Family Matters

Having the whole family here has been so fun and familiar... and exhausting.
I am not used to staying up that late chatting and laughing till I cry, literally rolling on the ground laughing/crying.

It is so funny that people find it so strange that my parents are divorced and get along so well.
For us that is "normal".
I have seen loads of dysfunctional family behavior and people see our family and think we are the ones that are not normal for always getting along.
We really actually always get along.  Every one of us, all the time.  
Even Daddys sisters, brothers, nieces and nephews get on with Mummy and her family and vice versa.

I think its's cool.  I love it actually.

My family knows me as the "bossy" one.  So they should have known I had some plan in mind for them.
Something that they were going to be really sweet and go along with whatever I want nodding and smiling through it all.  They are happy they did!

We had so much fun doing this together.

This is the moment we have both been waiting for for years! It was perfection. Nothing short of magical. We had quite a bit of time after getting ready, there were so many emotions, so happy I laughed, so happy I cried. I love these photos and am so happy that every moment was captured.  Can't wait to see the professional ones!                                 Waiting for the go ahead                                         It's time!!                              Everyone ready t...

No Rest For The Weary

Yesterday was sweet and sad, and maybe a bit boring. Amalia woke up with a fever and insisted on sleeping right on top of me on and off all day. Even though she was sick, and I did feel a bit cruel and selfish, I pulled out my camera and got to clicking. I simply won't give her a break! But it was worth it.   Look how sweet and peaceful she looked only an hour before she threw up on me. She is the prettiest little girl and oh so sweet.   I love photographing her. She still has a bit of a temperature today so it seems I am back on "pamper the baby even more than normal" duty. My job is to lay on the couch and be her bed, her comfort, and anything else she may need. And today I will give her a break from her modeling duties. I have the best job in the world. I love my kids.

Long Awaited

Ethan has had the typical "little brother" problems. A huge one being that he has been going to all Kaidens scouting activities for 2 years and couldn't participate. Being the observer of your bigger brother having fun... not so much fun. Then we had the move to Dubai, so what should've been his first year, wasn't. He was so excited and was all smiles at his very first scouting event where he could participate! I can't get over how cute and official he looked in his uniform. He took every belt loop he earned extremely seriously. It's also weird to see Kaiden in his webelo uniform, I always saw it as for the "bigger boys". I guess my little Kaiden is one of the big boys now.
