I will soon be one of those annoying friends who breaks out photos of five years of plants growing. Just nod and be polite, umkay?
Since I got the Cannon T3i, a ridiculously expensive digital camera that can make a cave man a working photographer, I’ve been torturing the children to pose, and pose, and pose, and pose. This one is after the 100th, and Maxi-Me is giving me the look. But I didn’t realize The Babster was peeking over the rail and Clo Clo was hiding in the bushes. This one will definitely leave iPhoto purgatory and grace the stucco on the staircase.
…And since someone asked for more…
The last pic of your eldest daughter in a hat is just lovely
Adorable photos and such beautiful children! You know, most times when people say a mother and daughter look like sisters, it's a bit of a stretch (although the mom usually looks very pretty, it's clear she's the mom!)...
HOWEVER... you and your daughter totally look like sisters! I know you must love that... does she? :)
Your children are adorable. It is interesting how the oldest one is the darkest, the second daughter seems lighter, your son seems lighter still and then the youngest seems to be the lightest of them all, with a tan complexion and lighter hair. If you were to have another child, s/he would probably have a pink complexion with blond hair and blue eyes!

Well, isn't her eldest child not biracial? She had a child with black man while she was in college, if I remember the story correctly. It also makes sense that the younger children are "lighter" than the older children. Infants, toddlers and and young children usually have light hair, eyes and skin, including children with dark skinned parents. My siblings and I are all dark skinned now, but when we were young children, we is had lighter skin and hair. Nature is awesome!
Sweet pics. Thanks for sharing....
Luv the family photos.
Very beautiful pics
Sweet and darling photos! Lovely family! I look forward to seeing more families like yours in the future.
Love the pics! IMO, kids make the best subjects, particularly when they're not posing. My hubs gave me a Nikon DSLR for Christmas. The controls look like those on the space shuttle so I'm taking a class.
LOL, your daughter's stank eye just makes that whole pic. ROFL! Cute kids. :D
Your kids are so cute and Maxi-me looks a lot like you!
Is that a store or restaurant? I love the decor.
These are lovely pics....just lovely :-)
omg!!! i got myself the same dslr as an xmas gift. this is my first dslr and i have it on good authority that the canon t3i and nikon d5100 are the best entry level dslrs. i have been playing with it during my xmas vacation. its so much fun and the photos are really that good. iv shot mostly with the Program AE and the Scene Intelligence Auto modes. it will take a while playing with it, for sure, before i can take pics as good as you!!! BTW, if you ddnt, get a uv filter to protect the lens.
ooooh too cute!!! love the extra pics!! <3 ^.^
Maxi-me is so pretty. The little bit of the Babster that I see is too cute. Are you posting other pix of your kids?
Take a look at the post again...I updated it with more pics! You know...since you asked. ;-) Nikki J
Christelyn Haha that didn't take too much convincing now did it? I'm def glad I asked. I love looking at pics. Your kids are all so beautiful, that day looked fun.
How precious!

Aabaakawad totally!! haha
Beautiful young lady!
Oh you should tell her to smile!
T3i, that's the camera I lust for.
No one else can do blank stare quite like a teenager.
AabaakawadAmen to that. The teens rule in that area. Lovely young lady even without the smile.
Brenda55Aabaakawad agreed, she could be a model!
LOL! classic indeed! Babster is like that old graffiti image ~

& CC is sorta Where's Waldo-ing & stealth...invisibilty training? lolz
& yep, Mini's just had enough!
Tell me what you like and don't like about the camera when you get a chance. I'm taking a photography course next semester and while I believe we get to rent a camera from the journalism department I still want to purchase my own.
So are I like everything, except the battery life sort of sucks. I guess it's to be expected as there's a lot of power in it. It's just takes some getting used to--we have the OG cannon Rebel and the battery lasts really, really long, but it doesn't do half of what the new one does. Jamila
Christelyn Jamila I'll have to check it out the hubby and I have been thinking about a new camera. I'd ask my bestie but she's a photographer and every camera she owns is 400 bucks plus. So I need something fairly reasonably priced since we aren't photographers. LOL. You have some beautiful kids, I get a sense you're a proud mama. Love the photos.
LOL you "get a sense?" ahahhahaha...I'm ridiculously proud! hee hee. thanks. eugeniamitchell Jamila
Your children are adorable. It is interesting how the oldest one is the darkest, the second daughter seems lighter, your son seems lighter still and then the youngest seems to be the lightest of them all, with a tan complexion and lighter hair. If you were to have another child, s/he would probably be pink and blond-blue eyed!
You know what? Me and The Hubster say that ALL the time! Funny someone else picked up on that. With each child the melanin gets weaker and weaker! lol pioneervalleywoman
It certainly seems that way! But when it comes to black folks and genetics, we are all so mixed that "Mother Nature" has ample opportunity to spring some surprises.
Christelyn pioneervalleywoman i made a joke about running low on ink(like a printer) for one of our kids. lolz.
ForestElfQueenChristelyn pioneervalleywoman Forest you are a mess
