The Attempt

I have been eyeing fields with bright yellow wildflowers since spring came. I finally found the (almost) perfect field. Early in the day, Charlotte agreed to come out to take some pictures, but by the time the evening light was good she was a little tried and cranky. We tried anyway and she really was a trooper. She was cold, she had to go potty, plus she is never all that thrilled with me photographing her. We got these that I like and some others I havent' edited yet.




The little one was the big ham of the evening. You know, many days she wants nothing to do with me. She loves Derek and I think she struggles a bit with the whole pregnancy thing. She loves to play rough and be chased and be carried alot, none of which I do very well. But suddenly when she realized that Charlotte and I were going somewhere and she wasn't really included, she was my very best friend. Derek brought her out to the field after we had been shooting for awhile and she called and called to me "Mommy! Mommy! I found you! I found you!" When I gave Charlotte a break and Derek took her back to the car to get out of the wind, Grace ran around and laughed and hammed it up for me. These two I like alot.




Both girls are into wearing dresses these days. They show off the height difference alot. I pretty much buy the same size clothes for them these days because they are about the same size around the waist, which seems to be the important thing for small child clothes fitting. The dresses come to Charlotte's knees or a little below. They go all the way down almost to Grace's ankles. She is actually very cute running around in them.
