Random Pictures

The passports have arrived! I don't know why they returned the photos to us but they did and I thought it would be fun to blog about it so that they can look back on this in a few years and giggle! I didn't realize that I had dressed Declan to look like Jeremy but I thought it was cute when I saw these pictures. I had to put Maya's hair up to get it away from her face and she ended up looking like "Pebbles." She had a rough time staying still long enough for a good photo. But all in all, their passports look good. They are way more detailed than my Canadian passport, but maybe that is for more secure measures.




My mom also sent me a copy of a newspaper article from when I was in High School. I sang in this big musical production as Dorothy in the Wizard of Oz and a reporter snapped a picture of me. During intermission he came to my dressing room to ask me more questions so he could put his picture in the newspaper. Little did I know that my picture would be plastered on the FRONT PAGE of the provincial newspaper the very next day. But it was a fun day-of-fame for me....:)


(This was the only dress in the costume department that fit me. It's not very similar to the real DOROTHY, but it worked).

I created some fun digital pictures of Declan to fit with the industrial theme in his room.

(His bedroom wall color is not this exact shade. This is a digital reproduction of what is hanging on his bedroom wall).

They let you smile foe your passports in the states!!??
You can't here.
Did you not get one? or you already had one?

I have a Canadian passport that I have to renew every 5 years. Jeremy's US one is every 10 years. I smiled on my first Canadian passport photo but they wouldn't let me the second time around. Must be the decision of whomever takes the picture.

I think here in Canada it is a rule that you can't smile. Anybody I know who has one was told you can't smile. It would make the passport look better.
And here you can't where white. We got ours done at Costco and I had to go borrow a shirt because I wore white. Who knew.
I like the funky picture for Declan's room.
