Our Newest House Guests...

Aren't these the cutest little things? It reminds me of raising orphaned kangaroos when I was younger and still living in Australia! Oh, I miss those little things!

Every year about this time delightful little birdied that chirp through most of the night are hatched! this year, with many thanks to my 100 macro, I was able to catch a glimpse of them! See if you can figure out the puzzle. Two are top and tail a third and maybe a fourth are squished beneath them! If the weren't so LOUD at 3:00am beneath my bedroom window they'd be more than wonderful but for now they're "just" wonderful :-) Love ya birdies!

Lady luck

We're so happy to have lady bugs nesting in two of our trees! What a wonderful experience it is to wake up in the morning, look out your window and see hundreds of them wandering around before your very eyes! I've always thought of ladybugs as good luck charms so imaging how fab it feels to find them everywhere ever day :-)

She "Has a New Window!"

My beautiful baby girl lost her fourth tooth a couple of days ago. She came running out of her bathroom screaming MUMMY, I LOST MY TOOTH - I HAVE A NEW WINDOW!!!" It was priceless :-) I love Mummy moments like that!


I had to show this delightful look!

The New Baby in Our House...

OMG! Introducing "Pip"...for now. He's somewhat of a little known fella so I'll come back to him in a couple of weeks suffice to say he's doing a wonderful thing for a lot of little ones :-) Pip LUUVVVs us!




...and Ryan's binky!

...and sometimes he get's it backwards...


Really, I'm not kidding! This little guy takes then when ever he can find them. On this day, Ry baby was hit by an "accidentally moving jump rope" and the the second the binky hit the floor [dur to the wild open mouth crying - very sad] Pip took off like a dog posessed! You can't imaging how fast a teensy weensy puppy can run when he's on a mission!

I had to drop in and say "Hi"

O.K. the pace around here is, well only something you'd understand if you were actually as crazed as I am right now! I'm seriously ready tho throw my computer out the window! Dearest Hubby, who's computer functions perfectly thinks we need to stick with this one! If he could only experience a glimpse of this craziness I know he'd agree with ME! And don't even get me started on anything else!

So thank you everyone who's patiently waiting on a gallery or an order, they're in the works!

As usual I'll be running out the door soon, waiting on R. to rescue me and come home early AGAIN in place of our apparently forgetful nanny! Thanks honey...but could ya hurry it up pretty, pretty, please!

I wanted to post one from a session last week. I closed my eyes and pointed to this super cute little darling! There'll be a lot more to come once I catch up from the 'crisis'.

I read a little saying the other day that i related too...'I'm too blessed to be stressed!' I've been trying to keep it in mind!

Bye for now

I'm Back!!

Boy, has it been a long week! It's never easy trying to scramble around computer issues but I'm back on track [for now]! It's VERY late [again] and I promised myself I'd go to bed and not sit back at the computer. Let's just say tomorrow's another day! I've got so much to catch up on and trying to keep a balance between work and family can be tricky. O.K. I have to be faster!

Here's little Miss. Fancy Pants R. and her fabulously handsome older brother T. [who claims NOT to be dating anyone!]. This young man was a joy! He was so polite for a boy his age, I was very impressed! You may recognize Little Miss R. from my last post. She happened to come down with one of those pesky illnesses that we all hate right in the middle of our shoot! A few days later she was on top of the world and looking as cute as ever!

To clients who are waiting on prints and galleries - they're being worked on at a furious pace! Thanks for your patience!

I Have to Show a Less Serious Side!

This is Little Miss R. from yesterday...she's so beautiful and I hear she [along with Mom and Dad] suffered all night with a fever. I did manage to get a few less serious shots of her so I thought I'd post a couple before I take the kids out to lunch. Today's shoot was tones of fun. There was a very active 5yr old boy and an adorable blue eyed bunch of sweetness getting ready to take her first steps! I'll be posting those hopefully by tomorrow!

You Guessed it...One More!

He's so fun to look at, how could I not share another?

Gorgeous!

This little guy, Master J. reminds me of my nephew when he was the same age. They surely could be brothers and have the same tendencies to laugh and eat one's hands! Luckily they grow out of the latter and picture taking becomes a easier task Mommy! He really is a happy baby...so happy in fact I had to wait for a pause in the giggling to take the shot!

Poor Little Angel...

This sweet little thing came down with a fever not long after I started shooting...such a trooper she was that I managed to get a few 'keepers' before she popped off to bed for a well earned rest!. Right after that I was lucky to spend the rest of the shoot with her baby brother. He's such a hoot! Stay tuned for those images!
