Gorgeous (with attitude)

Was someone looking for the sweetest face in the world?!  I think you found it!

The thing I love best about this picture is that she’s snuggling my knee here…

Seriously Mom, I’m tired of this bow…

This weekend I discovered the secret to really cute pictures of Chloe.  Are you ready for this?!  Take pictures of someone or something else.  That’s it.  So simple!  Why didn’t I think of it sooner???  This is Chloe at her cousin’s birthday party when she realized I was trying to take pics of all the guests…

And here she is at the baby shower we had for my friend on Sunday…

We had a fun and busy weekend last weekend and this coming week is going to be even more of the same!!  Tomorrow we’re heading back to visit my sister up North!  It’s going to be a great, but full 10 days together, which we haven’t had in at least 5 years:( so I can’t wait!  There will certainly be cute pictures to follow.  

My blog is getting even less dedicated to thoughtful entries and even more heavily weighted to pictures, but I’m just not sure how to fix that.  I haven’t been able to put my feelings into words let alone into writing for months now.  I think it goes back to the answer my law school professors loved to use when someone asked them to define something lovely like “due diligence” or “adequate consideration”…it’s like beauty, you just know it when you see it.  Unfortunately you can’t write that into a legal brief and you can’t write it into a blog entry!!  I look at Chloe and I know what I’m feeling, but trying to explain it to anyone is pretty close to impossible.  I’ll keep trying periodically, but at least I’ve almost been able to get my thought process into black and white–even if it’s just explaining why my thought process isn’t leading to anything these days.  Any words of wisdom about how to get through this fuzziness are warmly welcomed!  

Still working on my new photo editing software, but haven’t made much progress on it.  I wish I could just take a class on it so I didn’t have to read through all these books to figure out how to use it all!  I’m not much for studying any more.  Glad I went to law school straight from undergrad because I don’t think I’m ever going to regain that momentum even though I’d love to have a PhD to tack onto my name!
