Finally I can Share-Family Photos 2017

You would think by now I would have learned planning things just doesn't always work. I had hoped to have many blog posts this month since we are off for our normal Christmas break. Well, around about Thanksgiving weekend my computer died after 7 years. It was fine because everything was backed up. The problem was I still had to get a new computer and have spent many days recovering data from online back up. Finally though I am sharing our family photos from this year.

I did not get my butt in gear and actually pay a photographer this year so I took these. To be honest the color may be a little inconsistent. When I backed up photos my edits have not saved and I had not exported the fully edited ones of these yet. I am sure in the future I will laugh. I am really happy with how well they turned out though.

I was going to add all the outtakes because they were too funny. There are too many though. You can catch a few by several of the following. It is a tiny glimpse of how most of it went.

I made the girl's and mine dresses and wanted a nice picture of the girl's and I plus me with the kids. That didn't go so well, BUT at least they are authentic. Thankfully I got a nice one of Anthony and the kids. 

For the Love of Fall

Every year I take these photos. No matter how crazy or busy it is I take the kids photos in the leaves. This year I decided 4 days before I was going to do them, that I was joining in the photos and sewing all of them shirts and myself a cardigan. I had buffalo plaid for all of us.

The leaves were not as grand as they usually are. They began changing and then it got really hot and it messed with the process. Regardless it was still beautiful fall. The leaves all finally blew off last week or maybe the week before. I can't remember. I miss the color already.

I saved the best for last. This little girl kind of came out of her shell the week I took these. Instead of chasing down my camera like she and Daphne usually do or purposely ignoring me she decided to be the spot light. She also LOVES the leaves.

Another Fall is in the books for us. I will share more of our orchard photos soon!
