Ryan's Portrait Session

I finally took Ryan in to get portraits this year- a little later than his Birthday, but it worked out okay with Halloween. Anyway, I was really pleased with the pictures and he did very well during the picture taking. The photographer wanted to put me in some of the shots- this was not my request- but a few of them are cute. It is so hard to decide which photos to order prints of, but I had a fun time and I can't wait until they come back. He also had portraits done in his Halloween costume, but you're going to have to wait for those a little while longer.


I think this one is my favorite because it shows so much personality.
Good thing my nails were painted!

Aw!

Yes he played with the cars the entire shoot, but it made it bearable, so I didn't complain.
Kind of a funny pose there, but still cute.
This one I didn't order and I'm kicking myself, I may just have to do it after all.
And a nice close-up. You can see a small I'm-a-two-year-old-who-never-slows-down bruise on his head so I ordered this one in Sepia.

Those turned out great!! I love the one of him giving you a kiss. I always come home and realize I've ordered all the wrong pictures. :) Usually I try to take someone with me to help me choose. That first one is also pretty great. What fun!!

He's such a handsome boy! I'd have problems picking too! I'm terrible about professional photos. It's the journalist at heart. I like the messy snap shots.

Spode Dish Factory

Image
I went with a few friends on a mommy-field trip to the Spode Dish factory in Malaysia.  We had the best time and it was an experience I won't soon forget.  We met at Becky's in the morning and got our three car caravan ready to go.  We said a prayer, did a cheer and were off at about 9 am.  We crossed the border without any issues (except for toll top-up cards) and hit the road.  In about an hour we arrived at this little side-of-the-road pottery market.  It was typical of a third-world place. True Outlet shopping.  There was a nice aluminum roof and some big fans to keep us cool.  The plates were very dusty from being outside so long but there were so many lovely treasures.  We all had a good time just wandering around searching for new dishes. I was looking for a set of every-day dishes and anything else was a bonus in my mind.  Spode is a European brand that outsources production to Malaysia.  Their retail cost is pretty high...

Skiing

This winter has been AWFUL so far.  I just KNEW it would be too!  We've had two very mild winters back to back and I knew that meant we would have to pay for it this year.   The inversion has been so bad this year that since Christmas it's been above 30 degrees like 3 or 4 times!!! Most days, it's been in the teens or lower.  I've been substituting for a teacher who was on maternity leave since December 10th.  So many inside recess days, I thought I was going to lose my mind.   My long-term job ended on Friday and with Martin Luther King Junior day on Monday, I just really wanted to get out of the inversion.  I tried to convince Colin to go to Las Vegas with me but we decided that wasn't very realistic, still cold there too.   Then I proposed skiing and we both decided it would be really fun to take the boys!  I was really pretty nervous about teaching both of the boys but the day was so amazing I couldn't even believe it.  ...
