Party Planning

Someone is turning THREE in less than two weeks.  Miss Teagan is having a Yo Gabba Gabba themed party - she was very excited to get the invites in the mail!  How can my baby be three already?

One Month!!!

Declan is one month old today!  I can't believe it, where has the time gone?  It has been a great month, that is for certain.  I can't wait to see what each and every month brings!

Family Photos

The result of my Mother's Day photo shoot.  I LOVE these photos!  I still may do more with edits and mainly cropping, since they were taken with a tripod there is no uniqueness to the composition and framing, but that can be fixed with a little crop work.  For now, here they are!

First, some family shots:

Here are some additional photos we took:

And finally, a few practice shots and outtakes worth sharing:

Mother's Day 2011

I was surprised on Mother's Day with breakfast in bed made by Teagan and Matt.  It was a great start to a perfect day.  Part of my gift was a photo shoot Matt wanted to give me to get some photos of myself with my two kids - a much appreciated gift from a photography lover such as myself!  We were also able to use the tripod and timer to get some family photos which was even better!  We enjoyed the nice weather with a walk and playing outside, a picnic dinner on the deck, and I even managed a short nap!  It was a perfect day spent with my favorite people!

Pretties

In honor of Mother's Day - some nature shots from around the yard this weekend...

(confession - the gorgeous tulips are *technically* in my neighbor Dave's yard.  The pear blossoms are my own though!)

Mish Mash

Just some random photos of my cuties!  And yes, I did take pictures of Declan in Teagan's doll bed!

Bath time!
