{baby ali}

Oh, how I love sweet little babies. This little gal is the daughter of one of Russell's best friends from high school. We are so happy for him and Emily. (His wife has a great name!) Ali's daddy even picked this bow (in the first picture) for her.
Thanks for asking me to do these pictures! I love a good excuse to see a new little baby.




Ali's room is decorated in Raggedy Ann. I loved Raggedy Ann growing up! It will be fun some day to look back at how small Ali was next to this doll.


I love her red hair. You can see it good in this next picture.

Little Avery is 6 months old!! It seems like we just barely did her newborn photos. Oh my, what a cutie. She was so good for these pictures!

{my little chickadee is three}

Here are the photos from our little photo shoot the other day. I wanted some 3-year old pics to display at her party. And I was excited to try on all of her new birthday outfits. (I cannot get enough of all the cute things out there for little girls! Big weakness.) I was sad that it had been too freezing to go outside and some of my new fabrics for backdrops hadn't arrived in time, but I think the basic white turned out OK. It kind of puts the focus just on my beautiful little girl. I love her so much and I am so blessed to get to be a mom of this girl. She is growing up so fast. I can't believe she just turned three! I will post her party hopefully soon, but for now, here are some of just her.

She is looking way too grown up in these!!






























This is the storyboard I had made up for her party. I had such a hard time narrowing it down, so I made a way to big board that could fit five pictures. Now...where to put it now that the party is over...
