While these aren’t the best shots from a photography standpoint, they are still my best shots for other reasons — the reasons that matter.
This was all their idea…
They claimed to be “Kitty Finders” — complete with safari gear and Disney Princess backpack. Because, you know, what kind of a safari would it have been without a complete Disney Princess entourage, a tutu, and total disregard for proper footwear?
These are the kinds of moments I want to wrap up and keep forever…
And thanks to a little video clip, I can!

I love it!!! I love the way kids go ALL out! And Kyle is talking so much! How old is he now? Preston is just now starting to gain on his vocabulary! Isn’t it so cute to hear them say new things?

Kitty finders - I love it! We could have used them last week when our kitty went missing for a couple days. Thankfully he’s back safe and sound.

Those are the cutest kitty finders I have ever seen. Ever!

They are so cute! I trust your doing well. I see that they are growing fast.

Love it! They look so Hollywood! Adorable. Makes me smile.

That has me laughing, how fun! Wait, did they find the kitty?
September 30th, 2008 at 10:02 pm
Now I don’t think I’ve ever seen such cute ‘kitty finders’.
I love how the cat walks right through the hallway and neither of them notices!

It’s these moments that mean the most to US, not to others. That’s what makes these photos so special. Photographs taken by professionals are usually taken for others benefit to pass the pictures on to family members. But these photos are precious, they hold so much more than the face of our little child.

Beautiful shots Michelle. As always.

Pictures and a video to boot. Yea! They remind me so much of mine–older girly girl and a little Superman. Wouldn’t it be nice to spend the day just being a kitty finder? Oh to be a kid again.

Hee hee-the outfits are priceless!!
October 2nd, 2008 at 8:22 am

Fabulous pics! I love the imagination children have, and wish we could all hang on to it.
October 4th, 2008 at 6:28 pm
What great imaginations they have! I love the pictures, that is just too cute :).
October 5th, 2008 at 3:24 pm
So where is the kitty? Did they find the kitty? LOL More importantly, Jacqui found her hat! Whew!
Isn’t it great that Kyle is now old enough to join Jacqui’s escapades? Lucky you.
I adore the outfits and equipment. Really, could we bottle their imagination and profit?
