Today I trekked out to the boonies of North-East-ish Texas to meet sweet Holden and his oh-so-cool parents. It was a gorgeous drive, with lots of back country roads, small towns, and abandoned houses. I had hoped to stop on the way back and photograph a few of the sights, but then got the call that my most recent framing order was ready to pick up, so I boogied back to Dallas.
Next time…
Until then-14 day old Holden was an absolute doll today. We put him through a real workout, and you *know* you have a good baby on your hands when he lets you do cuh-razy things like this:

Yes, Daddy is going to be someone’s hero real soon. In fact, my daughter was standing at my elbow (begging for dinner, bad mommy) as I was quickly editing these, and she said “Is he a WEAL fireman?”. She was impressed that I got to meet the “weal” deal.
Yep, I’m cool like that. I hang with the big guys. (I was impressed too, and oh so worried that his helmet would be “baptized”. Holden did a great job of holding it (no pun intended), and we finished up with one sleepy little guy.

OMG, my hubby is a firefighter. I’m going to have to remember the baby-in-helmet idea for when we have kids…
Lovely job, as per usual.
You sure know how to make a grandmother tear up. Thanks again. I can’t wait to see the rest. You and my grandson(s) are amazing.
The one on the diningroom table absolutely ROCKS! I’m so very glad that you are back to blogging!
Your photography is absolutely breath taking, there are almost no words for the images you capture.
I live in the DFW area myself and hope that one day I can use your services. Thank you for sharing your talent with us.
