i am glad I am nto the only one with swaps on their mind
i lay in bed at night dreaming of all the stuff i want to make, what i need to buy to do it, hmmm...if i tweak this that way will it still work...etc etc...
I will try to dig thru and see if i can find a pic of me too, although it will be an old one, I was much cuter before i had kids went back to work, started not ever sleeping etc..etc...etc...
Ok, I found one- taken this summer only because I went and got the neighbor across the street to take one of our family before dh left for a military assignment ( you never know what could happen....he is home safe now). We used this one for our Christmas card.
Tawnya -- you have to have the kids take one of you! That's the only reason I have one of me right now ... Kenna took it when I cut my hair last week, lol!
And the one I put in my sig line i only have because we went on a train ride last week with some friends and my friend's dh took the camera and was taking pics for me Since it's just me and the kids, I never get any pics of the three of us, I am always taking the pics of them!

Heather, Liisa doesn't have any teeth out. A while ago the top front almost showed but it looks like they receded. But she sure is big, she is just over 5 months and most of her clothes are for 12month olds, some of the sleeves are getting short
She is wearing pants Bonnie made on the pics. Unfortunately as of the last weekend they are too tight. I have to order a new pair, size large. I don't know what size she wears otherwise because all she has is longies I have made to measure and she doesn't wear shoes.
But the cool thing is, she is learning to crawl. It is really cool most of the time, just makes it a tad hard while nursing, lol
Oh gosh, I go away for the afternoon and come back to these beautiful faces!! you are ALL gorgeous and I mean it. Now I will know who I am talking to!!Thanks for posting those!! If I posted a picture of me pre-children, it would be from 1991!!
Here is the most recent photo of me that I can stand:
and one about 2 weeks ago: note the flour covered shirt from bread baking!! My 7yo has been my belly photographer for 2 pregnancies now. I get what I pay for
I am hardly ever in our family photos either because I am the one behind the camera. I like it that way too!!
And Bonnie, your hair is AWESOME!! You just took 15" off? Did I read that right? WOWSER!

Thanks Tracey And yes, 15" is what I cut off. I had been threatening to do it for a long time and just never did. Last Wednesday, I got out of the shower, grabbed a pair of scissors and just cut a huge hunk off before I could chicken out. When I evened it all out, I was 15" shorter, lol! It's still fairly long though, still below my shoulders. I *may* go shorter once I get used to this length

thats what i did before I had Jaden, My hair was past my waist and i just had enough, I cut it to about mid back, so my SO coudl get used to it....(the silly things we do for men) and then after jaden came i hacked it all off to my chin. did that just before i had hunter too, nwo jaden loves that we both have hair to our waist....so i guess i get to cut mine if she ever cuts hers
i think you look beautiful Bonnie, and Tracey I love the belly pic YOu are gorgeous!

Wow, that is a lot of hair. Every pregnancy I let my hair grow long again (because those awsome preg. hormones thicken it up and make it shiny) and then after baby comes and I look like a mangy dog (I lose sooo much hair in the first year of nursing, it is a wonder I have any on my head) so I cut it short and usually regret it!!
Dh like is mid-length so I keep it there after the first year of nursing just so he keeps thinking I am HOT!! Or at least he says I am, so I guess that means I am!! LOL
Kris -- I totally always pictured you as being blonde, I have no idea why!
I didn't. I had Kris as a brunette and Bonnie as a blonde!! Don't know why!! Rebecca, I picture you as a light brown, how close am I?
I love seeing everyone's pics!! Such gorgeous crafty mamas. And I like that we represent different age groups, family sizes, etc as well. Very fun to have a unique group of women.
