So today didn't really go as planned...

by noon we were already at the vet...yes, on Easter Sunday! Punk managed to jump off the chair and fractured the growth plate in his leg. There were some other big words the doctor was throwing around, but all I heard or understood for that matter was the fracture to the growth plate.
The poor little guy weighed in at 2.4 pounds today and the splint on his leg probably makes him almost 3 pounds now! I guess that's one way to gain weight. :)
He will be limping around with this splint for the next 3 weeks...how are we going to keep this little guy calm for that long!?!? This should be interesting! It will be even more interesting to see how Maddoxx adjusts to play time without her sidekick...

Happy Easter!

It MUST be close....right?

Spring that is...it must be close, right? PLEASE tell me it will be here soon.


The birds in the trees tell me it must be so. I'm sure they are a lot more eager than I for the weather to change as I continue to sit in a warm house and they are out in the less than desirable March temps. But I don't know....I'm getting extremely impatient and I'd even go as far as saying I'm just as desperate as the birds in needing warmer weather!

When do you think we'll see a full week where we won't have to worry about wearing coats? I admit, I've been pushing the boundaries and have been running some errands without a coat just because it's been tolerable and I've been desperate to feel that winter is over!

Foggy morning...

Many mornings I look out and see beautiful sunrises or thick fog, but I never seem to take the time to grab the camera and capture the mornings. As I was driving this morning at 7:30 it was SO foggy and I thought the trees without the leaves had a very interesting look to them as they were trying to break the thick fog. Instead of just driving by this morning I pulled the car over and grabbed my point and shoot camera and captured these images! Doesn't it look like it should have been 10PM instead of 7:30AM?!?!? Cool huh?

Baby C...

Baby C is 6 months old! We were so excited to meet him and his family as they were referred by one of our very fun wedding couples! We knew it was bound to be a fun session! It turns out our wedding couple and Baby C's family have never met in person, only online! How cool is that and what are the chances?!?! Maybe the 3 of us need to get together for supper sometime and we can all meet in person!

Baby C was such a sweet little boy. He tolerated us and even gave us some smiles despite the fact that we interrupted his nap. I was amazed by his strength at just 6 months...he LOVED to stand up and hold onto the couch and crib. Baby C's parents were coming up with great ideas for him and we loved how "into" they were!


To Baby C's family...enjoy the preview, your online gallery will be ready soon! Thank you for inviting us to your home to capture little C! We loved his sober and serious looks just as much as we loved his elusive smiles! He was such a sweet little boy!

Baby G...

Baby G is growing up SO fast! I can't believe he's already six months old! The last time I saw him, he was only a week old...this is VERY said because his mom is my very good friend and that means that I haven't seen her in 6 months either. And here's the saddest part...we only live 40 minutes apart! Good heavens...is it too late to make a new years resolution?

OK, on to happier thoughts and sweet little baby pictures! Saturday was a fun day because not only did we get together for Baby G's 6 month old pictures, we got our dogs together for a playdate! That means it was a house full with 3 dogs, 1 baby and 2 adults trying to keep the chaos to a manageable level. All was well until the plumber came...yeah, that's right we added a plumbing job to the day, just to up the ante. :) You should know by now, our life just wouldn't be complete without pushing the boundaries. It's the story of our life!

Alright, alright, enough with the chatting and onto the good stuff!

Baby M...

oh...my...goodness....
Let me introduce you to baby "M"! Check out this little cutie pie! She was born less than 24 hours before I took these pictures! The S family invited me to the hospital to capture some of baby M's first moments. I LOVED every minute I was there capturing their family!
Without further ado, here she is!


Check out all the excitement on everyone's faces here as they look at baby M! I *think* they just might love little baby M enough to take her home....

This puts everything into perspective...baby M is soooo tiny!

Mike, this one is for you....check out the 3 beautiful girls you get to take home with you! Wow!!


To the S family, thank you for inviting me to capture this very special time in your life. I look forward to continuing to capture your family and the girls as they grow up together!
