Happy Chinese New Year

The year of the Ox....

Lily and Ty LOVE wearing their China clothes (as Lily calls them). The other day...... on one of our many arctic temperature days...... they had a little dress up and photo shoot... wearing their China clothes. They thought it was so much fun and kept their outfits on all morning.



I love all of their different facial expressions.... the following expressions are SOOOOO
Lily and Ty






Here is what Ty looks like when he doesn't get his way.... he was mad that I woudn't let him use MY camera......

Getting a little happier after I told him I would help him take a picture with mom's camera.
I love this picture, this little man, and his chubby cheeks so much.

Here is what Lily thought of that idea......
This is her very serious.... I think this is a bad idea expression....
These are the times when I swear she is almost 4 going on 40


This picture makes me think of when she was a little baby....



They were making angels on the floor..... hee hee
I couldn't help but take a picture... I wanted to freeze this moment forever.



Lily THE THINKER...... she is so silly and funny but can also be very serious and quite a little thinker.... She had no idea I was taking this picture...
This picture just melts my heart....she is my little beauty.
I love her BIG personality and her so much.

I gave them this fan to play with and they thought it was such a riot to hide behind it..

My mouth dropped on the very last photo of Lily Bug with the fan...wow! My favorite of Ty Baby was when he was realizing he would be getting his hands on moms camera. heehee Your children are breathtaking!

Hi Tiffany! these are all so adorable! I love Lily's serious look and also the one of her laughing. Ty is just so sweet~ how you could you NOT let him use your camera with that face. :)
Happy Lunar New Year!

I've been wanting to ask for months now, and this set of photos finally gives me the courage to do so... Tiffany--How much would you charge to come over for the afternoon and take photos of my Joseph and Alex... I'm serious! You take absolutely beautiful photos. Email me if you are interested, You could bring the "littles." Alex would love getting to know other children that are adopted! And it would help distract Joseph and Alex and get them to pose less... dobos.1@osu.edu.

Ooo new page design!! The expressions on those adorable faces...those pictures are just priceless. Tiff, you're really an amazing photographer!! It's neat that you tell us what those faces are saying...Ty's little pout...how do you not just give in?! 'Big Sister' seems to suit Lily very well!

Tiffany these are the most beautiful pictures. They captured so many expressions, I could just keep going back and looking at them over and over again. Loved Ty's pout and loved Lily's deep thinking. So precious. Happy Chinese New Year to your family too! Hugs from Miss E...and me!

Don and Denise Sullivan said...

Beautiful photos and the expressions you captured! I love Lily's butterfly hairclip too. Nate is just now starting to like his chinese outfit. I put it on him last Sunday for church and he thought the clasps were so cool. Then he thought it was great when dad walked out in his chinese shirt too. Good times!

Faith, Hope, and Love said...

Hello my friend! I hope you had a nice weekend! I wanted to let you know that I left you an award on Mia Hope's blog. No need to follow thru with it...just wanted to recognize how special you are to me!

Love,
Robin
