While in OH I had a small amount of time to visit with my good friend Melanie and her kiddos.  We let them just enjoy a bit  of time out in yard and hoped for a holiday card shot as an outcome.  They ran and jumped and Miss Sydney did everything in her power to avoid the camera–but when we caught her…what eyes!  The last shot is dear to me based on both the fun they were having and the fantasic OSU ensembles:-)   –Thanks Mel and we will look forward to seeing  you and finally having dinner at Michael Simon’s place at Christmas.
