The Garrison: Gotta Love JCP...Formerly known as JC Penny's

This is Mamma's favorite picture

I don't want to be a snob, but going to the mall for pictures? Heck ya!. I never thought I would do such a thing, but for $9 sitting (setting?) fee? Why not. It sure beats not doing pictures at all. Plus, I am now a member (don't be jealous you too can be a member) and for less than $30, we can go in anytime over the next 2 years and not pay any sitting/setting fees. What a deal. :) I ordered just a few pictures and it would have cost me more to send the digital image off to have printed.

Thank you Heidi for showing me how fun it can be. Heidi, her sister, brother and mom all showed up with their little girls with matching dresses. There was a 4yr old, 11 month old, 13 week old, 7 week old (Natalie) and a 2 week old there for photos. It was so much fun. Lots of funny noises could be heard down the hall while trying to get the babies attention. Ella was a hoot. Zola was sitting perfectly still and Ella was not. :) So fun! Natalie slept through it all. Here are some screen shots I have from her session. The last picture if of Heidi's girls and nieces.

I also have to mention something rather gross. Babies are often gross. Well, Natalie was on a 3+ week pattern of having a BM every other day. Well, yesterday was that other day. She pooped during her photo session. Go figure! Not cool at all. One shot that you don't get to see is of her straining. I will keep that for future use.

Looks like Daddy's eyes may be her final color

By the way, I am not going to lie, I saw some clothes and a swimsuit I thought were cute as I stolled by on the way to the photo studio. I am now a mom. I can wear something other than Patagonia and Anthropologie. Oh, wait. It isn't because I am a Mom, rather because we are not DINK's any longer. She is so worth it. Target dresses are super hot, right?
