Big Girl Bath

Tonight Leia took a bath in the big tub like a big girl!

 

I had to watch her like a hawk. She crawled around and even stood up.

 

She loved playing with Landon's toys.

The Amazing Jim

Some days I like to think that I am creative. But, when I think about all of the creative and amazing things my dad has built and created I realize I pale in comparison. Any creativity that I did inheirit came from him and his father!

My dad enjoys building model cars. Not your ordinary take the parts out of the box, build per instructions and place on a shelf.  NOOOOO!!! Where is the fun and creativity in that?!  Here are a few of the models/diaramas that my dad has built....  (note: these are pre 2009 so I'm sure he has done some cool stuff since then)

Some of his models have won awards and been featured in magazines. So of course these awesome creations can not be composed in an ordinary room!!

He built a Nautilus Submarine Room!!! Here is a video for a full tour...

AMAZING! right?! He built it all! Standing in it is crazy! It is so life like! He even painted the floor!!  My dad has built and dreamed up some crazy stuff but this is breathe taking! I can't believe it!  When and if I ever find pictures or videos of the other amazing things my dad has done I will sure to post them too.

Priceless or Ridiculous?

At what price does professional photography become ridiculous?

I've been on the hunt lately for a GOOD photographer to take newborn pictures of Adele. Who is coming VERY SOON!

I want pictures like these.....!
(warning! SUPER cute baby pics ahead!)

But I don't want to pay a fortune for them!

A couple places I found cost close to or more than my wedding photographer!

So, at what price do newborn pictures become not worth it?!

A bit of randomness...

Ever feel like there is never enough time in the day/week/month/year?! 

Each day (sometimes week) I make a list of things I would like to get done.  This list NEVER gets compelted, EVER.  Work or home there always seems to be more to do than time to do it in. My theory at work is "There is always tomorrow".  But at home that theory is not comforting. What doesn't get done today just seems to build on the next day's To Do list.

**Sigh**

All we can do is the best we can...
