…just catching up!

Week 43/52…at the library. We go quite often, I love it. The smell, the mounds of books, how quiet it is. I was certain I was the only one who still checked out books…but then I asked on facebook and people came out in droves. The library totally rocks! We got a lot too since we homeschool. Anyone else out there homeschool? This is the first year for us, just Kindergarten. Certainly more than I bargained for, but I’m having fun!

She has this one weepy eye.  It carries a tear most the day that never falls. It’s not serious and it doesn’t bother her. I totally adore it. Her little lashes wet and eye glossy. Sometimes I look in her little eye and it makes me wonder what she is thinking. Those eyes can tell a story. What makes her happy? What troubles her?  Is she thinking of how much she loves her blankie? Is she sad she got goldfish for her snack and not animal crackers? Does her pacifier taste yucky? Did she enjoy that hug? So many thoughts running through her head, and I know none of them. I can’t wait to sit down and talk with her like I do with Abby. If she’s anything like her sister I will be lucky if I can get a word in, and I wouldn’t have it any other way. I’ll sit and listen…as long as she wants to…fine by me.

My very good friend from Canada came to visit back in September. I’m finally getting around to finishing the photos that I took while she was here. I was so glad to see her & her husband, and meet their son for the first time! Liliana is just two days younger than little Nate. It’s been a great experience going through all these baby stages at the same time with Kim, even though we’re miles and miles apart.

Love you friend! And I love your family!


They’re just chillen’…munching on corn and peas. :)

I can’t resist the look on his face here!

What a sweetheart this little lady was. You remember her lovely Mommy and Daddy? They are being so patient with me as I am very behind in delivering prints, uploading galleries and returning emails because of what has transpired this week with my family. But the least I can do for them is post a sneak peek of some photos I have finished. Thanks for waiting you two and for being so understanding. I promise it will be worth the wait!

sweet sweet baby…

What a sweetheart this little new one was! At 7 days old, he was just such a joy! He slept the entire time, let me move him all around, which was so much fun for me! You’ve seen his Mama’s maternity photos, and finally he arrived after being fashionably late! Really, if every newborn session went like this, I would absolutely love to do them all the time.

So here’s a sneak peek…just one! I might be persuaded to share more later though :)

Here’s baby “B” safe in Daddy’s hands…

Ok, so this week kinda crept up on me. Husband is out of town, the two older kids went away for a night (thank you Grandpa & Grandma!!), I had two sessions this week, handling 3 kids on my own isn’t always a piece of cake, and and and…anyway…

So as far as the photo goes…Lily loves to fly on my legs. It cracks her up! (But in the pic, doesn’t it look like they’re actually her legs??) And I love her little expression, she always, always has her hand in her mouth! Causing her to gag quite frequently. I need to enter her into “America’s Got Talent” or something as the baby who can eat her whole fist…yeah, she’d win…she’d steal the show.

I call this photo, (besides being my 6th week self portrait) -
~~~~!!Attack of the flying, fist eating, so cute you scrunch her little cheeks, Baby!!!!~~~~

…cause who can handle being this CUTE???

Stranger anxiety is hitting hard for Miss. Lilikins…or she’s “making strange” as my wonderful Canadian friends would say :) Cries for Mama when I leave her and can only be soothed by me or dh (dear husband!) She’s fine when she’s home! She’ll let me put her down when I need to, but this being baby #3 and all…I choose not to put her down much! Hmmm…maybe if she wasn’t so much fun! Just kidding :) I’m enjoying taking these photos. I’ve been able to document “real” times with my kids. Just us, hanging out, me holding Lily, doing what we do.
