…her name means “happiness”.







love
My awesome cousins came down for the day and I talked them into letting me take some pictures of them downtown. I must say, it was quite nice taking pictures without having to shake rattles and make pig noises to get them to look at the camera!!! Love you guys! ♥







sweet baby
It was such a joy to spend a couple of hours with this sweet family. Their 11 day old daughter was so delicate and precious. I love her face in the second one. The last one with dad is my favorite.




all boy
This four year old was shy at first. But once he warmed up, boy did he take off! Being only 4 months older than my son, I really enjoyed his bubbly personality. This is such a fun age! It is hard to believe this time last week our town was covered in a blanket of snow. We couldn’t have dreamed of more beautiful weather for a February afternoon! I liked so many from this session, but here are just a few…





date night
C and I had our first Mommy+Son date night this weekend. We started off the evening picking out flowers at the grocery store. C wore one on the lapel of his “prince outfit” (a.k.a corduroy jacket). Next, we went to our favorite Chinese restaurant. C got his very own adult sized cup of sweet tea. About 5 sips into dinner he was bouncing off the walls! After our meal we walked around the video store, finally settling on the new Ice Age movie (which, by the way, had way to much innuendo for my liking). C chose McDonald’s ice cream for dessert. Then back to our house to stay up late watching our movie. I’d say it was a pretty successful evening. I can’t wait to do it again!







booseballs
C and I made one of my FAVORITE sweet treats last week. We call them booseballs because my son used to have an obsession with moose. And let me just say, I still think it is weird there is no past tense for moose, but whatever. I found the recipe in the mommy magazine Wondertime a year or so ago. They are so easy to make, and since they are filled with healthy things like old-fashioned oats and ground flaxseed, you don’t have to feel bad about eating 10 of them in one sitting. I notice a grammatical error below, but well, you get the idea. Right?
Also, The Maternal Lens is having a giveaway for Florabella Actions. Visit their site by the end of the day and you might be the big winner! ♥




skate
“Too bad Lassie didn’t know how to ice skate,
because then if she was in Holland
on vacation in winter
and someone said “Lassie, go skate for help,”
she could do it.”
- Jack Handy



anibella
Anibella is the youngest of 5 girls, so she has a lot of pink-ness to live up to! I must admit, I really got a kick out of playing dress up with a real life doll! Anibella was a perfect angel and her mommy was SOOO wonderful allowing us to put her precious daughter in such crazy poses! Erin – enjoy this sneak peek, I will have the rest to you as soon as I can!
