Now that we’re back from vacation, I’m taking another week off from writing to catch up on my reader. So I’ve selected five posts from the archives using a sophisticated random selection system based on The Price is Right rules of play (or something like that). Here is the LAST oldie-but-goodie-but-now-I-think-everything-I-wrote-back-then-sucked-why-did-I-decide-to-commit-to-posting-every-day-this-summer-again?…Enjoy!
Yes Sir, That’s My Baby

I’m so in love with my tree this year… And if you think that that sounds ridiculous, then you never read this.
Anyway – my photography skills are mediocre at best but I did try. Seriously, I think I took more pictures than a new mother does the day she brings her baby home from the hospital.
Since my actual children refuse to be still (let alone wear clothes) for a nice holiday photo, I might have to consider using one of the images above for our holiday card. I’m just kidding of course – like I ever get around to sending out cards…
I had some even better shots, but those damn human children keep leaning into the branches, knocking bows askew and breaking ornaments.
But I must say – if Oliver was my only child, this would definitely be our (theoretical) holiday card:
Okay – so maybe the tree isn’t really my favorite baby… MAYBE!
Wow, that photo at the end with Oliver is fantastic.
One of the benefits of being single again (is it easy to say this?) is that the tree gets to be the variety I like, with the lights and ornaments I want. My kids are teens so I have to let them help, but I totally understand the Nazi desire to totally control it. Even with your kid's angelic look at the end.
When this post popped up in my reader, I thought you had already decorated this year! I'm so relieved that wasn't what this was about.
