McDaniel Miracles

I saw this "old" picture in my collection, and it brought back so many memories! This was the picture I used for our birth announcements which I named 'McDaniel Miracles'. I remember trying to take a picture of Max and Myles to use for the announcement, and I got frustrated because one would constantly move. When I took this one, I loved it. I love babies in white, especially onesies! When I showed this picture to Sean, he told me it looked like Max was ready to punch Myles.

The announcement picture also reminded me of this picture. Once again, it looks like Max is ready to punch. Let's just say "personality"! I frequently tell Max, "Don't let anyone tell you that you don't have personality!" He most certainly does! So does his brother---and we are so glad! Both boys are so special and precious to us. We are reminded each day of God's gift to us, our MIRACLES!

I Love You to the Moon and Back!

Guess How Much I Love You is a book the boys, Daddy and I read together. If you're not familiar, it's about a rabbit and his dad who tell each other how much they love each other. It's a great story, and Papa Tim bought the boys this sign for Christmas. He also gave them their own book with a neat message in the front. It was great! I absolutely love this picture, especially after trying many times to take a family portrait for our Christmas card this year. I thought it would get easier to take pictures of these two, but it does not seem much different from the times I put them in the chair together to take a monthly picture. (You can see what I mean below. Notice how sweet Max's face is in the first picture. I guess one out of two was not bad...)





I'm going to try to be better about posting in 2011. I did not do well in 2010, so we shall see if I can improve this year!
