We can't get enough of her wide eyes!

What a cutie!

Happy New Year!! 2010!!!!

This was going to be a guest post from my husband. But he's too busy being Tom Hanks.



Compliments of The Burbs which he got in his Christmas stocking. If you have ever heard us talk about where we live you'll understand. And he's a huge fan of Tom Hanks. My new year's resolutions tomorrow - I promise!

Baby feet

I love little baby feet!

Jennifer & Lyla: First Christmas

It's good to be related.

Avery & Lyla: the good pic.

Avery & Lyla: outtake #231.

{ps. A little silver & gold for the upcoming new year! wink wink}

Welcome to the world baby girl!

My sister & her husband welcomed their first baby on Wednesday October 21st @ 11:26pm. Lyla Elizabeth weighed 7lb 11oz! Mom, baby & dad are doing quite well! I cannot wait til I get to hold her, snuggle her and ofcourse photograph her! And Avery is so excited to have a playmate!

Jen's Baby Shower

Avery had a great time!

My grandmother was looking & feeling better! Go Nana!

The theme of the day (& nursery) was lady bugs.

Jen + a gift!


Jen and all her fabulous college friends who came to celebrate the day with her!

They're having a baby!

And we couldn't be happier! Avery's getting a cousin sometime in October! We were all in town for my sister's baby shower and I snapped a few pregnancy shots ahead of time. I can't wait to meet my niece though I may not get down there til the holidays (work is keeping me busy with travelling this year). But a two month old will be fun to photograph! Congratulations again; love ya!

The best of friends!

Becks & I have been friends for years; circa 7th grade? So it's only natural that our babies would be the best of friends too . . .

In all fairness this was pre-nap where neither of them wanted to pose for the camera! No worries; we are already planning a 2nd playdate!

Cute at 2 weeks!!!

These are pictures of a friend's beautiful new baby: Baby Owen. I can't believe Avery was that little ~ 2 weeks!! I was so excited to take pics of a newborn. I was so sleep deprived when Avery was that little, turning on the camera was an accomplishment! I have to think Elise would agree w/ me, the "photo session" will be memorable. Imagine, myself, Elise, Owen, Charlotte & Avery all hanging out for a photo session . . . Elise and I just needed to grow a few more arms and it would have been easy-peasy . . . PS I have pics at the end of the day, Avery looking oh so tired on the grass and Charlotte trying to escape via the wooden gate!

Beautiful summer day!

We took some photos of Avery's friend Jack last week. She took charge of the cheerios while I took charge of the camera. The colors and scenery in their yard couldn't have been more spectacular! All the wood w/ the greenery made for a fantastic background! Oh and being photogenic helps too! We were able to sneak in a couple of rounds of baseball. Thanks Jack for being such a trooper!

I've won I've won . . . a major award!

Check out the 2 awards my very talented husband received this Spring! He writes in the public relations department for his company; and he does a very good job! I can attest these are genuine and very heavy awards.

PS I've fielded a few questions how I get the pics & wording to line up so neatly: I always select large photo center and I upload the photos first in the compose section and type around the pics. There is no wrap around this way. Once it's in you can edit photos and add more in the HTML section.

All but the kitchen sink . . .

As promised here's the kitchen island Scott put together! It looks great and gives us that extra amt of space we need! It also hides those cookbooks Avery was getting into. She has yet to discover they are there. Oh and the final pic is Avery eating spaghetti w/ meat sauce. She LOVED it, is an understatement of the year. We are trying to teach her to eat off her plate w/out throwing the plate overboard. Much success! We went to Anthony's in Malvern and Avery made friends with everyone there. Two nights in a row of Italian made for a very poopy diaper! All credits go to Kristin for the kitchen island tip at Big Lots and the great review of Anthony's. Check out her blog here; scroll down to see her blog "rant" about McMansions that made it to the letter to editor in American Bungalow magazine! We love you Kristin! Oh the applause, the applause!

The young at heart.

A tribute to Scott's great aunt who got to spend time hanging out with Avery this Easter. You will be missed greatly.

Olivia

I am just smitten with black & white photography lately. Especially with babies. Here are some pics of Olivia @ 1 month. So precious . . . I forgot how little Avery was!!! Thanks so much, Alicia, for letting me hold her!!! Can't wait til she and Avery have playdates!

We meet Giada!

I finally got to meet Rebecca's sweet baby, Giada!!! {We were Beck & Beck in high school; formerly known as B&B clean up etc . . .} Giada was so awake & playful. For 8 weeks old she sure knew how to capture the camera lens! Avery was fascinated by the baby and the cat. She explored the place w/ snack trap in hand, leaving a trail of cheerios as she went. She managed to sneak her hand in a few of the photographs as she was intrigued by the buttons on Giada's sweater. Can't wait til they are older and can have playdates!! Thanks Beck for entertaining us!

A Day at the Museum

Avery's first glance at the yellow cab . . .

Where A Night at the Museum was filmed:

Avery playing with her second cousins; don't they look really busy? I love how Avery just joined in!

We hope this is the first of many trips to NYC, spending time with cousins, and taking in a little culture :) Thanks Jen, Bill, Denny & William for a great time!!!!

And baby makes 3!

And baby makes 3! Thanks Alicia for letting me "practice!" Can't wait til your sweet baby is here!
