It seems a long time ago now that I first read Shiver -- the first book in the Wolves of Mercy Falls trilogy. But looking back I started it on the plane ride to BEA and finished it there in the conference center, fingers gripping the cover tightly, while sitting on the floor in one of the many autograph lines. And now it's May again and BEA is right around the corner and I emerge from my recent and nasty reading slump stupor to find a copy of Linger sitting in my mailbox like a glove thrown down in the dirt. "I will be the one to pull you out," it whispers to me slyly. "Just open me up and take a sip. I promise--one sip is all it will take." And I look at it with fear and longing written all over my face. "You promise?" I ask intently. "Because it's been a long walk in the cold and I'm not sure I can take another disappointment." "Just open me up," it says, confidence written all over its cover. And so I do. And everythin
These are gorgeous photos (great costumes, too). Did you take them?
ReplyDeleteCute pics. Are these your kids? They are great photos! :)
ReplyDeleteSo totally adorable. And I love love love the last pic!
ReplyDeleteSo cute!!! Really great pics :)
ReplyDeleteAwww. :)
ReplyDeleteKMont, I did not. That honor belongs to DH. He gives good photo. More of his stuff over here.
ReplyDeleteBecky, they are, in fact, mine! Will (5) and Piper (15 months).
Li, grin, thanks! I'm partial to that one as well.
Mandi, I am lucky to have a photographer for a husband. The memories, they are captured.
Sara, hehe.
Adorable!! I seriously need to learn the secret of getting my kids to not run away from the camera...
ReplyDeleteYes, your hubby is a photography genius, but he also has very photogenic subjects. These pictures make me miss you all. Is that your front porch....I love the brick and I need to visit your home in person very soon. Jared has a job interview in Salt Lake tomorrow. Who knows what will come of it. But a girl can dream of moving closer to family.
ReplyDeleteSo cute! Will looks like serious Jedi business is afoot in the left one near the bottom.
ReplyDeleteOh my lord, Angie: these are gorgeous and I went to his blog and I was drooling al over his photos. VERY, very talented.
ReplyDeleteHi Angie :)
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing those incredible photographs. Your husband is very talented!
Your children look adorable too - great costumes too.
Love that last picture too. It so atmospheric.

All the best,

Jedi + Kiss = ADORABLE!
ReplyDeleteso cute!
ReplyDeleteCute, cute, cute!
ReplyDeleteJedi kisses are the best! ;)
Did your husband take these? Amazing pics. I love the costumes!!
ReplyDeleteYour kids are cuties. I love the kiss costume. And my husband would heartily approve of the Jedi and that cool picture of him with the glowing lightsaber. :)
ReplyDeleteAwesome pics, Angie! I can't believe how big Piper is already! It seems like just yesterday I was awwwing over her birth photo!
ReplyDeleteBritt, it really is a trick sometimes. My kids just never have a choice!
ReplyDeleteLiz, yup, that's our porch. And it's beginning to be a crime that you've never been here. Interview in Salt Lake, you say? Now wouldn't that be nice...
Allie, oh, believe me, he takes his Jedi business veeery seriously.
Ana, aw, thank you! :)
RK, my pleasure. I'm always fascinated to see what the boy will pick out each year. I imagine next year the girl will want a say as well. :)
Jessie, hehe.
Michelle, he did. He's there for all my photographic needs.
Janicu, since he already had the light-up lightsaber, he was all set to go once we got the robe. I love the atmospheric ones as well.
Christine, I know. I'm flummoxed by this as well. *shakes head*
Those photos are great! The kids look very cute and I hope they had a lot of fun. Tell your son his light saber skills look exceptional.
