Pictures by QB!



My BFF, Queen Bee, came to the house and
took a few pictures of the kids.

I have to be sure and do this.
We have about 10,000 pictures of Caleb-kid #1,
5,000 of Hannah- kid #2, about 1,000 of Ben- kid #3...
Do you see where I am going with this?



So I am trying to play catch up!

I don't want my kids sitting around telling some
therapist that "Mom had more pictures of *?*, because
she loved him more!"


I love these pictures of Mary.

Every time I take a picture of her I check to see if she "looks sad".

Mary Beth Chapman said(in an interview) that"these little girls always
look like they have this unexplained sadness."

I read that while we were in the process of adopting Mary. I thought
about it all the time. It is just one of those things that you hear and you
can't shake. I find myself looking at her sometimes.....trying to figure out
if she is sad and doesn't know why.

I don't see it. I've never seen it.

She is wild, crazy,and joyful, all of the time.

And my friend has caught that in these pictures.

What a gift.

Peace.

  2. What great pics! She is sooo cute. QB has a gift. She really captures the essence of the child's personality.
    I've never seen the sadness. Hacked off because she couldn't have another sucker maybe, but not sadness. That child doesn't have a melancholy bone in her body!
