Wedding Dress Revisited

So I had seen this idea waaaaay back when on the internet to put your daughter as a child in your wedding dress for pictures. Well, I can now say that myself and BOTH of my daughters have tried on my wedding dress! You can revisit the Trinity experience back in 2012 HERE. My own wedding photos are all film. So you get this badly scanned and saved off Facebook years later image to get a feel of how I looked in the dress. FB_IMG_1508446948163

Anyway… Trinity has requested I not do my original plan, which is dismantle the dress and make keepsake items out of it for the girls. Instead she wants me to hold onto it for her. Who knows, she may wish to make it over. OR we could make it a real long reaching tradition where ANY of the future babies can also try it on for photos?? I honestly don’t get tired of looking at these. So enjoy the photo dump. 20171019_152143_HDR

Final But WAY Delayed Honest Photo Post

Well, honestly we just plain got busy! We have 2 different weekends of Canadian guests in October, Ken had a last minute flight out for a 3 day event, Trinity and Emanuel tested for yellow belts in karate and Ken had to go to a benefit and receive an award! But more on that at a later date… here are the last 2 days of Honest Photo Month. I hope you enjoyed the experience. I know I did!

Day 29

We are almost at the end… Honest truth… crochet and crafting keeps me sane. This has been a long week and a new project was started to sooth the soul… and with every baby blanket the kids give me the “No babies here? RIGHT?” look. Darlings we took good careful care to ensure that 5 is the magic number… All my babies are fur or borrowed…

…and the last of Honest Photo month. I wish I had something deep and introspective. Instead I have 2 cranky teens in my hammock reading books. Thank you for joining me on my experiment. A month of honest images. True to form we were wild, weird, silly, even boring. I know I won’t commit to another month of daily pictures just yet, but promise to share any good honest images as they pop up in my life with the bold words HONEST PHOTO. So keep an eye peeled and feel free to share your own with me.IMG_20170930_185143_569
