I have neglected my blog lately, but the good news is that I am finally catching up a bit! Sharing a few images from a wonderful family reunion that I was able to share with a warm and friendly family. We did lots of family groupings, but my favorites were some of the more candid shots. I loved this series…
And how cute is she?
And here’s her big brother 
These were taken a while back in my “loft” studio (ha ha!). We have been having so much fun with these little chicks. I can’t believe how fast they grow…they arrived via priority mail (!) in box a few weeks ago. Cute as can be, fluffy and chirping all the way home. In just a few weeks time they have gone from cute and fluffy to, well, chickens. Leggy, with feathers coming in in places, but still covered in downy feathers in others. These images were taken when they were still cute.
What the ?????
Is this some sort of joke? VERY funny!
A little change of pace this time…just sharing a few window-light bridals from Mollie and Tim’s June 14 wedding.
And who can resist a cute flower girl?
My kids have had so much fun with this…and me too! Do you have books laying around that you’ve read that you’d be willing to trade with someone else? This is the perfect place to swap them for just the price of postage! You post the books that you are willing to trade, and when another member requests that book, you mail it to them via media mail at your expense (usually $2 - $3, depending on the weight). For every book that you send, you get to request one from another member…who mails the book to you at their expense. It’s awesome, and my kids have loved watching the mailbox for their new book.
Oh, and you can even print the “wrapper” and postage for the book right on your computer if you’d like, and then simply place it in your mailbox…
Best of all, it’s free to join. So check it out!
I wanted to share some images of my cute lil accordion albums. This smaller album is included with TheGoodies package. It contains 12 prints sized at 4×6. It opens like an accordion, and the front and back cover are black leather. It comes to you boxed in a satin-lined presentation box. Perfect for your desk or handbag, this album is definitely a conversation piece!
I had the opportunity to meet this delightful little one-year-old last week. Miss C is full of personality, and I loved watching her explore her world. Thanks to Mom and Grandma for letting me spend some time with you.
Her Grandma has a beautiful garden full of hostas, and Miss C helps Grandma by pulling weeds and watering plants.
And she likes jewelry and clothes….
Doesn’t she have the most gorgeous eyes?
More very soon!
Really, I do. Because I get to spend a wonderful few hours on a Sunday evening with a warm, happy family. I enjoyed every moment I was able to spend with this happy, energetic group. This peek is late, I am so sorry folks! I am working hard to get the gallery completed for you.
Here is Mr. E, who is a drummer, along with Dad and younger brother.
And Mr. C, the cutest Superhero swordfighter…
And putting the PRETTY in Pretty in Pink, is Miss J….
Thank you for a wonderful evening guys! I enjoyed every moment of the soccer, drumming and twirling.
More very soon!
This 6 month-er was happy as can be. Mr. C always seems to be in a good mood, and he got to experience bubbles for the first time AND sitting in grass. He wasn’t so sure about the grass though.
Love how he scrunched his shoulders up when he was trying to talk to us….
And one with Daddy…..
