BUT THEN THE CRAZY PEOPLE WIN.
I refuse to let one rotten apple spoil the whole bunch.
I refuse to let one crazy person who wants to pretend my adorable children are theirs ruin what I've built here.
I refuse to let the hard times ruin what is an amazing experience, raising these little babies into boys into men.
I took this photo of Nate last night to remind me they're still so little.
I also took it to remind me the crazy people can post these photos on Facebook all they want, they will never have what I have here. I feel sad for them, longing for a better life instead of getting out there and LIVING IT.
Crazy people, stealing my photos will never find you happiness.

So sorry you have to deal with this, but so glad that you are not going to let it stop you. I love reading your blogs and looking at your beautiful boys, and am so grateful that you continue to share them with us.
I hope it doesn't stop you...I love seeing your pictures! I just don't understand what people would be doing with the pictures....why would thye want them on their facebook account??
People are such jerks.
As for the picture of Nate. Om nom nom, delicious.
Sarah at Great Umbrella Heist had hers taken too. It's so weird, I just DO NOT understand why someone would take someone else's photos (other than to say "look - how cute, read this blog"). I really, really want some report to find someone and interview them because I honest to god don't get it.
What the what??? Why would people want to pretend your children are theirs? I mean, seriously, on Facebook, don't your "friends" know whether or not you have children? And, even possibly, what they look like? It just seems so dumb! People are NUTS, with a capital Kraaazy.
I know this is a pain, and nerve-wracking, but for what it's worth, I'm glad you post beautiful pictures of your beautiful children. Many times, those photos bring a smile to my day. And I would dare say that bringing about a smile in just one person (as far as karma goes) is worth it. (Easy for me to say, I know.) Hang in there, LC --and never, ever give in to the crazies!
Love this. It's annoying and upsetting that someone is stealing both your work and pictures of your kids, but I think you're right that it is actually more sad than anything else. What must their lives be like to have to try to steal someone elses, but not really steal it, just the images of it!
I'm a big fan of doing what works for me (and our family) rather than worrying about the world. It's very easy to let the crazy people win. Oversharing on the internet (as I've taken to describe myself) puts you at risk to the crazies, but only if you let 'em.
Seriously, who do these people think they're fooling? Crazy nuts. I'm really glad you aren't backing down, you have all the reasons in the world to keep going, and I'm so thankful that you have decided to.
That picture of Nate is so wall worthy.
I am so glad that you are not letting that stop you. I love the pictures you take and your boys are beautiful. It reminds me that my son is not the only one doing these things. I have taken more and better pictures of my son from looking at your wonderful pictures. Thank you for sharing your talent (and family) with us.
Yeah for not let the crazies win. It would make me so sad if you had to go private. And I am just utterly shocked that someone would a) do it in the first place and b) think they can get away with it. Crazy is just the start of what they are.
Thank you for sharing your photos. I didn't think people could be so pathetic as to use pics of other people's kids for their own. Why don't you contact facebook and have them removed - the photos or the entire person. Sounds like a possible scam artist at work.
That's so sad that people are still your photos. What jerks.
You do take fabulous pics. :)
Ugh, yet again, ugh. I really just don't get the photo-stealing phenomenon. But, as you say, it mostly makes me feel sad for the people who do it. A little angry and even violated, but mostly sad. Are they so mentally unstable that they truly believe they are creating some kind of life? Are they just so lonely and insecure that they feel the need to create this elaborate fake life? Whatever causes it, it's really sad.
Weird. Go you, for taking such awesome photos that crazies want to steal them :)
I would say un-fracking-believable but it's sadly not.
Wow.
