Jack's Senior Pics

Here is my first attempt at Senior pictures. Jack and I headed downtown on the circle and then of course had to venture to Starbucks! His mom would agree, these pictures are totally Jack...personality and all. Becky, thank you so much for giving me the opportunity to capture these images for not only Jack but for you and your family.


I have many, many more I'll have to add to this post later. :)

scary episode

This weekend with Gavin was a scary one for us. He hadn't been himself for about 2 days and Friday was running a fever. The closer it got to bed time the worse he felt and was crying, grabbing his right ear. I called the peditrician on call and finally 2 hours later (and 3 more calls to page her!) she called back to prescribe numbing ear drops until he could be seen. Well, it was a night of him waking every 2 hours...by morning we had discovered the scary part for us. His right ear was bleeding! OMG, Josh and I both thought this is horrible; how could this have happened? Thinking we had to rush off to the ER, we called my brother in law (who is a doctor ;o). Thankfully it was a really bad ear infection, and so bad it had ruptured (causing the bleeding). Gavin is now doing so much better thanks to antibiotics...and some extra hugs and kisses, of course.

These pics are from last week before our scary episode. The first 2 you've already seen, but these are in color. I've got the neighbors son's prom pics next!

My lovely neighbor Becky has asked me to take her son's Senior pictures and I am so honored to do so! Her wonderful daughter Rachel has a Nikon D80 and it's FABULOUS!!!! I had to play around with it before Jack's shoot and I'm in love.

Here is a little taste of what I got of Gavin enjoying an apple. ...more to come!

Happy 31st Birthday...

...to my amazing husband. I love you.

For those of you that haven't heard...

My apologies for being MIA lately!! I've been horrible about taking pictures these last few months. Now that the 1st trimester is over, the nausea has subsided but the low energy is still there. I'm sure Gavin has nothing to do with that!

These days Gavin is a busy boy. He doesn't sit still for long (he never did). It's been so hard to get any good pictures of him. He wants to behind the camera; he literally takes it from me and takes pictures! I can't believe he is going to be 2 1/2 in just 2 weeks. He is the most hilarious lil' guy but gosh darn is he the strongest willed kid I've ever met! I'm hoping baby #2 is a little more laid back/go with the flow type child. ;o)

Gavin took his lawn chair & decided to sit in it in his sandbox!

No more riding in the wagon, this boy pulls it for about a miles straight, no joke!
