"I see Pooh!"

The picture above was published as the photo of the week in allears.com's newsletter! Yes, that's my little girl and I took the picture! The funny thing about this picture is that I took it in November. I knew it wasn't the best picture I've ever taken, so I sat on it until deciding this week to just send it in to Allears. It was chosen immediately. I had to crop it first to get rid of the flash. It's the first time a picture of mine has been selected, and I've been sending pictures in for years!

I was sitting in a Walt Disney World restaraunt, waiting for my daughter and husband to come back from the buffet table. Our seats were right by the windows and a line had formed in front of the window as people tried to get in to eat lunch. A little boy in Mickey ears smushed his face up against the glass looking in. We were enjoying a character meal, so Pooh, Piglet, Tigger and Eeyore were making their way around the tables, an awesome view for any little boy. I asked his mom if I could take his picture and she nodded, but I just didn't get the picture I wanted. I knew that it was a unique shot. So I had my husband and daughter go out there after our meal so that I could recreate the shot. This is the only one I got. I think the title had a lot to do with them choosing this picture. "I see Pooh!" is just funny!

A Star is Born!

This year, my daughter paricipated in a Dance recital again. It was our second recital. It was just as time consuming as last years recital was, and just as worth it once again! This year, we did feel more comfortable and knew what to expect, and thus were better prepared. I took most of my photos at the dress rehearsal. This is because the school asked that we not take pictures during the performance, and I like to get action shots as well as posed pictures! I did take a picture of my daughter with her Grammas and Auntie after the show. I like to remember who was there. Tickets are in high demand and we were blessed to get 2 extras this year. I also spent a good deal of time trying to get one of the 3 of us that was perfect. I'm very picky and this is a big night, so I was a bit grumpy with my loved ones as it seemed to take awhile to get a shot of my husband, the star and myself that I would settle for. The picture above is the last picture I took. She looked so adorable in her white coat and was holding her flowers with so much happiness. She had practiced really hard before this recital and it showed! She had done a stand out job, and we were all so proud of her. My sister and I both cried during her ballet number. She was like a beautiful angel!
