I want to try and keep up with posting photos here on my blog. I'm not doing a 365 this year, but thought I might as well keep up with blogging. This photo is from a few days ago. We started the day with music class (both girls), then off to tumbling for Kenzie. Afterwards, Aubrey had her 15 month check up, which included some shots. She didn't like the shots at all, but once she calmed down, she was a pretty happy camper the rest of the day. It was a busy day with lots of running around, but it's been a quiet evening for the most part, so I'm catching up on photo editing and blogging.

While Kenzie was at school, I had the gate closed so Aubrey could play upstairs while I was assembling the drawer units for our new bed in the hallway. I had gone downstairs for something and came back to find her in the office just sitting in the rocking chair reading a book. It was pretty cute.

Aubrey wasn't sure what to make of it, but Kenzie had fun playing in the snow.

yogurt face

Aubrey enjoys feeding herself, but she also tends to make a huge mess. This was before she got yogurt all over the table, her clothes, the floor, and the surrounding furniture.

dreamy diana+ camera lens

This year I am going to try and take more photos with my real camera, and not just the iPhone camera. I'm also going to try to remember to use more lenses, and not just my 50mm...though it is the one I use the most often.

shot using the hipstamatic disposables app on my phone. I took this sometime around the end of december.

taken a few days ago. she looked cute playing with the dollhouse, and it was such a rare thing for her to be able to do so without Kenzie coming in and pushing her out of the way.

I'm not doing a 365 for 2012, but I thought I would still continue to post occasional photos to my blog. Here is the first I'm posting for 2012.

Not much snow, but Kenzie was pretty excited to go out and play in it.

362/365:2 /// Happy New Year!
Happy New Year!
--
Well, I tried to take a couple of photos last night to mark the end of the year. Trying to pose with two squirmy kids wasn't working out. I was hoping using Incredibooth would keep Kenzie looking at the camera on my phone, but she didn't seem to care. Anyway, these were the best couple shots I managed to take.
I think I'm officially ending my 365 a few days early. I wish I didn't miss the few days that I did over the year. I think doing a 365 two years in a row (and with a new baby) was a pretty good challenge. Some days I definitely just called it in, but for the most part I liked what I put up. Even if they were just phone shots or photos of the kids.
Anyway, Happy New Year everybody! I'll still be posting on flickr, but I'm not doing a 365 again. I'll consider a 52 weeks project or maybe I'll just do some other photo projects throughout the year. Maybe I'll even get back into doing Blythe photography again. I do miss it.

lincoln park zoo

we took advantage of the nice weather and walked around the zoo for a little bit with the kids. it was a much better experience than the night we went to try and see Santa.

Skills assessments were last night to see if I passed to get to DL:O. I don't want to jinx it, but I thought I did pretty well. I gave it my all, and did my best. Now I just have to wait and see what my critique says.

I have more photos that I took earlier today, but I'll probably get those uploaded after the holiday.
This was taken on our chaotic drive out to the in-laws for Christmas Eve dinner.

Incredibooth holiday fun / gnome
--
I like gnomes, so this is pretty much perfect for me.
I cannot believe Christmas is *technically* tomorrow. (it's late as I type this, after midnight). It really has not felt like the holiday season. We've had warm weather for this time of year, and as much as I dislike snow, I sort of wish we would get a little this weekend. Christmas doesn't feel like Christmas without a little bit of snow around here.

I forgot to take any photos yesterday, but before it was too late I did snap this.
I found out earlier in the day that a girl I worked with at my last job passed away after losing her battle with cancer. She was only 36 years old and has a little boy who turns 2 in January. I hadn't seen her in a very long time, and I knew she was sick, but it really took me by surprise. I just feel terrible for her family. Losing someone is hard no matter what time of year, but I think around the holidays is even harder.

So you might notice there is only one child in this photo. ONE child. You may remember that I have TWO. Kenzie was excited all day long about going to the zoo and to see Santa. She wouldn't nap, which was problem #1. Then she fell asleep in the car, which was problem #2. We only brought the small stroller to push Aubrey, since Kenzie always wants to walk when we are at the zoo, which ended up being problem #3.
It all started as soon as Kenzie got out of the car and saw that Aubrey was in the stroller. John ended up carrying Kenzie, and everytime he put her down...waterworks. ugh...so we went to the lion house to see Santa. You'd think she would have been excited. Nope, she was crabby, crabby, crabby while we stood in line. I decided to let Aubrey out of the stroller, and Kenzie immediately sat in it. By the time we got to the front to see Santa she would not budge and was having a tantrum about getting out of the stroller to see Santa. I think everyone thought she was scared of Santa, but I don't think that was it at all. There was nothing we could do to get her to go sit on Santa's lap, so we just put Aubrey there with him. I thought for sure Aubrey was going to be the one who freaked out, but she was just fine. So I have a photo of ONE of my children with Santa.
Needless to say we were pretty disappointed with the outcome and didn't really feel in the mood to walk much more around the zoo. Kenzie was super crabby, so we just walked around the entrance area and left. Maybe next year will be better.
