Have you noticed the decline in posts? Me too. I can give you a few reasons. One is this second pregnancy. I had a break from the pain of growing (and I mean pain), but now it is back no thanks to scrubbing floors on hands and knees. At least I feel that much better about the cleanliness of my floors. And, reason 2, wouldn't you know it, but half the photos I take of Holly end up something like the first one you see below. The kid loves the camera and because we always let her play with things that cost hundreds of dollars (no) she thinks it belongs to her. Sometimes she brings the camera bag to me grunting, indicating that I should open it for her to play with. So when I do attempt to take photos of her (capture the moments, etc), she comes racing towards me in an attempt to play with what she feels is rightfully hers, only to get really upset and grumpy when I keep the camera out of her reach. In 20+ years when Holly asks why there's such a decline in photographs, I'll tell her it was her fault. Because it is.

As you can see, Holly did give in to my pleadings and allowed me to photograph her. She even played along by posing (albeit goofily) and I managed to take about 5 photos before she declared herself finished with modeling and hopped off the couch. At least her shoes are cute. Now if you'll excuse me, I have heartburn like a knife in the night on top of my usual ailments. If I ever do this pregnant thing again, I should be sainted.
