the battle of two strong-wills

A typical photo-session:

Me: "M, look at the camera!"



















"Okay, now show me your pretty smile!"




















"Whew! We finally got one." (Many exposures later)

egg hunt


The girls enjoyed participating an Easter party. M and A are "in" the basket pictured below with their friends.








sheer joy







Can you see it on her face? A LOVES bounce houses. The one at Sea World was deserted when we arrived one weekend morning, and she had it all to herself. She couldn't have been happier.










bubbles

M loves to blow bubbles. She actually sits still for quite a long time too! So, I used it as the perfect photo-opp.

It is surprisingly difficult to capture bubbles inside the frame. You'd be amazed at the number of bubble-less photos I took :)






sleep standing?




Ever heard of it? I hadn't until I checked on M last weekend after church. She had been putting up a major fuss about not taking her nap (even though she was exhausted.)


I was busy downstairs when I noticed that it had gotten unusually quiet upstairs. "Could it be that M actually fell asleep," I wondered? Yes, and never before in such an unusual position.



Later, when I asked how she had managed to fall asleep standing up she said, "Well, I was playing, and my head just kept getting heavier and heavier until I just couldn't stay awake."
