the latest snapshots



On Easter, Gabe led worship at church, while Ellis and I stayed home in our germ-free environment (ha!).  I decided to do an Easter photo-shoot a la Sear's style.  As it turns out, holding up an infant in a basket with one hand while trying to aim and shoot the camera with the other hand is quite challenging.  Believe it or not, here are the best shots of our photo shoot!


I think this is my most favorite:








I love photographing Ellis' chubby sleeping face.



Ellis and Gabe sat and chatted in our rocking chair for the longest time the other night.  She was completely captivated by him. There are a few more pictures further down in this post.








Here are some more shots where I'm holding her and unable to look through the camera while I shoot and hope for the best.






If you look closely, you'll see Ellis sticking out her tongue.


She is so much FUN to have around!
