6 Month Photos

Here are a few of the photos from our photo session on Saturday. We got a lot of really good photos. I did not include the pictures that we picked for prints, so there are still some surprises. We did not know it but poor little Miranda was getting Ethan's cold that he brought back from kindergarten. It took some work and some silliness, but we managed to get some smiles out of her. Even when we didn't she was so very cute.

Even thought it was really about getting Miranda's 6 month pictures, the lady did an excellent job of including Ethan.

6 Months

It's hard to believe that 6 months ago today this little angel was born. She is such a blessing. Today we went to have her pictures taken. We are trying to do what we did with Ethan, so that we are fair to Miranda. Plus it is fun to compare what they look like at the same age.

Miranda has stranger anxiety plus being very tired made for an interesting time. The pictures turned out so good. Her crabbiness worked out to our advantage too, we got the cutest picture of her crying. We also got some great ones of her smiling. Ethan even got in the act and his favorite part was getting pictures on the motorcycle.

For Lisa

I was given a mission from Lisa, and I chose to accept it. Sue just got and her ears pierced and Lisa wanted pictures. So here is Sue with her studs still in.


After I took the others she decided she wanted to try to change her earrings for the first time. She thought it would be good while she had me there for back up. She wanted to put one of the pairs that Lisa got for her. In the middle of changing them she was completely disgusted by the fact that there were holes in her ears. Upon having difficulty taking the old ones out and putting new ones on she said "I almost wish I hadn't done this!" I told her it gets easier with practice. I saw her the next day and she said it was much easier getting the stud back in. Isn't she just adorable in these pictures!

Jim's 34 birthday in Frazier

I knew Lisa would like this shot.


Since we did not have traditional candles Sue thought this one worked. She figured Jim was 34 and 3+4 is 7.

Jim's birthday dinner

As is tradition in the Richard family, the birthday boy (or girl) gets to pick the meal. So Jim picked pizza for his dinner and here are some pictures.
