Photo day

Today I took about 500 pictures. First, I took Adaya's 5 month shots. Later, I shot some friends. I just finished looking through them all. Wes and I had a good laugh over some of them. Here are a few of my favs (unedited)...
I should also mention that the point of the shoot with the girls was to get hair/makeup head shots for another friend's portfolio. So if anyone wants their hair or makeup done, ask me about our friend Colleen Baker. And yes, we did a few nice head shots for the portfolio (there are about 100 shots of each person), but sometimes it's the not so "nice" ones that become the favs.

At five months





This is the outfit that Wes's coworker brought back after a trip home to India. Adaya likes all the colors on the bottom edge.

110 days

A week ago, Sunday, I finished reading through my Bible. I started when Adaya was three weeks and my spinal headache had subsided enough to read. I read a lot of it out loud, which was challenging, at times. I read whenever Adaya was nursing. I've tried a few times to read through in a year, but have never succeeded. So the fact that I did so in less than 4 months, feels like I actually accomplished something usefull. It's interesting to read all of the scripture that compactly. I think it helped me look at it as a whole instead of verses and chapters and books. It helped bring the old and new testiments into a tighter relationship with one another. It brought to life some things that I maybe skimmed over in the past. I think it was a valuable thing to do. I don't know that I will ever read it again like that, that was a lot of reading. But now that I am done, it feels like I don't read my Bible enough. It's an odd feeling really.
