I remember before we had the babies, we were trying to think of how we would celebrate the Fourth. Usually we go on the lake for this holiday. I was trying to decide if (thinking I would be 36 weeks along) I would want to a) be in a bathing suit and b) be on a boat.
I also remember thinking that maybe the babies would be born on the 4th of July. I love this holiday for some reason...I think it is because I love not only the patriotism behind it, but I also love the color scheme.
When I talked about our boys coming on the 4th, Chris' witty response was:
"well, that would be ironic. Independence day would symbolize the loss of our independence.".
That quote is so much more real now than we could have imagined.
So, for our Independence Day this year we had a photo shoot.
I learned a few things:
a. trying out camera tricks and learning how to use the camera should not be done while naked newborn babies are your subject. (by the way, if anyone knows of any good online tutorials please let me know. I am such a "wanna be" photographer but in reality I don't know anything! I have a Canon point and shoot...if anyone has tips I would much appreciate it!)
b. always ALWAYS take pictures when the babies are full (aka...so very full that they are tired and not fussy)
Trying to get them both set up for some pictures....(Cam is in back Sully in front)
Camden was being so patient with Mommy and her (my) "experiment".
Sullivan realizing that it was about 18 minutes past feeding time.
Sullivan cooperating (okay...confession, we took this after we fed him :).
