christmas star

"Stars were gleaming, shepherds dreaming;

And the night was dark and chill.

 

Angels’ story rang with glory;

Shepherds heard it on the hill.

 

Ah, that singing! Hear it ringing,

Earthward winging, Christmas bringing!
Hearken! We can hear it still!

 

See the clearness and the nearness
Of the blessed Christmas star,

Leading, guiding; wise men riding
Through the desert dark and far.

 

Lovely showing, shining, growing,
Onward going, gleaming, glowing,
Leading still, our Christmas star!"
                         --Nancy Byrd Turner

suddenly bethany broke into her true self--her rapper self.  ben was secretly pleased to be holding the hand of a homegirl but owen felt betrayed and had to look away.

5.

but in reality it was just a dream ben was having.  this confused owen and he took a moment to figure it out.

handsome family up close and personal.

8.

i call this picture "three headed family" and it's one of my faves.

9.

owen with his paps series:  nice that ben hating every moment of being photographed, managed to look handsome despite himself.

10.

the next two of owen make me laugh.  i love his cute little chubby face and his 'i'm a lil' sausage' body!

 a suspicious family:

owen was a fuss-pot at this point.  so they sang to him.  and i took some clicks of them doing it.

and that's the end folks!  there are a few more photos from this session but at this point of my home upheaval, who knows where they are!

b-b-b-b-biffy dontcha know??

i just wanted to give biffy what i have.  she's been so patient about it.  i'm sorry biffy that it's taking me so long.

i just like them both ways.  you'll see a pattern emerge...

1b

i love this family.  what stood out to me when editing these road pics was "she loves him".  (like in fiddler on the roof).  her whole body reads love and i love that.

this is the moment in time that i captured when biffy was checking up on the smile status of her rubby roughy man.  a split second later she asked ben if he was doing his fake smile.  owen sits innocently not knowing what is to come.

and this is a freeze frame of a little bit of ben's freak-out.  he doesn't like getting his picture taken and that's all it took for him to spill his discontent.  :)

5.

given his strong aversion to the click-clicks i think he did remarkably well and i appreciated his efforts.

6.

heehee.  i love these ones.  i think owen looks a lot like babybiff.  i was editing these photos and suddenly i was taken back in time.  those wonderful years of twin babyness.  they were so cute and so funny  and i  loved them so much.  still do.
