More Cuties...

I got to take Hazel and Luka's pictures yesterday. I just can't get enough of it... taking pictures of adorable kiddos and babies. All the cute expressions, beautiful eyes, and all the energy!!!! Even though I have three of my own, I enjoy every minute with whoever I'm taking pictures of. Each child has their own charm and of course beauty. This was definitely true for Hazel and Luka! Thanks Sara...your girls were wonderful :)

A Good time.. ha, ha.

It really was a good time... such a fun location! If only it hadn't been so windy, I could have taken pictures of this sweet family and their cousins all evening (I've yet to post the other cute kiddos/cousins). Ellie you crack me up and who couldn't fall in love with baby Esther's eyes?! Thanks Bill and Olivia for the great evening... :)

Fun at the Park :)

Bright fall colors, slides, and swings... perfect for pictures! Now, if only Lindsey would have given up a few smiles... just teasing Krista! :) Smiles or not, a sweet little family for sure.

Happy Things

I need a happy thing today... Today's a sick day. 4 out of 5 in our family are sick...YUCK! And to top it all off, it's a rainy dreary day. Maybe it's just a housewife thing, but man do I appreciate sunlight! Maybe I focus on it too much... every morning when I wake up, I feel like the outlook of my day is already partially determined by whether or not the sun is shining! It's so much easier to have energy and be joyful when the sun's out. I know, I know... (big sigh), I can't be dependent on external circumstances to find joy. But it sure makes it easier! :) So today, on a yucky day, I'm trying to be thankful for the sunshine that happens to not be here. I'm thankful for that part of creation and I'm thankful for the joyful boost it gives me some days. Sunshine is definitely a Happy Thing....even though it's absent today :)

More alphabet art...

Well, here's my progress with the alphabet letters... I'm kind of taking a new approach with it: mixing the graphic patterns with the drawings. Who knows?! It's a fun process though!

I envision printing these as 8x10s, ready to frame. I thought too, birth info or a bible verse could be added under the name... let's see, two of each letter...I've finished five...only 47 more to go!! HA!

Addison

Well, I thought we were going to get a sunny fall day for Addison's photo shoot, but no luck. As it turned out though, the weather was really quite perfect even without sun...

Okay, this little girl's face melts my heart... I could look at her pictures all day! Thanks Addison for being such a sweetie... I'm glad you liked the wagon :)

Happy Things

As you all have probably caught on by now, I just love anything antique/vintage! Over the past few years, I've really come to appreciate and enjoy old pottery. I love almost all of it... but much of it is far to expensive for me to collect right now! You can find McCoy pottery at a reasonable price if you do a little hunting though... so I've began a small collection :) I just love the muted colors ...especially the turquoise :)... and the beautiful patterns of McCoy. For me, it's a Happy Thing :)
