Good bye blogging

As we reach the final stages of our basement remodel, we decided to go through old 'memory' boxes and purge- we really don't want our girls seeing some of our past pictures :)

While sorting through pictures I realized that I am even worse at keeping bad pictures now that things are digital. With young kids and my lack of photo expertise, I usually snap 10 pictures of a shot and hope one turns out. So my new (mid-year) resolution is to start deleting the sub-par ones. In addition, I have decided to quit blogging and instead invest my time in creating an annual family yearbook that we can print out (I haven't really found a good way to print out the blog). So, good-bye blogging! (sorry Mom)

Dylan's photo shoot

Amanda (Jamison's sister) hooked us up big time with a newborn photo shoot for Dylan. We went when Dylan was 12 days old, and I am sooo excited to share the pictures of our cute little munchkin.

We started off with some family pics (which I'm guessing had to be photoshopped to get us all looking at the camera at the same time)

Emmery looking so grown-up!

And now for baby Dylan
These two pictures remind me of how she curls up on your chest.

Dylan has beautiful deep grey-blue eyes right now. Here she is in a blanket from her Aunt Amanda.

And with her treasured quilt made by her Grandma Jean.

The next few pictures show all of the details that I can spend hours looking at

The following ones are some of my favorites- so 'organic' feeling.

I love how the pictures capture Dylan and all of her chubbiness, cuteness, and soulfulness.

I also thought it would be fun to compare some of Em's and Dylan's baby pictures. We had Emmery's done by the same photographer when she was only 1 week old.  If you cover up Dylan's hair you can see that the girls don't look identical (Dylan has a wider jaw and different profile on her nose), but you can tell these 2 are sisters.  Or do all babies put in the same pose look similar?
