Today it was a balmy 57 degrees in the Kansas City area… quite a heat wave compared to what we have had lately, and so I got out with my monthly photo partner, Ashlee Tollett, and we photographed our kids. Let’s just say that this is getting harder and harder, our kids are not cooperating like they used to. I even pulled out the big guns and was bribing Solomon with candy and it didn’t work. He’s officially become immune to bribes for photos, sigh, I guess I will just have to get better at being a photojournalist.

 

Silas turned 9 months a few days ago and being the wonderful second child that he is, I decided that I had to get a photo of him, because I hardly ever do. I mean, who can resist this gorgeous face? I guess I regularly do, chalk it up to photographing other people so often that I hardly ever want to haul my camera around or set up shoots just for him. Poor guy, I need to schedule him in again. Solomon had fun with his best friend, Asher, until he kicked dirt and soot all over him while Ashlee was taking a photo of Silas and I. They resumed their friendship over a pile of cars and trucks back at Ashlee’s house a few minutes later, which is something I feel like we all could learn from. We had a lovely evening at the Tollett’s and am so thankful for the nice weather today!
