{For Mellow Yellow Challenge}

SO, Eli turned 3 a week ago. Eli is Kelsey’s middle child. Aww… I remember holding him a little teeny newborn… you know… before he was sneaky and up to no good. I only joke, he’s a great kid… he’s just the “King of Loopholes” as Kelsey says (she actually wrote a post about him on Saturday).

Well… this King is now 3. I have to let you know I’m SO proud of myself for getting these photos of him. Yes they are noisy and it’s a little dark… BUT: He is the sneakiest little booger and every time I pick up my camera… he suddenly disappears or turns his head… oye. BUT… for his birthday celebration (maybe even a little belated birthday gift to me ;D) he didn’t turn his head or hide! I even caught a couple of little smiley smirks from him. Yes! ::high fives all around::

Below is the squishiest baby ever! Chubby wubby. I love to squish her. Little baby Xamara. Daughter to my Roxana. By the way… the shot of Ruari is the only photo I managed to get of her that day. She was completely glued to me and wouldn’t even go a foot away. Oh well. 🙂

I had to take a break from most photo challenges… because I had many orders (yay!) that took priority. So, I think I have things in balance now… 🙂 (Well… maybe not my emails… if I haven’t responded to an email you’ve sent me yet… I’m a little behind. I hope to get to you soon! Sorry. :} )

Scavenger Hunt Sunday:

Time for bed.

I’m a poet don’t you know-it?! 🙂 Ok… this photo may not work for this… but, oh well! 😀
