Photo Shoot

A week or so ago i realized that i just so happened to possess a "Rose outfit". (AKA, something Rose Brier wears in the Fairy Tale Novels)

He wandered around aimlessly when suddenly he caught sight of Rose. She was carrying her violin and wearing a gypsy outfit, with a full red skirt, white shirt and a multi-colored headscarf.

Quite naturally, when i realized that Rose and i had the same outfit, i simply had to take some photos! My dear sister Yaviel willingly obliged me by trekking down to the 'coyote-infested' creek ;) and taking lots and lots of photos, some of which i decided to share with you. (Though i shall be honest and confess that i don't actually play the violin. Some of my siblings have, but quite frankly, i was never interesed. Vive the Piano!)

Of course, in return for this favor i had to "insult" her (The Mikado word for a bribe) by doing a photo shoot of her in her medieval dress. Now that i had a lot of fun with, because when she is think she makes the goofiest faces so i can't but help to take pictures of them. I don't do that, hence the reason there are goofy pictures of her and no goofy pictures of me. And also the fact that Yavi still looks pretty when she's making weird faces and i don't.

(Ha ha, for those out there who have seen the movie "Ever After", we captioned the last photo as "There was a bee." )

And those two would be captioned "You shall not pass!" and "Galadriel". (She'll probably kill me for putting up her Galadriel moment, so if you never hear from me again, that's why!)


So that was that! We had a lot of fun, i hope you enjoyed looking at the pictures, and Kathleen before you remind me, i know i still have to take pictures of you - i'm just waiting until it snows. Okay? Great!

Happy Birthday Rosebud!

A very happy 6th birthday Rosebud! May God bless you and Mary keep you on this special day!

With Love,

Happy Birthday to our Rosebud!

Due to Internet security reasons, we originally were not going to post any photo's of our flower's face...

But she's just so beautiful we decided otherwise!

Mary, you are our lovely little lady,

so elegant, sweet and dainty.

No matter what you are doing...

...Whether you are dressed as a saint (St. Maria Goretti)

...Or making your acting debut

...or learning archery

... or climbing rocks with your little brother and relishing the life of a 'sergeant'

... or proudly displaying your gorgeous artwork

...or receiving flowers from "your beau" ... or, like today, celebrating your birthday

You always have a beautiful smile, a charming laugh and a sweet little face.

May God bless our little "Rosebud" on her fifth birthday today, and always!

Happy Birthday Mary!

With love,
Your Big Sister!

Happy 14th Birthday Megan!
