Do you notice a trend here? I seem to be fixated on taking B/W photos of Sophia. Must be the subject matter.

Not as good as the last few, but I kind of like it:

I’m creating a new category just for these Black and White candids:http://hillabolt.com/category/black-and-white/

Grandma Marilyn, Grandpa Steve, Auntie Kim, Emily and Logan all came down on Friday night, so we could all meet Logan. He is such a good baby…adorable and has a ton of dark hair! His big sister Emily is such a good helper, too!!

Saturday we all went down to Winterset for a late […]

I’ve been meaning to post this picture, that I took a few weeks back. It was shortly after taking a bath in the whirlpool tub.

I just love the overall contrast of the picture and the serious look she has on her face.

Any comments?

From our family to yours, we hope everyone had a great holiday.

Sophia made out pretty well this year. Check out what “Santa” brought:

Today was the day my parents came over to celebrate the holidays with us. And just to keep things interesting, we decided to have Chili instead of: <insert traditional holiday grub>

Anyway, Sophia and Derek […]

All good things must come to an end!! It’s been exactly 11 weeks since our lives suddenly changed. I can’t believe how fast the time has gone!! Today is Derek and my last day of being all alone and Sophia’s last day at Baby School.

I will be heading back to […]

Monday was a hectic day, with everyone except Kevin having Dr. Appt. Kevin took Sophia to the ENT for her ear check-up. Luckily the new ear drops and antibiotics seemed to do the trick. He said everything was looking great. So with that and the fact that Sophia won’t be going […]
