introducing...

I figured I should put faces to names... my gorgeous husband and son (don't you just love their smiles?) with just-born Maiya (we had her at home). And our chunky Maiya at 8 weeks.

And below....

here's moi:

Now before the wisecracks and comments begin, let me just say I am being neither vain nor narcissistic... rather, I am being wistful.... I looked like this with the magic of make-up and lighting and digital photoshop. This was done some 7 years ago for a charity firefighting calendar... obviously pre-babies because no way do I look like that now. Sadly, whatever boobs I once had are now pointed south. This is what I really look like... my soccermom hair, sans make-up, teeth maybe brushed. And don't you just love the bags under my eyes? Oh so tired but oh so happy.
