Orr Photos...by me

Miss Fabulous and I spent Saturday morning with the Orr Family at the beach so MF could play and I could take some family pictures for the Orrs. I ended up taking over 300 pictures and surprisingly got several "nice" shots. These are not those...well, most of them aren't, but I love them! Maybe because these pictures are an example how most families and people are. Not so much posed, but on the move! There was a point where it seemed like all the kids were crying and I couldn't help but laugh (sorry Heather!). I'm not sure why it was so funny. Anyhow, I had a great time and only wish I had had a second battery on hand so I could have taken a few more pictures!
I felt like they should just explore and I'd just move around them and take pictures...Heather says she likes this shot because it just shows how the family is.
This is actually my favorite picture of Heather and Daniel with baby Madelyn. I just loved that the sailboat floated right in at the perfect time too!
Nathanael did NOT want to stay for any of the pictures. He just wanted to play with the sand toys! Who could blame him?
Yep, that's Miss Fabulous in there. I felt like half the time I was trying to keep MF out of the shots. Its my own fault for taking so many pictures of her all the time!
This one would have been cute if it wasn't so blurry. Still working out the kinks in this camera.
The kids were getting frustrated with being posed so I had them make faces and be silly.
Poor Hayden was having a hard day, but even with her little "attitude" stance...and maybe because of it...I love this picture. The light seems right, her hair catching the breeze a little, and for some reason you can just see a little glimpse of the teen-ager she may become...hehehe. Also reminds me a little of MF. Anyhow. If you want to see some of the "nice" pictures, check out Heather's post on how the day went!

The more kids in a family the harder it is to get everyone looking at the camera and looking nice. We use a timer to get our family shots and have to bribe the boys with some kind of treat for a certain number of pics, or for taking the pics until we get a decent one.
We jsut bought a remote for our camera so now we don't have to pause between pictures to set the timer again.

The List

This is an incomplete list of the things I'm trying to do before December 15. I know I'm missing a few things but you get the idea. I wish I had more time, but at the same time, I know I would just waste it and end up doing everything at the last minute anyway. So here's at least a partial list of things I need to do or make: 1. matching pajama pants for my girls and their cousins. 2. 4 more bags and 2 more purses. 3. smallish blankets and pillows for my girls' baby dolls and/or stuffed animals. 4. turn 2 sweaters into Christmas dresses for my girls 5. Christmas shop for John 6. gifts/goodies for neighbors and friends 7. decorate for Christmas 8. 2 tutus 9. Christmas cards? or wait until after the baby is born and send an update with an announcement? 10. finish getting the girls' room in order and looking cute 11. organize the basement and purge the STUFF #10 doesn't necessarily have to be done before the 15 th but I'd like to just get it DONE already. ...

I've been told I need to update the blog so here are several pictures of little Star. She is now just over 11 lbs. and just shy of 23" long. She is just a bit big. Miss Fabulous was nearly 4 months old before she got as big as our Star! She is fun and really cuddly. She really loves to eat (thus the big size!) and sleep but seems to be wanting to be on the move. John has dubbed her "Scooter" because she is never where we put her. She rolled over from her back to her tummy the other day! Still not great at night...sometime she just wants to be awake, but last night she slept 7 hours straight and I'm hoping its the beginning of a trend! Miss Fabulous just LOVES her little sister and is always trying to help. MF is doing a little better in school with a lot of help from her teacher and some from us at home. We are starting her in a program at school where they help children deal with transition, which seems to be the biggest part of her problem. The progr...

In case you're like my mom, who can "never see anything in these pictures", it is baby #2 due at the beginning of August. Hopefully we get to keep this one...all signs say yes. Please keep us in your prayers!
