On Sunday, Christy and I were finally able to head outside with the kids and then we headed out by ourselves for a frigid photo shoot. Since Christy’s arrival from Texas, the weather has been freakishly, stupid cold, so cold that Christy’s son could not play in the snow. Which was NOT easy to explain to a child that only wanted to play in the damn snow. Poor boy.
Here are a few shots from playing outdoors with the little ones. More to come later of our frigid photo shoot. It was really cold, despite being 40 degrees warmer than it was Thursday night, it was only 20 degrees today. I don’t plan to spend that much time outside again in those temperature until the year two thousand never.

































Wow, that’s some SNOW! I sort of miss it in a but-glad-I-don’t-have-to-shovel-or-drive-in-it kind of way. The smiles are the best though….I would almost move up there just to have you constantly taking pictures of my kids!

Love ‘em! And I had the loveliest of times today, my friend. The loveliest.

Gosh, your pictures speak to me. i can literally *taste* the snow on that glove, having done that so any times as a child myself (heck, who’m I kidding, as an adult, too). I miss snow. So much.

Just to let you know, I fricking loath laundry. So of course you blog title sucked me in!!! And then I get over here and start being nosey and I notice that the pictures you take are beyond awesome! Which is cool for you, but pisses me off because I WANT good pics like that! I mean, not in front of snow, but on front of the palm trees. Either way, I want good pictures. And to top it off you have to be funny. So I guess I will just have to come back for more. Because I love good pics and I love funny. What does that tell you?

You take wonderful pictures! I wish mine would turn out so good
I like that you did some in B/W, I might try it sometime. Now that it is not minus 30 degrees with the windchill, the kids can go play outside.

Your photos are clear and vibrant and incredibly beautiful, and they capture the moments that would otherwise pass unannounced… but what I REALLY love are the shadows. The deck rails, the outstretched arm, two bodies x two more in shadow, the sled… each shadow brings each photo to new height and dimension… I LOVE how you captured life and then some!

Beautiful pictures!!! I’ve been thinking about you guys and in the frigid cold. It’s been pretty balmy here, which is very strange!
Glad you had such a great visit

Goodness I can’t believe you braved the cold for a photo shoot! That’s loyalty right there! LOL. This freakish cold weather has been insane. I wish I could go back with your friend Christy to Texas (where I’m from)…the weather is MUCH better out there. *sigh*

SNOW, SNOW…and MORE SNOW! I know exactly what you’re going through cause we’ve been dumped on, too! I haven’t seen this much snow in Michigan in a long time! It’s crazy! It makes great photos though, doesn’t it! It’s also a great way to spend time with your kids. We’ve certainly had a blast.

I am from Texas too, and THIS is the type of weather that I would love to have! In fact, my husband has family in Indiana, and we have never been able to visit when it snows. The pictures are beautiful!!!

The kids look like they had fun. I’m one of the weird people who love the snow. It was just beautiful this morning. Even at 6:00 a.m. when I was shoveling. Tell Racecar we missed him today.
