deep and inspiring visions- unrealized

I had deep and inspiring visions of taking a valentines picture of Annie in her favorite chair and sending cards out to everyone, but alas, now that Annie can walk, she absolutely will not hold still- especially when it comes to outside. No cards coming your way. So I got some photos of our car for sale instead and snapped our Annie who is now in constant motion. Squeak squeak squeak go her shoes as she takes off into the great outdoors. And you simply must be loving St. George weather right about now. Some 70 degree days this week and counting. We've had to bring out the sunscreen!


The chair stands alone. Annie-less no matter what I tried!


...and why would she sit for a photo when she could run instead?


I have to be pretty quick to get a shot of this little girl. It's been a good long time since I brought out my portrait lens and I'm sad I've been lax these past few months. I forgot how fun it is. Does all the work and takes the aperture to 1.8! Wish I knew what I was doing, but fun to try none-the-less. Renewed commitment to take more photos starting now.

Annie, 18.5 months


In recent news: We brought home Annie's Christmas present from my parents. That painting needs to be hung and the rug moved, but Annie likes looking at both of them while she plays house so there they remain. She loves to have tea parties with her pinkie up and requires real snacks and water in her dishes or she will opt out of the event. Funny girl. Eventually this kitchen will go down in the playhouse we will build in the basement.

Oh yes, they are hard to catch those walkers. 18 months-2yrs is the hardest time. Love that little chair though and the kitchen. Too sweet.

Her little black and white coat is killing me with cuteness. Also, her kitchen is so chic. Where the heck did your parents find that? I love it.

Oh gosh- she is so cute. Welcome to the land of kids who are everywhere but where you need them to be for a picture! Abbi now hides her face as soon as she sees the camera as she says "cheese!" Annie is adorable and I cannot WAIT to see what your next child will look like! So excited for you!
