Ella Bella

Here is my Ella Bella - in all her glory. We decided this morning to have some one-on-one time - we're trying to get some nice pictures of the kids. Sadly, while I thoroughly enjoy taking pictures of OTHER people's kids, my own are a SERIOUS pain in the rear! They don't look at me, they cry, they whine, they run the other way . . . they give me the silliest faces (note, I did not say FUNNY faces) . . . and even with bribery I am not able to accomplish my goal!

SO, after a frustrating hour with Ella, I managed to come away with a handful of "decent" pictures - but not what I wanted. I told Micah that I didn't have the energy (or patience!) to do his pictures . . . he didn't seem too sad about that! (Although he WAS worried that he wouldn't get his "gummies" - which were my tools of bribery that he knew he'd get during his "session"!)

ANYWAYS - while these pictures aren't what I was looking for SPECIFICALLY, I still think she's the most beautiful little girl EVER and I'd happily display these on my wall for the world to see! :)
