Finally getting around to it.

I'll never forget when I was young, my Papaw had a

little disc that was just a bit larger than a drink

coaster.

Across the top it said,

'A Round'

and across the bottom it said,

'Tuit'

Scratching your head? Say it together, out loud.

In the middle was a little explanation.

I'm paraphrasing:
'Remember all those times you've put something

off until you got 'A Round Tuit?'

Well, now you've got no excuse-here's your very

own 'Round Tuit!'

Corny, right? But so true. I'm probably the world's

worst procrastinator. Although I am finally getting

better. How many things have gone undone because

I just couldn't get around to it? How many things sit

not put away because I never got around to it? How

many pictures not taken because I never got around

to taking them?

All that to say I finally got around to taking Emmie's

one year pictures that I've been wanting to take

since she was, well, a year old. She's 14 months now.

Better late than never, I suppose.

And they came out really well,

if I do say so myself. :)

These are just a few that I really like and have

already edited. BTW, you photogs out there-just

wondering-do you edit all your pics? I feel the need to

edit most of these because the sun was in and out,

causing the light to be different in just about each

one. Do you ever just keep the SOOC pics? I'm always

afraid I'm going to overedit them and make them

look bad. I only edit copies just in case, even though

I know that Photoshop Elements keeps an original.

These were taken out beside our house. Her hair was brushed,

but the wind kept blowing it around, and in the end,

I really didn't care. I think it looks fine.

The rocking chair was Paul's when he was little.

Sweet, huh?

I took about 120 pics before she got frustrated with

me, and it helped that the cat joined us halfway through.

The cat is prominent in several of the shots (I may

share those later) but I didn't really mind because

he kept her occupied and excited.

Now if I could just get the other kids (Noah especially)

to cooperate, I could do group pics, but I haven't

gotten brave enough to try yet.

But maybe, one day, I'll get around to it!

TTFN,
