my little loves...

There wasn't much left to the flowers, but yesterday was our one and only shot at what was left. Here are a few shots of my little ones. ♥

Here are just a few shots of my cute girl on the day of her second dance recital.

Yesterday was the day to tackle my girls photos. It's always a chore. I usually lose the patience I'm know for. My friend and fellow photographer, Dana, came along with us. I think they actually smiled better for her! Thank goodness for good friends. But I am in love with how they turned out. Delaney must have picked 100 flowers and Avery was all smiles! Here are a few from my view... look for Dana's later. :)

I know I haven't had a lot to say lately. Life can do that sometimes and the past few weeks have been one of those times for me. But, I am excited about some new things coming up and have some overdue posts to share with you all soon!

{christmas morning}

Here are a few snaps from our Christmas morning. It was by far, the best yet. We are so blessed.



Delaney with one of her requests from Santa. I loved the simplicity of the things she asked for. I mean if you could have seen how much excitement a pack of princess lip gloss brought this little girl.

Now that I'm finished proofing and processing holiday orders, I thought I'd share a few fun shots of the past few weeks.








Our Santa mall experience didn't go quite like this!

It seems like yesterday...







My sweet Avery,

I can hardly believe its been a year since your birth. I remember it like yesterday. It feels like yesterday. I vividly remember the night before your birth. I slept two hours at the most. You moved constantly that night. I guess you were excited, too. I tossed and turned and savored every last kick, punch, turn and rolls you made. I dreamed of how much our lives were going to change in a matter of hours, of your sweet face, your tiny cry, your fingers and toes, you in my arms, the first kisses. As your daddy and I drove to the hospital we talked about all of those same things. We were so eager to have you in our arms.

Then you arrived. You were perfect, healthy and in our arms. Our prayers were answered. We were a happy family of four.

From the moment I first saw you and every day since, you have brought us nothing but joy. Your gentle and sweet personality is a blessing to everyone that knows you. Even more so to me.. your mommy, daddy and sister. Your smile is bright and contagious.. your giggles are priceless... your eyes sparkle... your slobbery kisses are love. We simply can't imagine life without you.

I feel like I only blinked and you were one. It's funny how life does that.

I hope you always feel how very much you are loved.

I love you,
Mommy
