Madison way back when...{film}

My brother took this picture of my daughter Madison back when she was 5 (i think). I just love this photo! Was reminiscing over old photos. She is now almost 14. How time flies.

When I count My Blessings, I count you Twice!!

When I count my blessings, I count you twice!!
Just a little bit of difference between the two...
When I count My Blessings, I count you Twice!!

I thought the butterfly on Kate's clothes were cute!!

And I couldn't decide which I liked better, so here they both are.

I love these long stretches I get to stay home. 7 days off!! Tomorrow is my last and then it's work work work till christmas. Getting to stay home w/ my family for so many days in a row is such a blessing. Makes me feel like a SAHM for a week. I love that!

Yesterday, I was typing away on the computer when she pushed my hand out of the way and pointed to the E and said "E." AMAZING!! She makes me smile every day. :D

THESE LITTLE PIGGIES

These Little Piggies...
loooove to run! I got her to hold still for a minute (bribed her w/ an episode of Caillou) so I could snap a few shots of these feet...that are getting soooo big. where does the time go? pretty soon she'll be borrowing my shoes like big sister does (that is if they're still cool) :D

Like I said earlier I wanted to work on just taking a few SOOC (straight out of camera) photos for a bit. All of these top photos are just that, however the light dimmed just as I asked Katie for a smile, so my white balance was off on the bottom photo and I couldn't resist to touch it up a bit. Oh well, that's just me ;D

Kate's Breakfast Smile
She's getting so good at using her spoon and fork like a big girl. She calls the spoon a "poon" HAHA!! and a fork a "fauk" HeeHee

Imperfect Beauty

Outside of my box for a while. My sister in law is inspiring me YET AGAIN to think outside the box. No editing my photos for a bit. Looking for the beauty in /of flaws.

A Letter to Katie

Little Striped Hat (take II)

Dear Katelynn,
Mommy and Daddy are not quite ready for you to stop taking your naps. Please reconsider. Naps are very good for building strong healthy happy babies!! :D

All our love,
Mommy and Daddy
