Saturday Mornings

-
Most mornings we leave before the sun is out, but Saturday mornings we stay in. Rory hasn't yet reached the age where she sleeps in, so when 7:30 rolls around (the rule is they have to stay in their room until 7:30 on Saturday mornings), she is bright-eyed and ready to be up and about. I try to take advantage of light whenever I can on a Saturday morning, because (1) there's sunlight and (2) she manages to look so darn cute in the morning. Seriously, wouldn't it be great if we all looked like this as we rolled out of bed?

(Because of the bright sun, every small angle changed up the white balance, haze, etc. I decided to leave the editing alone and just let them be the way they came out of the camera.)

She always plays it cool and pretends her mom isn't right in her face with the camera.

Those lips crack me up.

Love how you captured every single facial expression… the nose crinkle might be my favorite! And yes- adorable and unfair she rolls out of bed so pristine!!

Gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous!! And man, I'm jealous. I look *nothing* like that when I roll out of bed! ;-)

I love shooting in the early morning as well... but I get very frustrated with white balance as well. My kids move too quick for me to constantly monitor so I always flip to auto and then curse at myself when I'm editing. I think these look FABULOUS!

Not only is your daughter absolutely beautiful, but your photography skills have grown immensely. I was always envious of what a great photographer you were, ever since I first "met" you, but your photos now are spectacular. Can't wait to see the Disney pics!

The Scoop

Our meeting with Dr. W today was fine. Not encouraging, but fine. I don't know why I expected better news, but I think it's hard not to hope that the bad news you hear is somehow wrong; that they've somehow made a mistake. Basically, the cancer is still the same as prior to chemo. Possibly a little larger, but he said it was hard to tell. He was glad that it had not returned to my bowel or colon (because that was a large part of my initial surgery), and my chest and lungs are still clear (apparently, this is the next place the cancer would go). It does not change my stage of cancer (still 3c), and remission is still a possibility, but he said that it would be very tough to get there.  There are several more drugs that we can try, which is good, but unfortunately they each have a success rate of only 25%. It's a little too early to be considering clinical trials because hospitals who hold the trials like for the patients to have tried the more main-stream drugs firs

1. Thanks to Andrea for driving me to chemo today. I'm always a little anxious on the way in and the very few times I've had to drive myself, it's been a little lonely coming home. But not today. 2. A fellow chemo patient today thought I was in my 20's. Score.  ("score" would be a term I'm borrowing from Becky ) 3. I did not wear a scarf today to chemo, and all the nurses and doctors did a double take since they didn't recognize me. So wierd. I recognize me with hair, bald, and with a little puppy fluff. 4. Dr. W. is adding Avastin , a new drug which will help prevent cancer cells from growing, to my current Gemzar routine. Good news is that it won't make me feel any worse. Bad news is that in a small percentage of patients it causes severe side effects involving blood clots, kidney failure, ulcers, and holes in your bowel. Good times. 5. I've been instructed to head directly to my primary care doctor for blood pressure medic

Scenes from the Soccer Field

So I may not have apologized yesterday about the number of pictures, but I am definitely going to today. Because  coughcough thirty coughcough just might be excessive. And probably my family will be the only ones who look at all of them. But I don't care. :) By the way, we completely lost and did not even score a goal yet again. Rory tried really, really hard. This team was head and shoulders bigger than we are, way more coordinated than 4 year olds should be and their coach kept their A team in the entire game. Even after scoring some 15 goals. Oh, well. Rory still enjoyed herself. Which way is the goal again? Notice her position in this picture. Notice how she passed the girl next to her? No, I am not competitive at all. Not sure where the other team is. Oh, wait. There they are. See how much bigger they are? You'll notice she almost always runs with her mouth open. Either that or her tongue hang
