Baby B

Aw Newborn babies.  Every time I hold one my ovaries start to dance and I begin to rock back and forth in rhythm with the music my uterus is making.  I have to remind myself as I'm taking deep breaths filled with the scent of newborn baby , I forget what it is I need to remind myself about and continue to breath and sway and then I hear a small cough in the corner,  the mother, I suppose, waiting patiently for me to put the baby down and begin photographing.  

Baby B was no exception. So small, so deliciously scented, so beautiful...

Celebrating 6 years

This is Sam


No wait....


This is Sam... really?

Umm  Lets take a look....

 2005 - so sweet
 
 2006 - Happy Boy

 2007 - Cute!
 2008 - Adorable!

 2009 - "Hockey Eye"
 2010 - Soaring!
2010 - Introduction to the Tooth Fairy.  Since June Sam has lost 4 teeth!

Yes, I'm sad.  My baby is no longer a baby and that makes me sad, but I can't help feeling excited for him right now and for his future.  
Oh, the things he's learning!  
Oh, the Places he's going!   (name that book, name that Author)

 
 I love this kid. My first born, my cuddler, my funny boy, my compassionate boy.  He loves to play Bakugans, Bionicles, Batman and Robin.  He loves his sister AND drives her crazy.   He is friendly to everyone he meets.  He's smiley.  He's...

Look at me, I'm gushing

Sorry

one more...   He is learning to play piano... and he is so good

 

His first Piano Recital is Sunday

I will cry


"Congratulations!  
Today is your day.  
You're off to Great Places! 
You're off and away! "   Dr. Seuss


I am crying

She's 4

I'll just say it.  I say this often



Where has the time gone!   

She's 4, my little Anna is 4

excuse me while I wipe a tear away, sniff

Lets recap while I recompose...











sigh.....




She is 4.   

My Anna is all girl.  She loves to dress up, she loves makeup, she loves nail polish, she loves pink ...  she is sweet and giggly.  She sings and dances to her own songs.  She skips instead of walks. 
She is my little princess,  I think she is beautiful and I love her lots ♥

Becoming a BarMitsvah Ezra

If you haven't already guessed it BaT Mitsvah is for a girl and BaR Mitsvah is for a boy,  so no it isn't a typo on my part.

Becoming a Bar/BatMitsvah really means becoming a son/daughter of the commandment. 

Okay I didn't know that before either

This is Ezra

Missing some old Friends


This is BJ - short for Sweet BABY JANE (1989-2005) and Lucy (1996-2009)     I've had BJ since she was a Puppy and we bought Lucy in 2002 after she was retired by a Beagle breeder.  They both were great beagles in their own unique ways.  BJ was happy, and playful and Lucy was sweet, and gentle, a real Mama.  I remember when we brought my son home from the hospital, we put him down on the floor to let Lucy and BJ have a look.  Lucy's motherly instinct took over and she did not hesitate in trying, very gently, to pull Sam to her bed.  Once I explained that he was mine and not hers,  she never tried to take him away again but rather stayed by my side and would not let BJ anywhere near us, the only aggression she ever showed.    I miss my Beagles,  I'm welling up with tears right now...  BJ did not live long after my kids were born but Lucy quickly became their dog and they learned gentleness from her.



I miss my Beagles and one day we will get another dog and it will probably be a Beagle, in the meantime I will NOT watch Pick a Puppy  http://www.facebook.com/CMTPickAPuppy  and I will only visit http://www.beaglepaws.com/adoption.html once a every 3 months... there that should do it right?
We won't have a new family member this year will we?

New Canvas Collage

New Year means new ideas and products.   I came across this "Mr. Big"  (aptly named)  last week when searching for a nice frame for another canvas I'm working on    I fell in love instantly ♥  Shown in this Collage are images from a few different sessions but one could easily put the entire collection of images from their session on this ... Mr. Big! 

I love all the different frames and there are so many possibilities for background color!
