We had Fiona baptized on November 1st. Meeting the church requirements was tough with our schedule, her godparents schedule, and the big storms that hit Houston. But we did and they worked us in for November, which was better with the godparents travel plans and limiting exposure during flu season. And it also happened to be when Nick's brother Terence was already visiting (although I did not manage to get any good pictures of him). Most everything got cancelled due to the flooding rains, so he did not get to see any football or soccer from our kids. We had a nice time though eating, watching college football, enjoying Halloween and the baptism. Thanks for a great visit Terence!
I made a cake. Thrown together last minute, so not very professional looking :)

Our family of 5. We are so wonderfully blessed!
5 month panda shot.
This is what she does with her lip all the time right now. That and she loves making raspberries/fizthbiths.
When you try to get a good picture of your kid moving and she makes this face...
I hosted a Thanksgiving countdown chain playdate.
And we went to a playdate today and Zoey got paint on her forehead.
I am taking an online photography class from a grad school friend. She is an amazing photographer and inspired me to get my macro lens back out. And also try a few other exercises. For the macro, I found flowers in the parking lot at Zoey's school. They were there at drop off and still at pick up, plus they had calla lillies, so I figured I was meant to have them. My friend uses water a lot, so I tried that. I got some really cool shots, there are 2 favorites.
For one exercise, I was trying to get emotions and work with the light I had. I wanted to do a set up outside, but it was too cold. So I got Zoey by the window.
You can really see her eye color and variance here.
Such cute expressions.
Love the lip biting.
And we were also supposed to capture detail. Her hair is so amazing, she gets so many compliments on the color and curls. I wanted to get a good shot of that detail.
Another exercise was to get eye contact without smiles. I also wanted to capture the detail of how Fi sucks her thumb with the pointer finger on her nose. I need to do some editing to these, but no time today. Such a sweet baby girl! Hard to believe she is almost 6 months!
Happy Thanksgiving!
