Here are some amazing pictures my sister-in-law Laura took of Kinnie. Laura is an amazing photographer! Kinnie was not very cooperative and yet Laura was still able to capture some great pictures of her. At first Kinnie was scared of the bright flash in the studio and then when she warmed up to that she had nothing to do with wanting to sit still for even a second. She just wanted to run around or look at the camera, anything besides sit where we needed her to. We would stand her on the couch and she would want to immediately get off and run around. Really, thanks to Laura we got some fun pictures. Of course we can't post them all so here are just a couple...

No Crying???...

I took Kinnie in for her flu shot today. I thought for sure she would cry and she didn't! I was stunned. I kind of looked at her like are you sure you don't want to cry? Go ahead, cry. You were just stripped of your pants, laid down on a weird table with weird tissue paper in a weird room and stabbed in the leg. It was kind of funny when the nurse was done, we just looked at each other and were both like well, that was easy. Even after picking Kinnie up to give her the comfort I thought she was going to need I thought maybe she would cry then. Kinnie did give her look she gives when she gets slightly hurt, she furrows her eyebrows and drops her jaw. But no tears. Unfortunately she has to get another 2nd part flu shot and her next set of vaccines in about a month, maybe she will want to cry then.


We are loving the weather. I keep thinking that it is colder then it is and am surprised at how warm it really is when we go outside. I love the colors of fall, they are so bright and warm. I am not looking forward to winter when it is so gray, and white and black...and cold and wet. At least we have the holidays to get us through it!
