I’m almost done packing for our trip… Mateo and I will be gone for 2 months and I am so stressed out about how he’s going to do with it all… 8 plane rides, sleeping in 4 different places, time change, etc… I might need a holiday after our holiday! LOL I doubt I’ll be…

It is so snowy in Calgary right now it’s nuts! Snow is lots of fun though! I had a great time playing in the snow over the weekend with some friends!

Very nice captures!

I love the way the snowflakes look against the dark coat. Very pretty snow, but I’m not ready for it yet.
November 19, 2008 - 2:19 am
Gorgeous! This almost makes me wish for snow… almost. 
I love the shot of all three of them around the tree.
November 19, 2008 - 2:20 am
Wowo these are great! Love the color blue of his eyes!
November 19, 2008 - 2:49 am
My fave is the 2nd one – but love them all!!
November 19, 2008 - 3:20 am
Beautiful pictures, I especially like the last one. Have fun in the snow!
November 19, 2008 - 6:23 am
Wow…these are beautiful shots!! I hear it’s hard to nail exposure in snow becuase of all of the reflection…but these are perfect!!
November 19, 2008 - 10:50 am
These are the most darling pictures. I love the family pictures. You have really managed to keep them real and beautiful.
November 19, 2008 - 12:27 pm

November 19, 2008 - 1:22 pm
Wow, awesome snow photos! But I’m glad I’m not there, LOL!
November 19, 2008 - 2:19 pm
Great shots!
November 19, 2008 - 4:47 pm
Eeeks! But this looks like “happy snow.” And then there’s evil, nasty snow.
I had another photo shoot with the twins and it was fun! The sun was right in our faces and there wasn’t much shade at all though, so I had a hard time with that… I guess I need more practice in crappy lighting situations!

Love their hats! I really like that shot with their two sweaters. That last one is my favorite. Cute!
November 11, 2008 - 12:54 am
Love the dual sweater shot…very fun comp.
November 11, 2008 - 1:04 am
Oh what adorable little ones.
November 11, 2008 - 1:04 am
What a handful! They are adorable. My favorite shot is the second to last one.
November 11, 2008 - 1:10 am
Great photos, I too love those hats. I hear you on the crappy lighting situations I need practice on it too.
Is this at a park? if so which one?
November 11, 2008 - 1:14 am
They are so cute! I love the colors in these photos!

The sweater shot is adorable! It looks like you did a good job handling the sun. I don’t see any shadows on their faces.
November 11, 2008 - 1:48 am
The shot of half their sweaters is so cool!!! Love it!!
November 11, 2008 - 2:05 am
I think you did a great job!! Kids are so hard at that age and it’s harder when there are two of them! They are precious! Love the shot of their arms…too cute! Love your processing on these too!!
November 11, 2008 - 2:20 am
love the hand shot, very cute.
November 11, 2008 - 2:27 am
I think you did a FABULOUS job! The lighting is nice and even in all of these! They are just too cute, I can never get enough of them!
November 11, 2008 - 2:54 pm
Are they just so cute. Love the shot you got of thier sweaters fun.
November 11, 2008 - 3:08 pm
They are so cute! I love that last shot of the family.
November 11, 2008 - 7:22 pm
You have some great natural poses! Love the feel. One of my fav’s is that red sweater one. That is great composition, and color!
Cheers,

November 11, 2008 - 7:31 pm
Yvette, It isn’t a park it’s a back yard a pretty nice one too!
November 12, 2008 - 12:08 am
I think you did awesome! I love the shot of 1/2 of each sweater! So creative! Nice work!
My little guy got a cast today because he fractured his little arm He’s not enjoying the darn cast at all, poor thing.He’s figuring out how to eat with his left hand…At least he can still kick his ball around!

Poor BABY….at least he got the stylish red cast. He looks like he is still keeping his chin up.
November 8, 2008 - 1:16 am
Ohhhhh – so sorry he hurt himself!! He is a cutie!!
November 8, 2008 - 1:16 am
Awww, poor little guy! He looks like he’s going to be a really fast learner in figuring out interesting ways to adapt. How long does he have to keep it on? And how did he do this? With my daughter, it was falling out of a tree. . .
November 8, 2008 - 1:40 am
Aww, poor guy! I hope he heals quickly. My DD broke her wrist when she was about 7 and was completely healed in 3 weeks!
November 8, 2008 - 1:54 am
Oh poor thing…I know how he feels! I broke my foot last year and it stunk! Hope he heals quickly!
Cari
November 8, 2008 - 2:20 am
Poor guy! I love the red cast though. I think my choices were hot pink or white. 
November 8, 2008 - 3:11 am
Oh NO!!! Poor baby boy! I hope he heals SUPER fast! How did he get hurt, did he fall?
November 8, 2008 - 4:21 am
I don’t even know how it happened, I know, I sound like such an awful mom not even knowing how my kid broke his arm… He did fall but it was just like any other fall, or so I thought 
He’ll have it on for about 3 weeks
November 8, 2008 - 1:40 pm
Poor kiddo!! The lucky thing is that little ones heal so darn quickly. Hope he’s doing ok.
November 8, 2008 - 3:41 pm
Ahhh poor baby I hope hes not in to much pain. my ds#4 used to wear superman pjs all the time so his brothers told him he really could fly so he tried and he broke his arm he was only 3 I felt so bad for him.
November 9, 2008 - 2:58 am
Awww…bless his heart! That is no fun!! I’m just waiting for my 3year old to break something. He is so active and spastic!!
I can’t believe it… So many peas are still having fun taking “fall pictures”, but not us… The trees are bare and the “white stuff” is here. At least the kids like it

November 6, 2008 - 1:06 am
These photos are great! So fun. We are expecting a rain snow mix this weekend…we are in the Chicago area. YIKES! I hate snow!
Cari
November 6, 2008 - 1:08 am
Wow awesome snowy pictures. I love fall and I love snow in winter its the time in between that kind of challenges me. Love your 2nd pic. ~Jackie
November 6, 2008 - 1:18 am
Brrrrr just looking at it. Great pics though!!
November 6, 2008 - 1:39 am
Holy MOLY..look at all that snow. Its actually really inspiring to see it. Its really amazing.
November 6, 2008 - 1:45 am
Oh boy! I always think we have long winters here in Maine, but no snow yet this year. It was in the 60s today (which is unusual).
November 6, 2008 - 1:56 am
I really, really like the ones where it is just the red suit against the stark white snow! Plus, that angled close-up is a keeper! I envy you your snow. I am wishing… ML
November 6, 2008 - 1:59 am
Wow! These are great captures! I will no longer roll my eyes when my sons complains it’s too cold at 60.
November 6, 2008 - 2:05 am
WOW….very neat! But you can keep it for a couple more months.
November 6, 2008 - 3:23 am
snow? wow! yeah, we are still enjoying our fall color but I’m starting to get ready for snow. love the second shot–such a cutie.
November 6, 2008 - 4:51 am
That seriously amazes me considering we hit the 80s a couple days ago in Texas. Love the snow, but I think I could only handle it for a couple weeks a year.
November 6, 2008 - 8:22 am
those are great shots!! You can have all the snow tho
November 6, 2008 - 2:06 pm
Wow. Fun shots. Looks like the snow made for some fun playtime.
November 6, 2008 - 2:21 pm
Can’t wait! We’re to get some tomorrow…i LOVE snow, but I’m the resident weirdo arould here, just you wait and see how many snow pics I post.
November 6, 2008 - 2:59 pm
Oh, man I know that is right around the corner here for us in MN as well. I am glad we are not there yet.
Great shots!
November 6, 2008 - 3:31 pm
Oh wow thats crazy! I hate winter but I just love how crisp winter shots are. These are great!
November 6, 2008 - 4:39 pm
No! No! Say it ain’t so! I love the 3rd photo. . . (because the snow’s not there!) And he’s so darn cute.
November 6, 2008 - 5:22 pm
Oh brrrrr….that makes your winter sooooo long! Love the red snowsuit against all that white, though.
November 6, 2008 - 6:54 pm
I love snow! Of course that may be because we might get an inch or two a year.
November 6, 2008 - 11:09 pm
Gorgeous shots!! I wish it snowed here.
