baby ben

have i mentioned how much i love babies?

maybe it's just obvious since i had five.
but some people have kids but aren't thrilled with the baby stages.
that is not me.
i could look at a baby all day.
when i see a baby i have to restrain myself from picking it up.
i like each stage of that first year.

this 10 month stage that ben is in….
LOVE it.
they start to walk.  they smile at everything with toothy grins.
they have such big personalities.
thank you kim for another adorable baby to practice my photography.

my favorite.
those big blue eyes are going to get him in trouble someday….

kayla - O my gosh what a cutie pie. He is so sweet and precious. Thank you for sharing the pictures just looking at a happy healthy child makes me smile!

robin bird - oh! isn’t that great! all these positive comments and encouragement from your friends! i LOVE the first one and i also am very impressed with what you chose to capture and the perfect use of light! really good meg!

Jen - Whoooosh! What a doll!

Staci - Kim’s favorite is my fav too 🙂 What a cute little guy! I LOVE those striped pants, toooo cute 🙂 Great job!

Lanny Stanard - I could eat him all up! what a cutie…
Have a great week-end.
Lanny

Julie K. - Love them. I’m curious … did you get a new lens? These are great!! And do you do any editing for color? Either way, these are so fabulous, you have such a natural eye for this stuff. You are going to make it as a p.r.o.f.e.s.s.i.o.n.a.l photographer … that is for sure!

Carla Proctor - Hey there I finally decided to get in touch this way. i’m not so good with writing on blogs but i look at yours everyday so i thought why not:) love all the pictures of the babies, i should have you do abby’s 2yr pics. i’m not sure what we’re doing yet, i had my sister do her 9mo and loved them more than any of the others. did you ever get the email i wrote you? i did write ya and wanted you to know that! anyway hopefully i’ll be in touch with you soon. can’t believe kim’s little guy is so big already… time really does fly! keep taking those pictures and we’ll come that way so you can practice on us to sometime!

Sandy - I’m with Kim, 4th is my favorite too. But, I have to add that they are all adorable – thanks to the cute boy and the photographer! Good job Megan!
Sandy
Troy, OH

Kim Disberger - I might have to buy a poster size of the 4th one for my bedroom! I love them, Thanks Megan. You’re very talented and I think you could make a business out of this easily. David said it, “She’s good, and that’s coming from a guy whose worked with $5000./a day photographers!”

traci - your doing great!!! he’s a doll!

One Wired Woman - Love these photos… he’s a cutie. ~Jill 🙂

One Wired Woman - Love these photos… he’s a cutie. ~Jill 🙂

Rachel - How adorable…and great shots…your a great photographer!

tausha - I love babies too. Maybe not as much as you do-but I so love that new baby smell-and watching them scrunch and stretch and groan! My sis is having a baby is Jan-so excited-can’t wait!
I just have a quick question? Every stage? What about the one where you turn around for 3 seconds and they manage to dump the entire bottle of ketchup all over the brand new carpet? Then they do that dang giggle and smile through the pain-but continue yelling anyway! Maybe I am just a freak-after all I do have 17 pillows on my bed! (see latest post)

PamperingBeki - Okay, I scrolled down… different basket. 😉 I need sleep.

PamperingBeki - Awwww, what a doll!!
You had a great subject and you did a fabulous job, as always.
Where were you a year ago when my own baby was that age and I could’ve used pictures? Oh, that’s right – a few blocks away. But I didn’t know that.
Wasn’t that basket pink the other day with Cora? Or did I make that up? You just paint it for every photo shoot, don’t you. Haha!

Jennalee - I see Kim in him way more so then the other two boys. Beautiful pictures Megan!!!

Sandra - I love babies too. And they seem to know when you are a “baby person” — I seldom have a baby refuse to come to me. And they are babies such a short time — you have to enjoy them “quick!”

Kara - My favorite is the third picture. It is just absolutely adorable.

chris - You are so talented , really you capture such wonderful shots.
Chris

Lorilee - What a cute child! The photos are wonderful. I would have to say the 4th is my favorite!
Blessings,
Lorilee

lee ann - I love his face in the second one. And what awesome “catch lights” in his eyes on every one of them! (Did I just make you think I know what I’m talking about? 🙂

Heidi - More great baby shots! You keep this up girl and you’ll be making appointments with eager moms and dads for baby photo shoots. Poor you, getting paid for something you love to do. ;o)

one hour

annie asks me 10 times a day "is it time to pick up the kids?"

the last hour is the longest for her.
she watches the clock (but does not know how to tell time)
then shouts "IT"S TIME! it's been four minutes."
making no sense.
today this is how we spent that last hour.

IMG_6677

working on Cubbies book.
it said to draw someone that God made.
she painted our neighbor simon – her best friend who is a boy.
(eliza is her best friend that is a girl)  
the 5th kid gets to paint in her church book…why not?!

IMG_6681

worked on figuring out how a pinwheel spins.

IMG_6691

IMG_6700

jumped on the trampoline.

then i got under the trampoline.
(i know i know it's terribly unsafe…but she's little..it was fine)
she thought it was so funny to jump on me.

IMG_6728

IMG_6745

and finally it was time to go "pick up the kids".
other than preschool…it's her favorite thing to do.

Sandra - What a doll! Too cute.

Deb - Oh, how sweet! Two year old Breanna can’t stand when her big sister is away. For her whole life, we’ve all been together nearly all the time. Sweet girl.

katie - awesome pics!

cynthia - love the trampoline pics and
love that she misses them…
sweet!

That Girl - that’s it–I’m turning you in to the fun police!

Liz - These pictures put a lump in my throat, makes me wish I were a kid again. 🙂

Staci - Ahhh! She misses them 🙂 So sweet! Looks like that last hour was a lot of fun 🙂

Rachel - That is sooo cute! Great pics…especially the pin wheel pic! Kids have no concept of time and it’s the greatest thing…no cares just wanting their siblings to come home from school!! She is beautiful!

Traci - awesome pix under the trampoline. who needs to photoshop with textures. just place a trampoline in front of your subjects. very cool!!

Kara - The trampoline pics are A-mazing. Wow. I love them.

Joni - The trampoline pics turned out awesome! Like a homemade filter!

Tausha - we have that issue at our house as well. If you go back a few weeks-you will come across the post where 4 turned all my clocks so that it would be time to go to school. She too can’t tell time, so it was just a pain in my butt to go around and fix all my clocks!
So glad to see that you have a little person at your house who dresses herself and I am sure is conviced that she looks darling! maybe that is just my 4 about the darling-she thinks that she is pretty hot stuff! She strutts around like she is all that and bag of chips. And I know what you are thinking-NO I don’t do that. She must have picked it up off of tv!

One Wired Woman - Love those pics through the trampoline. Cool! So glad to be back in our house with electricity. Hurricane Ike has kicked our booty here in the Houston area. Arrgghhh!! Hope all is well with you and your precious family. Hugs~ Jill 🙂

kristin - what a rich life she has.
i love it.

Sandy - I love all the pictures, especially the one with her feet touching the trampoline. A-dorable, as always.
Sandy
Troy, OH

Erica - Hey Meg, just wanted to say HI! and of course, cute pics. Annie is getting SO big.

Lorilee - Wonderful photos! I love the under the trampline vantage point!
Blessings,
Lorilee

Heidi - Cute photos as usual! She looks like she had fun killin’ time!

mallory Heffronm - What great pictures. Looks like you spent the last hour very busy

Lanny Stanard - to me it looks like that was a long hour!!! cute picture’s as always…
Have a great week-end
Lanny :o)

PamperingBeki - Haha! Those are sooo cute!!
I used to tell my kids “It’s like one episode of Dora.” That sort of put time into perspective for them.

Aislinn&Kirstin - What a beautiful family – I am sure that these pictures will help remind them every day of the perfect joy Cora brought to so many lives. I have never seen they beauty of a child in a purer form than in these pictures – they bring chills to me and tears to my eyes.
Cora’s look of such love and trust in the last picture is – wow. All I can say is wow.
Cora, I may not have known you or your family, but you will be forever in our hearts.

loved it

no matter which party you are….

Andria - It is so funny. I agree the part where Hillary says I should have wanted it more was so funny. Not a Hilary lover, but do agree she got raw deal from media. They fawn all over Barack Obama & softball all their questions to him, meanwhile, Gibson at ABC did the hardest interview I’ve ever seen him do of Palin. I hope all these media types keep up their sexist behavior, they’ll tick off every woman in America!

katie - hahahahahhahahaha! i love SNL!!

Shannan Martin - That voice was dead-on! And the funny scrunched-up, pulling the lips over the teeth thing. I can only hope and assume that even Palin herself got a kick out of it. If anyone could impersonate me that well, I would! Will Ferrel as GW and Tina as Palin. Two of the best ever.
ps- Do you watch 30 Rock? It’s our fave…

Deb - Oh, I loved the part where “Hillary” said she’d won had she just “wanted it more.” I saw the white knuckles. Lol

Staci - Wasn’t it GREAT!!! Still cracking up 🙂

Jilly - Loved it, how could you not love it? The accent and mannerisms were perfect!

Kim - Visiting…Traci sent me over. Great blog. Your pictures are amazing. I loved the whole Tina Fey thing. The first time I saw Palin I knew Tina had to do her on SNL!

jerusalem - that is so funny! they both so nail them, too funny!

Shana - I knew it! I saw that skit coming the minute I saw Palin – she and Fey look just alike!… and I knew you would love it being the SNL lover you are. We even let Jace stay up since Phelps was on. He now thinks SNL is the “funniest show ever!” Hmmm…what kind of parents are we!?!?

traci - that was hilarious. they were awesome. i missed it that night.

mom - We saw that Tina was going to be doing Palin on SNL and we had to watch. This was hilarious. I haven’t watched SNL for a long time and I’ve decided we’re just too old, because not much else was funny to us.

traci - Tina Fey nailed Palins voice but she didnt nail her looks (imo). Palin is prettier than Fey pulled off. Anyhow, it was funny

chris - That was so good . thanks
Chris

Shelly H. (in Overland Park, KS) - Very funny!! I missed the beginning of SNL, but when I heard a clip of this played on the radio, I went and found it last night. I told my husband that he needs to find it also.
Hilarious!! Tina Fey totally nailed it!!

PamperingBeki - I almost posted that on my blog today too! Isn’t that hysterical!!
Tina Fey *nailed* Sarah’s voice. Loved it.

swing away sean

our church had an end of summer party a few weeks ago.

IMG_5771

the bouncy house moonwalk company didn't show up.
they just bailed on 500 people!
can you imagine doing that?  to a church?
thank goodness there were some pinatas.
really strong very full pinatas.     
and plastic bats.
IMG_5776

patti i thought you'd like that one.

IMG_5790
IMG_5785

you can just imagine the screaming and chaos going in these pictures!
i wish there was audio to go along.

IMG_5781

IMG_5792 
YES!
they were all loaded up with smarties and gum….mmmmmm!

the party was on a beautiful august evening.
so good to see and talk to people we hadn't seen most of the summer.
it was a perfect weather.

IMG_5794

i think everyone there had a really good time.  
even without a bouncy house.

Shannan Martin - Dang. I thought I was the only one who noticed the little girl pulling up her dress. 🙂 Apparently not. She stole the show in that shot. She’s like a toddler at a PGA tournament or something…standing there in utter suspense, just waiting to see if he’ll pull it off.

carisa - smarties are my FAVORITE… love them!
ton o fun even without the bounce thingy! 🙂
pinatas RULE!
fun pics… glad you shared!

Tausha - I came across your blog cause I saw someone else post the pics of your bathroom. I loved it so I came on over. I love your blog. You are such a good mom! Your home is beautiful! You definately have a knack! I love your old, beautiful home and the fact that you kept is authentic as possible. Beautiful details! Please, Come and say hello! I will be back to see what else you come up with!

mallory Heffronm - Looks like you guys had lots of fun, even without the moon bounce.

Tami - first time comment…
🙂
that is my little girl with the dress up!
she’s cute enough, though, huh?
meg – i have completely loved lurking on your blog – but now i’m out!

traci - pinatas are so fun. i can’t believe that company bailed. what goes around comes around. tell talby i’ll be over for some of those smarties – those are my favorite – i did i see a little roll of sprees in there too. yum!!!

Lorilee - The children look like they are having a blast! Candy is always popular!
Blessings,
Lorilee

princess lasertron - your girls are so adorable.
hahahahah @ the little girl pulling her dress up
that was me in every photo of me from age 2-4

family night

pizza first.

IMG_6348

then it was time for a game.
board games are fun but a constant check of our patience.
playing games with kids can be really fun (laughing and happy and learning)
or go very badly (crying, fighting, pouting, sent to your room)
at least that's how it is at our house.

tonight was mostly the fun happy part.

IMG_6358

lorel – i was wishing you were here so you'd say "who knew?!"
i kept saying it like you did the whole time.

IMG_6356

IMG_6363

C3PO has nothing to do with Whoonu.
he was just there which i thought was so typical.

IMG_6368

IMG_6371

everyone chooses a card from their 4 with a word they think you'd like.
these were the words for me.  
shopping i like the best.
jelly donuts i like the least.

IMG_6375

IMG_6378

scott was the winner.

craig i know what are thinking….give him a haircut.
i say we just leave it.  
with the messy long hair people may not notice the missing teeth.  

Rachel - Wow that looked like fun…it’s soo fun and simple when the family gathers around for a good ol game..and pizza…was that homemade pizza? I tried doing that last week and my 3 year old replied “can I have sometin else…I dunt wike it” must have been pretty bad, I ate it anyway so I didn’t hurt my own feelings.

traci - i think every girl in america, young and old, should throw caution to the wind and dress like your little annie. look how happy she is. i think it has something to do with her fabulous fashion sense. where what you like, when you like, no matter what. go annie!!!

lorel - I sometimes get verklempt when I look at your blog. Who knew? Let’s discuss…call 555-4444. Give a call..we’ll talk…no big whoop.

Sandra - I’m always looking for new games to play with my grandchildren. This one looks like one we would all enjoy! Unless, like you say, it turns out to be one of those bickering, pouting, “I don’t want to play any more!” times — yes, those happen sometimes at Nana’s house too.
LOVE the outfit. Shows alot of creativity (and self-confidence!)

Allikayes Mama - That looks like a great game! And let me just say…that girl knows how to pick put an outfit! Priceless!! hehehe! Oh…how’s life with the new puppy going?/ Any “Meg” type funny stories?? :0)

Deb - I love C3PO.

PamperingBeki - Stalkers are family too, ya know? Why wasn’t I invited to game night? haha!
Is that Papa Murph’s pizza? I LOVE their pizza.
Adorable pictures, as always! Oh, and I kind of like the shaggy hair look on boys so I think he should keep it. 😉

katie - we’re on a connect four streak…or that’s what i’m calling it cause it’s been scattered on my floor for weeks!
how do you keep your kids from eating all of the gumballs?

Art Cant Hurt - Just checking in and am relieved to find that your family is sometimes prone to gametime-party-poopers also! We’ve got a few of those!
Looks like tons of fun! Again, I’m wishing we were neighbors and I could just walk across the yard and ask to borrow Whoonu for our family night! Take care!

Lorilee - Looks like such fun! We don’t play games too often! Scrabble is a tradition that my Step mom started with the grandkids when we are staying in their camper. I am astounded thatmy 13 year old son loves it! He likes Chess, but it takes too much concentration to be fun for me! My son also likes UNO and Connect Four. I like Chicken Foot dominoes!
Blessings,
Lorilee

that girl - My older kids just discovered “Clue” and that was a fun game to teach them. Game nights are our favorite over here.

Staci - I’m so glad to hear that board games are frustrating for other people too 🙂 We TRY…we REALLY try…but it so does try your patience, doesn’t it!!! Thanks for keeping it real! We’ll have to give Whoonu a try 🙂 I say leave his hair too 🙂 What a cutie! sorry about your Jayhawks last night…BUMMER!

Queenie Bee - We love games too!!! I hope you guys are participating in “THe Million Minute Family Game Challenge”. (millionminute.com) It’s really fun. Our entire cub scout pack is playing along!

Lori Eurto - How stinkin cute. Your family looks so much fun. Can you adopt me?

Lori Eurto - How stinkin cute. Your family looks so much fun. Can you adopt me?

Aby - Looks like loads of fun. I’m with you though… any type of “planned fun” around our house always seems to go terribly wrong.. I usually end up feeling like Mommy Dearest when it’s all over.. I think my expectations are always too high.. I’m picturing “Norman Rockwell”.. I usually get “Married with Children”. Unplanned always seems to work better for us… it just happens naturally when we’re ALL in the right frame of mind.

friday

oh yes!

it's friday.
that feels good to me.  
i don't know why since i don't go to work anywhere.
i am just happy for it.
other than the down pour of rain here this morning.
it's quite exciting getting kids to school in pouring rain.

here is a series of randomness for friday.

happy friday.

kell - I hope the top row of the muffin tin was cheese and not butter! 🙂
You’re Friday looked WONDERFUL!
Beautiful flowers.
I love my babes but have to admit I’m a little excited for school days!

traci - yep, you gotta love fridays. waffle is so cute. love that quilt. i just want to snuggle up in it. so pretty. have a great weekend!! we had rain all day today and it’s still coming down.

emily - I love your photos Meg. The first one is awesome! Happy Friday!

Deb - Oh yeah, Friday ROCKS!

amy d - love the picture of talby in her swimsuit giving waffle a bath!! he looks so thrilled 🙂
….like ho, hum, if i have to.
made the stuffed shells again today, my craig will be happy, (“like, she should enter these in a contest or something”) hehe. MAKE IT STOP RAINING!!! my upstairs ceiling is dripping, yuck!

shiela - just PRETTY!

carissa - delightful randomness… that is!
have an awesome weekend!

Liz - Meg, that camera of yours makes me drool! Fantastic photos.

Leslie - I always love your posts filled with pictures. I would take photography lessons from you if I could. The pictures of everyday life are the best! I usually love Fridays but today I am watching the news and waiting for Ike to hit. I am in a suburb of Houston so we are going to get a direct hit. Say a prayer for all of us here on the Gulf Coast.

Elise - My mom made me a “quilt” out of that same patchwork fabric. Thanks for the trip down memory lane!! Oh, I love your stuffed shells recipe. Yum!!
Elise

Heidi - Great shots, I love the puppy having a bath one the best!!

Shannan Martin - Fridays are always my favorite, too. They feel like a sneak preview of…something. Something fun. And I just like knowing that my hubby will be around for the next two days. Love your pictures, as always! I totally had a “why haven’t I thought about that?” moment when I spied the mini muffin tin full of snacks. My pre-schoolers would totally dig it.
-Shannan

Liz - Friday IS the best, isn’t it? It heralds the start of the weekend, when I always plan to do so much and then on Sunday night realise I haven’t done half of it! Have a good weekend.

PamperingBeki - Yay for Fridays!
And yay for puddles to splash in!
(Don’t forget to pick up your kids early today… Not that you would since you’re Mom of the year, but still… This mom has done it more than once. Ack!)

Melanie - Meg,
Love the picture of the poochie. I have a maltipoo and I love dogs! I wanted to know what Oprah magazine that is in your stack? Is it the new fall issue or a special issue? I love to read and always love to find new books. Thanks.

lee ann - The cookie bars were a huge hit! My husband’s co-workers are enjoying them today.
Hooray! It’s Friday. This is our first year of full-time school so this is the first year where FRIDAY and all its glory is really sinking in. Love your colorful photos!

Lorilee - During the school year, when I am teaching, Fridays are definitely a favorite day! Just knowing I can sleep in on Saturday morning is a big deal! Here in Texas, schools were cancelled on Thursday and Friday because of the threat of Ike. I spent the day on Thursday, cleaning out the garden shed and stuffing it with patio furniture, pot plants, and assorted yard stuff! Boy was it HOT. I also washed and hung out several loads of laundry just in case Ike hit and we lost power for several days as happened with Claudette. It does look as if we are going to be spared the brunt of Ike though!
Blessings,
Lorilee

Aby - Whooo-Hooooo for Fridays!!! The only thing better is Saturday!!!
Have a great weekend! We’re bracing for remnants of IKE… lots of rain and wind starting tomorrow! I LOVE it!!!

Dana D @BoysMyJoys - Happy Friday to you, too!
I love Fridays because I spend the day looking forward to two days of being with my family!

chris - Happy Friday Meg, I love Friday’s too .
Two days of rest for me well from working out and getting up early and getting the kids to school , that is something I look forward to .
Have done 27 miles so far , no thinner mind you , but if I keep at it I will be thinner soon enough .
Its raining here too today .
Chris
