Picture Anxiety

Managing the pictures I take as become a big burden for me. There is so much I want to do with them that it takes a lot of time and effort. I want to email them to friends and family, put them on my blog, put them on Facebook, and print hard copies for traditional photo albums. It's too much and I don't know what to cut out. I always feel behind.

Not all of my family is on Facebook, so I still want to email them (and I email more than I would put on Facebook or my blog.) The blog lets me put in some back story on the photos. Facebook allows all of the friends I don't normally talk to to see them. I want to print them because there is nothing more fun than flipping through an album years later, especially for Elise.

It seems like this is just too much and I should be playing with Elise instead of doing all this. Something has to go......I just don't know what.

Very First Steps!

I actually got her very first steps on "tape!" You can only see her from the chest up, but you can tell she's walking. The camera pans off because I'm in a bit of shock, but I wanted to share it. I started filming to get her "meowing" at the cats. Watch right after she stands up, then throws the babydoll down. This was on June 27Th, almost 15 months old.

June and Such

Just a few pictures from June..... Elise had discovered drawing is fun :)

And Papa found out she's really good with a straw.

We got to go to the zoo with her cousins.

And rode the train for the first time.

She really didn't get the sight-seeing part of it, but it had been YEARS for me, so I enjoyed it!
