Heaven Sent

Ten years ago today, God sent me an angel straight from heaven! She's as beautiful on the inside as she is on the outside. Happy Birthday Baby Girl!

Ready, Set, Smile!!!

What do you get when you have a big sister who is a

natural in front of the camera,

and a little brother who is along for the ride because

Mom said that's the way it's gonna be?

PURE MAGIC!

It's no secret here. When it comes to posing for the camera, Emma sure knows

how to bring out the best in her little brother, Nolan! What a joy!

Big sister Emma, sweet and right at home in front of the camera, did a good job of showing little brother Nathaniel how to strike a pose!

Nathaniel is a very lively and charming little boy! He brought his own

brand of 2 year old fun to the photo session!

Baby cousin Miles is such a content little guy, sure to bring miles of smiles where ever he goes!

Chelsea

Chelsea has one of those smiles that lights up the whole room... and she has the kind of personality that just makes you feel good to be around! She is as beautiful on the inside as she is on the out! And Chelsea, I agree, we should get together and do this every week! I really enjoyed your session! (Please click on photos to view larger.)

Berries and Bunnies

This week we went strawberry picking and had so much fun. The instant we pulled in my kids were all about the petting farm they had at Middleton Berry Farm in Ortonville, MI. I promised after we were done picking strawberries we would visit the animals. As soon as they realized they could pick up the baby bunnies (which were also for sale... they even sell the pens for your new family member!) the novelty of harvesting their very own strawberries quickly faded and they immediately shifted into "but Mama, they are so cute...I'll feed them everyday...can we get 2?" mode. Good thing I packed my "NO! POWERS"!

The good people at Middleton Berry Farm are so friendly and helpful! We had a wonderful time! We will definate be back next year! (please click on any photo to view larger)

I have picked so many strawberries I will now become one with the berry patch!


Check out my new bearings... Hey Mom, get it berry + earing???

Tommy- "Good thing you have special 'NO' powers Mama, because we are CUTE!"
