Yesterday, I shared this little gem of my Ali Pie wishing everyone a Happy Mother's Day. I actually made this into a nice little card from Mpix to send to everyone in place of proper Mother's Day cards.
I normally go big on Mother's Day cards. They go to everyone-moms, grandmas, great-grandmas, aunts, etc. etc. But since this year was my first year without my mom, I couldn't face the card aisle. So, our homemade chalk board and camera became our way to say Happy Mother's Day. And given how darling this turned out, I think we'll do it every year. That way all the women in our families will see Ali grow over the years. Pretty neat!This photo shoot took all of 10 minutes, but it was a very fun 10 minutes. The family had just taken a walk on a positively glorious day and it was getting late. Ali really should have been settling down for bed, Lucy was amped from the walk, but this was the time. Lucy was all over the yard and Doug was simultaneously trying to keep Lucy away from Ali and make Ali smile, while I was trying to keep Ali on the blanket and snap the picture. Wouldn't you know that the last picture was perfect, but how about some of the others? Enjoy some of my other shots, complete with captions.
Hey, what's this?
What is that dog doing?
What's this crawly thing? Can I eat it?
Mom, I think this picture would be better if it were a movie! Watch me go!
Yes, most of Ali's waking hours are consumed with moving and putting things in her mouth. I wonder how her Father's Day photo shoot will go!
