Help!

I want to get newborn pictures of Brad and a few family pictures. We had a great photographer for Miranda's newborn baby pictures, but they were really expensive, and I'm not excited to spend a fortune again... Any and all recommendations welcome!

Dollar Movie Date

Roses are red,
Babies cause the blues,
So we went to see Twilight
At the old "gum shoe" For Valentine's, Jeremy got up with Miranda and tried to take her with him to get groceries, but she had a tantrum and woke me up. Lately she has tantrums about getting dressed or getting in pajamas, depending on the day. We were able to manage to distract her long enough to get her clothes on, and they went out the door, though. He came back with red roses to surprise me, along with the groceries. Then his parents offered to watch the kids while we went to a movie that night. That is exactly what I needed--a little time away from the babes and to occupy my mind with a fun movie with Jeremy. I had wanted to see Twilight, and thought we had missed it from the theaters, but I found it still playing at the dollar movies in American Fork. It made the movie even better to see it in the huge, old fashioned long theater, crowded with people and covered in sticky drink spills. I haven't read the books, by the way, but I loved the movie, and Jeremy said it had enough "Sci-Fi" stuff in it to make if fun for him, too.

My Valentines

Remember the Olympics of 2000 here in Salt Lake? I got to go to a few of the concerts they had after the Medal Ceremonies. One artist I saw perform then was Martina McBride. She was amazing, of course. But in particular I remember her talking about her song "Valentine" before she sang it, and that it was about anyone you love, but for her it was specifically referencing her own children. That stood out in my mind at the time, since I had only ever thought of a Valentine as being a romantic love.
Happy Valentine's to the loves in my life!

Here are the lyrics to Martina McBride's "Valentine".

Valentine

If there were no words
No way to speak
I would still hear you
If there were no tears
No way to feel inside
I'd still feel for you

And even if the sun refused to shine
Even if romance ran out of rhyme
You would still have my heart until the end of time
You're all I need, my love, my Valentine

All of my life
I have been waiting for
All you give to me
You've opened my eyes
And showed me how to love unselfishly

I've dreamed of this a thousand times before
But in my dreams I couldn't love you more
I will give you my heart
Until the end of time...
You're all I need, my love, my Valentine

(SOLO)

And even if the sun refused to shine
Even if romance ran out of rhyme
You would still have my heart until the end of time
'Cause all I need is you, my Valentine
You're all I need, my love, my Valentine
