Emmaline is 4 Months

My little sweetheart, Emmaline, is 4 months old already, in this month of November. Here she is wearing my pink baby dress, crocheted by her Great-great Grandmother. <3

Brotherly Love

Can't believe we all managed to shoot this session in the light rain today! I got to photograph those handsome "H" brothers again. "O" was posing for me and "J" was cracking me up with his grins. :)  I love you guys. It was so wonderful to see you, E and P! xoxo

My sweet little daughter, Emmaline, turned 3 months old this month. <3 Most beautiful little ballerina!

Picking Fruit In September

The kids and I have been picking fruit the past couple weeks from a couple of our local orchards. The boys have enjoyed hunting for peaches, pears, apples and raspberries. They are both nuts about eating fresh fruit and this is as fresh as it gets! Delicious.

Liam's First Day of Preschool

Today was Liam's first day of preschool! He was very excited to be wearing his new backpack and went in his classroom and got straight down to playing. It's a little bittersweet...My baby is growing up. I am so proud of him!

Happy first day of school to all the kids this year! Teachers, thank you for all you do for our children. May it be your best year yet!

Happy 3rd Birthday To My Liam!

Happy Birthday, Liam! On August 7th, my little heartthrob, Liam, turned 3 years old. I am just so proud of him. He is the silliest three year old I know and he's unbelievably intelligent, gentle and sweet.  

I enjoy watching him grow and learn new things each day. He's always wanting to snuggle up for a story. He loves books, music & dancing, trucks, cars & tractors, and for his birthday, he received a John Deere rider mower toy. He keeps his toy leaf blower and weed whacker in the mower's trailer, ready for work. He and his brother, Christian, pretend to have a lawn care business. My husband and I (along with our families) crack up watching them pretend to maintain the lawn in a professional fashion. 

Perhaps someday you will start your own lawn care business, Liam. Whatever you decide to do, we will be there to support you all the way! Liam starts preschool (for two mornings each week) this fall. He will be one of the youngest in his class. I am so excited and nervous at the same time, but happy that he will be enjoying himself in school.

I love you more than I can express in words. Happy 3rd Birthday, my Love!

Love, Mommy xoxo

Emmaline is One Month Old!

On August 12th, our darling little Emmaline turned 1 month old. She is just the sweetest little beautiful baby. <3 LOVE her! <3  

At 3 wks old, she caught the household cold and was hospitalized for several days for fever. So scary. She's much better now and on the mend though, thank God. It was quite a scare for us. 

It's been unbelievably crazy at times with my three little pumpkins, all at different stages and all in diapers (all crying at the same time for Mommy to pick them up at times). I wouldn't change a thing though. I feel so lucky to have them and be able to be spending so much time with them. Emmaline looks as if she's changing everyday and it's a reminder of how fast they grow up. I'm cherishing every moment!

Here is Little Miss Emmaline at 1 Month Old. (Thank you, Aunt Ann, for the adorable ruffle dress & hat that she's modeling here- ha!) 

Our Little Peach Has Arrived!

My daughter, Emmaline Grace, arrived early morning at 12:32am on Friday, July 12th 2013. 7lbs & 20.5 inches. She is just the sweetest darling & my husband and I are so in love with her! Liam and Christian have been such sweet big brothers during this time. It has been a big adjustment with 3 children under the age of 3, but such a blessing... We feel truly grateful. Welcome, Little Miss Emmaline! <3 

A Little Beauty!

This tiny beauty has always been such a pleasure to see grow with each new session. "G" is just so sweet! Thank you, J & V for having me back to capture her before I'm completely unavailable for a bit with a new baby. She is "sugar and spice & everything nice" and it was so much fun to work with your beautiful family again. I just had to share the last shot of you all at the end- so beautiful!!! 
Here are a few to share:

Dimitri Turns One!

It was such fun to photograph little "D", who just recently got to his one year milestone! (Happy 1st Birthday, D!) He was so fast on his legs, he had me running backwards many times to catch a shot as he ran towards me..haha. S & D, you sure are on your toes, aren't you? He is absolutely adorable. I want to give those little cheeks a little squish! Thank you S& D for asking me to capture your handsome little man. It was such a treat to see you again. Here are a few shots from his session:
