Feeling Nostalgic

Every so often I look back at old pictures.  I am such a fan of taking pictures at all times.  My husband humors me and participates, but really does not appreciate my photog tendencies.  Tonight while scrolling through some relatively old pictures on snapfish I stumbled upon a set which captures my eagerness and Omar’s lack of cooperation towards capturing that perfect moment.  To set the scene, these were snapped after a game in Davenport...the only reason so many were taken was because the first one we self- portraited (is that even a word!) I thought my hair looked a little crazy, plus I have a blinking dilemma...

take one

take two

 

take three

success!

  

(*After the third debacle, I advised him it was in his best interest to stop with the funny faces because I was only going to make him continue to take pictures until we got it right...lol)

While looking through 2007’s season pictures I got all emotional when I saw these two little pups.

My little Coco and Peanut... when they were still the babies in our lives.  Poor little guys, they were so spoiled.  I get sad when I think about how they must feel neglected now that the boys rule our world.  And OMG--- check out my locks!  I miss my hair being that long, but oh the comfort of having short hair makes me know it was worth chopping it off.

Just one more picture for the soul purpose of missing my hair...lol.  Although the angle (another self portrait) makes it look like there is a flame on the top of my head!!!  Just another pre-baby picture taken at the cabin.  I also secretly miss O’s braids.  I know they are hood and whatever...but I actually really like them.  I try to convince him ALL the time to grow it out again and braid it, never gives in.  Says the in between stage is too annoying.  But I am persistent and hope he will give in one day, perhaps when he has a mid-life crisis.
