Kellie and I spent all day together yesterday, while Rich busied himself with another wedding. We worked on several wonderful projects, which I will post about very soon on my craft blog! But for now, I just had to post these photos of Alana’s first time ever in a pool! Kellie and I took a...
Well, this first photo (from last week) goes out to my sister, Alana’s “Aunt Pixie.” It was given so that Alana could proudly sport Black Hills State University, where Amber just graduated. Thank you again for the onesie, Amber! Doesn’t she look cute in it? Little collegiate babe And the photo below just happens to...
I know that I blog a lot, and it’s typically about the everyday aspects of life. I usually don’t use the blog as a venue to share the deeper things that are on my mind. But tonight my heart is a bit heavy. I have a confession: I cannot watch the news. I literally cannot...
On Thursday last week, Kellie, Alana and I had a bit of girl fun time! You can read more on my craft blog, if you’d like! Kellie grabbed these photos of Alana and I, and I love them! Thank you so much, Kellie! Alana has started to “kiss” me, or perhaps she’s just wondering what...
This little photo shoot was specifically orchestrated for my dad, an incredibly talented construction hero: And this one goes out to Rich’s dad, a wonderfully talented engineer: We love you both so much, and hope that you know how much you are appreciated!!! And to all of the other dads our there, happy, happy Father’s...
I’ll be honest: life has been stressful and much too busy lately. For starters, my little babe is a great night sleeper, but doesn’t spend much time snoozing during the day. So, I obviously spend most of my daytime hours and energy caring for Alana. Then there are all of the necessary things in life...
We’ve been walking…despite the nearly intolerable heat that Chattanooga has boasted lately. Truly, I feel like an old person in this weather. It zaps my energy. I’ve seen people running outdoors lately and I seriously do not understand how a person could run in this weather. I can barely stand to walk the 1.2 mile...
Well, I just got an email from my mom with several photos of my little brother’s middle school graduation speech. I teared up looking at them, and decided I needed to emote by posting a blog about him. So, this one goes out to you, Shawnie. I love you from the deepest parts of me,...
Rich and Alana. Wow, I love these two. One of the highlights from the past couple of weeks was going to visit Jeff and Jackie and their new little Adeline. Alana was particularly intrigued by this creature who was smaller than her. I set her down so she could see the baby, and in keeping...
Rich had the pleasure of doing a family session for our good friends, the Holritz’s. The first family session they’ve had a long, long time! They’re always operating on the other side of their cameras, and it was time to provide them with some fun family shots in their home. I thought I would share...
