I LOVE My camera

It used to be that I would take pictures and think, "that's not what my children look like to me".
Finally with my new camera I feel like my pictures look like my children, and now you can see them the way I do.
So much to learn, so many settings and options, but I'm enjoying the practice. And I have gorgeous little models that make it fun.
Talin will always be my tender hearted, trustworthy boy. He plays well with Caleb, which is a difficult thing to do, and I can always hand him Monet and know she'll be entertained, read to and watched over.

And she seems to always be comfortable in his arms. When she was tiny and crying, and I was too busy to get to her right away, Talin would always go to her and walk around the house comforting her. What a boy.

Talking to dad on the speaker phone.

Caleb on the other hand has a more complex relationship with her. He loves her, but also likes to drag her across the tile floor, push her around, try to pick her up and throw toys at her head.

Needless to say I can't leave her unprotected, ever.

And then we have Collin.

This boy is hilarious.

And Monet thinks he's hilarious as well. When he does take the time to acknowledge her, she usually bursts into hysterical laughter at whatever it is he's doing, funny or not.

But that's about as far as the relationship goes. He never wants to hold her or be left in charge of her for a few minutes. He kind of gets a fearful look in his eyes when I ask him to watch his sister for a minute.
To each his own.
I might have Talin walking around the house spouting his impatience to be a father. But I'm equally grateful for Collin's enthusiasm to stay a kid for as long as possible.
