Drawing with Daddy

I just love capturing these little, but 'oh so' important moments.

My little monkey

I know I have said it before, probably many times, but my girl is such a little monkey!!  She just loves to climb and play in the trees in our yard.  ***Don't worry, she is only about 2 feet off the ground in these :)

 Can you imagine ever having to say 'no' to this sweet face?!

I am pretty proud of myself...I created my very first action while editing these!!  It definitely made the process much quicker :)

Jeggins and acorns

I had to share pics of my sweet girl and her first pair of blue jeans (they are actually not even denim but knit).  I am one of those mommy's that wants to keep my girl a baby forever, and will dress her in bubbles and bloomers for as long as possible.  But, when I saw these cute little 'jeggins' I had to give in :)

'Auburn Chic'

G goes to school right down the street from our house, so we usually walk both to and from school.  Every day, she meticulously picks up all the acorns she finds on the side of the road.  Then she either throws them over our neighbor's bridge into the creek or stores them in the side pocket of her backpack.

shooting in manual

 

I have been practicing shooting in manual mode today.  It's something I learned to do at a beginners photography class I took last year, but since most of my pictures involve an active two year old, I usually end up shooting in AV mode.  It definitely takes some practice to shoot in manual....These are my two favorite from today.

When I was pregnant, I always said I hoped our baby would get Kevin's light green eyes, but now I wouldn't trade her big brown eyes for anything:)

you are my sunshine...

a mother's love

I got to take pictures for one of my best friends this week.  She is amazingly strong and an incredible mother.  Sweet Cooper is such a fighter... Here is their story.  Please pray for healing for this precious baby boy and strength for his family during this difficult time.
