Mommy and Me Photos

Thanks to my remote shutter release, I was able to set up and shoot this session all on my own!

With a little bit of editing magic, I was able to put together a fairly successful shoot. 

I got about 20 decent pictures in the end.

And I only took 312! 

(Partly thanks to Jack who got to hold the shutter release button during his session, so it got pressed quit a few more times (each press produces 5 pictures) than I would have :)

 

September... my how time flys!

September. Where did it go? As fast as it got here, it disappeared even faster!

I have spent the month fluttering about house and home trying to get things pulled together as much as possible prior to my returning to work. As much as I'm looking forward to adult interaction, it rips my heart out to have to leave my babies again. At least they will be together. 

Here are a few candids from the month!

 Trying to get some good pics on the nice camera. Not a very successful day...

 2 month QUICK photo session

 Big brother wanted to be like little sis. At least it kept him stationary so he wasn't under foot while I tried to make dinner.

Gotta get him outta the house to play and work off energy!!!

They have Big Brother, Little Sister shirts. 

I wanted a picture. 

Jack did not. 

This is the best I could muster.

Jack and Mama had a date at home.

We had hot chocolate and cookies.

And then I had a little something stronger to soothe my sore throat I had thanks to Jack sharing his cold with me. 

Spying on the neighbors. 

Going to soak up as much life as possible during my last week of maternity leave.

It goes by WAY to fast.
