Dooley Family Pics (additional)

Okay I had to include this last photo I found... 

So during the photo shoot Daphney was being super stoic; super frustrating and of all times to actually be calm. (Notice she doesn't smile in any of the pictures.)

Anyways while the rest of us were taking pictures I guess she got bored and came out and laid out on the floor and started posing. It was so cute once we realized what she was doing! Sadly I don't have any of her awesome poses, but this is right at the tail end and I think the funny part is everyone else's faces. She has our attention for sure...

Dooley Family Photos




                             

                        We found this sweet little photography studio that charged us by the hour, and then we could use any backgrounds, props, or lighting that we wanted. It was perfect for so many babies in an Idaho winter. We did not even use our whole hour, as you can see by the last picture posted the kids were clearly done.                                                                                                                                  
Babies were done with photos!

Being Daphney's Mother

By being Daphney's mother I have discovered a lot of things about the human condition in relation to me.

For example, singing a song at the top of your lungs has thus far been an undervalued power source and  brings energy into your soul in the most desperate of times! -even works for nursery rhymes and stupid little Kookaburra bird songs.

I have also learned that if a person is not given something to do he/she will find something... My constant question is what is Daphney going to do next in correlation to me.I would also like to think that I am getting good at this dual thought process.  I now always sweep my dirt piles under the cabinets until the final moments in which I can vacuum them up. This prevents Daphney from 
1.) eating (YES EATING... you think she would do that earlier so I wouldn't have to sweep), 
2.) stepping on (She likes to be exactly where I am working. Picture a hippy sitting on a blanket in front of a vacuum protecting all of her toys from being vacuumed away. I am serious; she even moves herself and the blanket as I try to go around her.)  
3.) or brushing the piles of dirt around with her hand. 

Point of the Ranting: Life is full of a lot of ups and downs when you are a mother of a Daphenator, both ups and downs are a blessing that I am forced to learn from. : D

Christmas Photos

Our family is so very blessed, and one of our greatest blessings this year is the birth of our son Demitri. What a sweet gift he is to us! I was a little worried if I would be able to get him out of that stocking.... Don't try this at home.
