The Game-the one game played by my alma mater that is televised every year, the Bulldogs vs. If you know that I was head manager of our college football team, then you understand what that morning means to me. ![]() November 17th-the Saturday before Thanksgiving. The only date she had left was November 17th. We got back from Portland and, with Back to School activities and some crazy family drama, it was November before I got back in touch with Christine. Thankfully she understood and we agreed to rebook after we got back from Portland. I don't know what I was thinking! The day before the shoot, I called Christine begging her if we could postpone because I had a million things to take care of before our trip. The first time we scheduled the shoot was for the day before we were to drive 12 hours to Portland in August. What does all of this have to do with Christmas Cards? Well, I got it in my head that if I had a professional photographer ( Christine Szeto, check her out!) take photos of our family, she would be able to get smiles out of my kids and some great shots which I could use for our Christmas Cards and to make a photo book for E, finally.

In this day and age, nobody prints out photos. For both H&R, I made a photo album for their first birthday party chronicling the first year of their lives. Sad to say, neither does Princess E, yet. I remember the episode of Roseanne where DJ finds out that he doesn't have a Baby Book. Everyone knows the third kid gets slighted.
