Little Ballerina...

Click on these photos to see them larger- they are really just so sweet!

My beautiful princess has started taking Ballet. After reading the previous two posts I am in awe of how grown up and simply beautiful Olivia is. I know I posted quite a few photos of her in ballet class yesterday, but I couldn't narrow them down.

Olivia and I may butt heads most of the day- she may talk and talk and talk and talk until my ears fall off- she might be a little over dramatic- ok WAY over dramatic.... but she is so tender and sweet! The way she speaks is just mesmerizing! Her hugs are perfect. her hands are soooo soft. Her eyes so gorgeous. I love my little Livi!

Oh Livi....

no need to say more. she is a girl after her mommy's heart :)

Memories from 2008

I am in the midst of creating a photo book for Jake of his "3rd year"- 2008. I found these and they melted my heart! Olivia is so funny! What a quirky bunch we are in our family! :)

And, saving one of my favorite memories of Jake for last. This makes me really sad that my first blog was somehow deleted. It help hundreds of memories in posts. My honest and humble journaling as a mom with one little one, and then two little ones... photos... quotes from the kids... stories... ahhh!!! I can't believe I deleted it! I can't believe I am allowing myself to dwell on it and kick myself all over again......... :) Anyway- here is Jakey in his potty training stage, marching around the house nearly naked with firetruck gitchies on his head singing "I'm a treasure!" (meaning "I'm a pirate!"... oh what a treasure he is!)

Sam Sam Sam.... and more of Sam....

On Friday Sam turns 6 months. Here are some from today's "6 month portrait"
session He and I did... until he fell off the antique trunk I have.......
oops. Bad mommy!

I was setting up for a 7 month old's photo shoot today and snagged my little kids for some photos. Here is a typical Livi look- wild hair, lunch on her face, and a pretty dress!

I can't get over how big Jake is. He is turning 6 in 15 sleeps, after all.

And then there is Sam.... oh Sam...... how I love you! He is getting a 6 month shoot this week sometime, so I'll post more delicious photos of him then!
