Mini Insomniac

March 19, 2008 by Alison Hodgson 4 Comments

This was taken several weeks ago, when Paul was out of town, right after my sister’s family returned from Vancouver.  I FOOLISHLY agreed to keep Rendini for a sleep over.  Number 1: a woman whose husband is on another continent should never add to the number of children under her care, especially, Number 2: one who is still on Pacific Time.

This photo was taken after midnight as Ren and I snuggled in for a sleepover.  The kid finally passed out around one.
But who could resist this sweet face?
“I’m happy I’m here.” She said while we were taking pictures.
“Oh, that’s a good one.” She said when we reviewed them.
I think so too.

    good to see that you still have some of “them” up the sleeve to surprise us with.
    She definitly has the photographic eyes/gene to spot a good shot.

    What a stinky peanut.
    She was cracking herself up looking at me flaring her eyes on the “really, really’s.”

    Sunva,

    Oh, I’ve got about a thousand, up my sleeve. Don’t you worry. Then there’s always the possibility of new work.

    Rennie,

    I LOVE YOU TOO!

    IT’S TOO EARLY TO PICK FLOWERS, BUT IT WON’T BE LONG.

    I REALLY LIKE YOUR HOUSE. I LIKE HOW SUNNY IT IS AND ALL THE BEAUTIFUL ARTWORK, ESPECIALLY YOURS!

    I WANT YOU TO COME VISIT SOON!

    Torey,

    All those caps are wearing me out. Thanks for helping her type all the love. Wow.

    She’s not moving back, but I would happily lend her any one of her cousins on a long lease.

    I’ll tell her myself.
