Phototastic!

[Κομμα]

I've been putting this off for quite a long time and it's about time I got around to making it--my photo album! The contents will be pretty random, yeah.

As a warning, some of the photos probably will stretch out the board (which I allow as long as it's in journals, but not anywhere else on the site; given that journals are our own territory, anyone is perfectly welcome to make theirs as sloppy as the want it).

But yeah, here shall go animals, family, random photography, guitars, funny pictures, etc. When I do post pictures that don't belong to me, I will do my best to attribute them to their owner.

Disclaimer: Any pictures that I do own, I do own. Any pictures that I don't own, I don't own. Any pictures that I do own, the people who own the pictures that I don't own, don't own. Any pictures that I don't own, the people (or person) who own(s) the pictures that I do own (that would be me), don't or doesn't own. I personally don't think I could be any clearer without being invisible.

EDIT: Also, forgot to mention, everyone is more than welcome to leave comments/replies. Or spam the crap out of the thread. Either way ^_^

I figured I'd start with January, as I've been planning on setting this up since around when Gwen (that would be my niece) was born. Going to do my best to keep them in time-order. So, here goes. (Just for reference, there will probably be very few pictures of me in this album, unless they're with family. So... yeah. Don't expect to see me that much.)

The proud parents. This was a few minutes after Gwen was born. The scruffy ape-like thing on the left is my brother, Jesse; which makes cellphone-mom on the right my sis-in-law; Tasha.

Photographer: Yours truly.

Of course, Gwen decided she was going to arrive while we were still getting over our eight inches of snow. This was a neat picture Tasha got of the snow outside the window of the room after delivery. It had slid down and folded over itself as it was melting.

Photographer: See above.

Gwen's first time flipping off the paparazzi? >_> Seriously, she's been a little diva since day one.

Photographer: Tasha

And she knows she's a cutie. Which is precisely where the whole diva-syndrome stems from @_@

Pink burrito!

And Wesley makes his first appearance! First time holding his little sister. (Once again, the scruffy gorilla in the corner is my brother.) Wes is my five-year-old nephew, the oldest of the two. He's adored his baby sister since day one, but he still elects to just call her "baby sister" rather than "Gwen" or "Gwendolyn." This pic was at the hospital the day after she was born.

Photographer: I'm pretty sure it was Tasha.

And Ian... who didn't take notice of Gwen until five minutes in the room, proceeded to poke her a couple times, then stole his mommy's bed. He's my two-year-old nephew. And he's kinda protective of his sister, but he's just as much so jealous ^^'

Photographer: Tasha

After her third (and final) day at the hospital, on her way home. Quite sleepy after being poked and prodded by a bunch of strange tall-people with needles and face-masks.

Photographer: Tasha

I think this was later the same day. But don't take my word for it.

Photographer: Tasha

And that wraps up January's pictures! There's quite a few less for February, so fear not ^^'

EDIT: I lied. There's the same amount in February >_> Could've sworn there was less...

And onward with February! This was an extremely slow month for me and I'm very glad it's over. But with February came Tasha's awesome new professional-grade digital camera, which meant awesome professional-grade digital photos!

And the first really upclose pic of Wes. With his crazy hippy hair. Also the very first picture taken with the camera. The brown spot in his left eye is a lot more pronounced in real life than it is in the picture, but it's just awesome that it's visible at all here.

Photographer: Tasha

Pretty flowers somewhere in our yard. Not sure where >_>

Photographer: Tasha

Not a doubt that Ian got the Irish complexion. He seriously never tans. At all. One of the few pictures where you can see that his eyes are actually green and his hair is reddish blond. His eye color never shows up well in photos because he got his daddy's squinty eyes =P As for his hair, that's a mystery I've yet to solve.

Photographer: Tasha

Flower power ^_^

Photographer: Tasha

Sepia flower power? O-o

Photographer: Tasha

Scooby =3 Wesley was responsible for naming him. He's a big loveable dufus. He actually got hit by a car yesterday and I had the [sarcasm]pleasure[/sarcasm] of seeing it happen firsthand >_< He seems to be doing really well, and I hope he continues to do so. I'd hate to lose the idiot.

Photographer: Tasha

Wes sitting on the tree-swing after getting home from school. Which is pretty much where he runs to every day he gets off the bus. Swings for a few minutes then comes in.

Photographer: Tasha

My baby girl ^_^ Luvkins. She's named as such both because she's the most loveable creature to have ever walked the face of the earth, and because the three big spots on her back are all vaguely heart-shaped.

Photographer: Tasha

And that's it for February! Think I'm going to take a break before getting started on March. So many picture O-o

I need to get back to this soon... I'm quite a few months behind xD But just for randomness and yays, and in honor of my lovely niece Gwendolyn's half-birthday, have a pic!


The photographer for both is Tasha; one from the day she was born, and one from today... well, yesterday as of two hours and almost twenty minutes ago. She just turned six months x3
