Trip to the portrait studio

So we took the kids to the portrait studio yesterday, and they had a blast. These are just a few of the 108 shots that they ended up taking. I think they did a really good job. This place up in one of the strip malls did an hour shoot, took muliple poses and props, printed the ones we wanted immediately and gave us a CD with all the pix for $100. Not bad.

This first pose was the last picture of the day, and the pose was Emma's idea:
This was one I wanted. Colin's touching Emma's new nose ring.

The photographer really got the boy to ham it up.

This shot is for Grandpa Ferrigan:

Good ones of Emma too:

The group ones were good as well.

I'll try and get the rest of them up on Flickr later this week. Hope you enjoy them as much as we did!

Thanks for stopping by. Stay classy.

Just a smidge

Sorry gang - we've been busy - haven't done a posting in a reasonable amount of time. Here's a few things to tide you over. I've got more pix from Colin's first bowling experience on the way as well . . .

First up - the weather's getting better, so we've busted out the swimming pool toys . . .

He's playing coy for some reason.

The one good shot of Grandpa Ferrigan with the kids:

Colin 'helped' Emma clean her room recently, to hilarious results:

I've got some video to put up from the cleaning experience - have it up later this week . . .

Thanks for stopping by, stay classy.

It's been a while

Well, since Emma's moved back to Ohio, we've been busier than a one-legged man in a butt kicking contest.

Fortunately, we've captured quite a few photos, and these are just from my camera. Emma's been snapping more pictures that we can keep up with, so I'll have even more stuff to offer.

First up, Colin finally got his big boy bed two weeks ago. We did some rearranging as a result. He loves the new bed, and actually, you know, stays in it each night, so bonus.

Mary bought the boy a Lightning McQueen umbrella a few weeks back. Here's some of the shots of that night:

Grandma Sammie sent Colin and Emma some presents last week - the boy's going over his haul:

Emma and Colin, just goofin'

Grandpa Ferrigan came to town on Thursday, so Friday night we went down to Northside and had dinner with Mollie, Paul and Ruby at Boswell Alley:

And here's a little video to go along with things. First up, my children - behaving like my children:

Next, Colin bouncin' round the couch:

Lastly, Colin bouncin' round his big boy bed:

That's all for now - more to come shortly. Thanks for stopping by. Stay classy.

A Brief Series of Poor Pictures

Sorry gang, a whole lot of nothing going on lately. We did the Carew Climb again this year two weekends ago, but we realized that the battery in the camera was dead after we got there, so no shots from that . . .

Last weekend Mary and Colin went to Wolf Run to visit with Yonk, June and Auntie Judy - but no pix from that . . .

Sister Emma is coming to live with us tomorrow, so we might ramp up the photos in the coming weeks . . .

'til then - here are some of the outtakes from the previous several weeks. He's decided that he doesn't like having his picture taken lately for some reason . . .

I asked him to smile in the shot below. Here's what he did:

Chip off the old block, that one. He finally smiled this evening, and he was out of frame, natch:

Best shot of the lot, which isn't saying much, as you can see:

Another attempt at a smile - out of frame:

He finally agreed to give Buttercup a kiss - but it was out of focus. Clearly, there are some nights when we here at colinferrigan.blogspot.com shouldn't even try. Tonight was one of those nights.

'sall for now. Hopefully, more (and better) to come soon.

Thanks for stopping by.

Stay classy.
