I can't believe he's already ONE!

Connor is no longer my baby. Well, he will always be my baby but he's not considered a "baby". He had a blast eating his cake and even fed some of it to my friend Tammy. I could bore you with details from the party but I'd rather show you some pictures (words are not my talent).

now, look at Christian blowing these candles out while Connor is dazing off into the background. Who's birthday is it anyway?? Poor baby Connor. Everybody has to do everything for him. He didn't even get to open his own gifts :-)

and finally the cake eating.

family time

I've always wanted a family picture in front of a corn field... not sure why but it just seems like a true Indiana photo! These were taken up at Aaron's family's house.

You can leave comments now!

I finally realized why no one was leaving comments... b/c you couldn't!! I changed a setting on the blog that now allows you leave comments. So please do so.... it makes me feel like having a blog is worthwhile!! Thank you :-)

Nursery Painting

I fell in love with my client's nursery. She painted it herself to match the Pottery Barn Kids crib bedding for her daughter's nursery. She told me she has a passion for painting and would like to do this more often for others. If you are interested in having your child's room painted, contact Jen Thompson. Her email is mailto:jennifer_thompson0913@yahoo.com.

For the Thompson's... a few of your sweet angel

and I just love the platter ones!

For the Johnson's

Here are a few more from the session last weekend. In the midst of funny monster faces, cheesy smiles etc. we were able to get some good ones! The rest will be coming to you soon. Enjoy!

Some time together

I took tons of photos with Christian the other day while Maddie was at school. I can see this happening a lot now that I have one kid gone in the afternoon. Anway, I was helping him draw a farm and while drawing together, I noticed how sweet our hands looked side by side.... so of course I had to take pics of it. I know one day I will look back on this and marvel at it.

simply sweet.

This might be the most beautiful baby girl in the world. Her momma was so thrilled with this storyboard.

Lake getaway

The girls got away for the weekend to the Lake. It was a great break and a time of building friendships.

picking flowers

I took the kids to the pond last month to pick flowers. This is what I ended up with for Maddie. I posted Christian's in an earlier post.

Friends

I love this b/c I see how truly beautiful each child is. It was so much fun to take their pics!
