I hate cold and flu season!

The kids and I keep getting sick. Cassidy's got it this time. Poor thing has a terrible, terrible cough, runny nose, and fever. Now Chloe is starting to get it too. That means I'm next. Darnit! So, as much as I would love to go somewhere interesting and take pictures, we are homebound this weekend. I am getting pretty bored with all the pictures of Chloe sitting in my front yard, but I don't have many options at home. I don't have much natural light inside and my house is tiny, so I'm very limited with what I can do here. Once everyone is well, we will venture out to some different places and I'll try to get some more interesting shots. For now, here are a few I took today when we went outside to get some fresh air. Cassidy was feeling pretty yucky, but she actually let me take a couple pictures of her, amazingly enough. Here's one where she gave me a cute smile. Her face and nose are so red from her being sick and wiping her runny nose constantly, that I had to make it B&W.



And I just fell in love with this shot. I know that the focus landed on her lips instead of her eyelashes, but I don't even care. I love it. If she ever allows me to take her picture again, I'm going to try to replicate this one, only get the focus right, and then I will blow it up because I love it. :-)



Oh, and of course I have to throw in the obligatory picture of Chloe in the grass! I couldn't get the crop quite right without amputating the tips of her toes. Oh well, it's not like I don't have 5,000 other shots just like this!
