{the shoot out}

Last week I was invited to get together with a group of local photographers. The catch was it was Brad's birthday. I thought I was going to have to miss out on the fun until Ezra suggested I bring him along and they'd shoot us while they worked with artifical light and shooting at night. I was certain that he'd never agree to work his modeling skills in front of a group of photographers, but I was wrong. He came right along, we had a blast and got some amazing photos of just the two of us. It was a learning experience to be "in front" of the camera for a change!

Thanks again to Ezra, Kaci, Mel & Brad, and Corinna for such a fun evening!

I can't begin to pick my favorites so here are a few I thought I'd share here. You can see more here, here and here.

{my little dancer}

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

{we gained an angel}

We will miss her terribly.



Most of you have heard that we lost our Nanny on my husband's side. She fought long and hard, but I have a feeling she was just too tired to keep fighting. She was so special to us all. We'll always cherish her love, her tight hugs and her sweet smile.

We head for South Florida early in the morning. For those of you with recent orders, anticipated galleries, or unanswered emails - I will complete that work just as soon as I can.
