Not to toot my own horn, but I have beautiful children :-)
We went down to Olan Mills (which oddly enough are primarily in K-Marts all over Phoenix??) today and had the CUTEST pictures taken of the girls. OMG I am so glad I decided to get their pics taken professionally. They have the best backgrounds and great posing ideas and special effects. We opted for this flower background and it turned out just adorable.
When we had the babies the hospital gave us all this stuff, I got like 4 diaper bags full of formula and coupons and stuff. One of the coupons included a free 'new baby' portrait sitting at Olan Mills. There were no strings attached or anything--just free pics. So I decided to go ahead and get those, and then I knew I would probably end up buying more of some different poses and stuff. Which I am sure is what they are hoping for in offering the free pics.
We went kind of crazy, we got over 60 pictures! haha. A great deal though-truly. I got to see all the proofs today and pick out exactly what I wanted but we don't get the actual pictures until the 26th of this month. I am so excited!!
The pictures were seriously adorable. I couldn't believe how cute they came out. The babies were really squirmy though--they kept putting their fingers in their mouths and they kept like sinking down into the bean bag they were on. The photographer was pretty good though, it was obvious she had done lots of baby pics.
We will be sending out lots of pics to our family. We also got the CD with the copy right released and all the pics, so I am going to send some of those to my Dad who does a lot of photography and has this amazing printer that can print out huge copies.
Last night Chris took tons of pictures with his camera too and we got some really good ones. My girls are very photogenic :-)
I can't wait to get them. I got some of those like announcement mailers to send to the family too. I can't wait to send them out to people because they are just adorable. ADORABLE!
On a sadder note, Chris' mom leaves tomorrow morning. What a God-send she has been. I am very thankful she was able to come and stay for as long as she did. The timing really worked out too. Tomorrow life officially goes back to 'normal' with no help. I've got to buck up and take care of 4 children now. Which to be honest will be difficult but doable. We shall see.
Regardless I am completely and utterly in love and I only look forward to what life has to bring.
Blessings to all :-)
