnant and has all day sickness, poor thing, she's got it twice as bad because she's having TWINS!

Chicago
I think I love Chicago.
I think I'm going to move to Chicago.
I think my husband is going to take issue with my move to Chicago ;)
This actually classifies as a self portrait. See, there I am standing next to those two very patient, handsome, wonderful men, one of which will take issue with my upcoming move. You would actually be able to see me had I taken care to leave some detail in the shadows.
Sorry about the bean being so dirty, I was fresh out of Windex that day.

I admit sometimes our house revolves around sunrise and sunset. This was one of those days and we didn't have time to dress her! I was too busy grabbing equipment to head to the outlaws house for sunset. So, excuse our only a diaper clad subject. This is more off camera flash practice. Not perfect but getting better :)
Oh, yeah...can we pretend that I cloned out the light pole and power lines? Good :)

Oh wait, I can get another angle of him, lol. This was off camera flash practice. I know probably doesn't look hard. It's not rocket science, but it's more than just clicking the shutter :) While practicing, beggars can't be choosers so excuse the content :)

The Map...or so he calls it. It is actually instructions for turning a transformer into a car/truck from a robot. I'm sure the conversation was going a little like this:
C: "yeah, and grandma, you just turn this around, put it here, and then you take this other thing and clip it there, and........
I think anyone around him knows it's not quite so easy!

ROOOOAAAAAAR! This is what dinosaurs looked/sounded like. If they wore heart sunglasses and ate blue suckers while posing for Mommy for studio shots :)

This makes my heart burst
I also giggle a little too. On the days when the boy goes to school, Dad gets him up and they try not to wake me up. On days they succeed, I roll over first thing to this:
Duckie, tucked in tightly so he may snooze with me until his boy gets home. NO, I don't sleep until noon...promise ;)
