We went to the pool today.  It was Clary’s first time in a pool!  She LOVED it.  I meant to take my big camera for the milestone, but alas, I forgot.  I was able to get some underwater fun shots thanks to my son’s LifeProof case.  Not too shabby…



For most of us, photographer or not, it’s not always easy or enjoyable to get a good photograph of our own children.  As a matter of fact it can be down right miserable!  This year I told my children that their Mother’s Day gift to me was not only a wonderful picture of them together, but that the experience of getting that image would also be good.  I know, it’s a lot to ask!  I have to say that I’m a happy mother this year and I can’t wait to have this on my wall!  🙂

And look at our ClaireBear!  She’s sitting up for long periods of time now.  🙂



This girl is awesome.  Of course I’m biased, but really…she is always happy and smiley!  And I don’t remember any of my kids learning milestones as fast as she is.  I can hardly keep up!   She rolled from back to front at 3 1/2 months, rolled over to her belly to sleep at 4 1/2 months, and she is now sitting up for about 15 seconds at a time (unassisted) at just under 5 months!  She is crazy.  🙂



Our littlest family member is 4 months old!  She rolls like crazy and talks up a storm! Her newest thing is that she loves to sit up. She can only sit for a few seconds balancing on her hands, but she loves to sit up on laps and in her Bumbo seat. Whoever invented that is awesome! Here she is on my new little set up at the studio. Crazy colorful and so much fun!



This week has been a whirlwind week of things to do and sick kids to attend to.  Today seemed to be the light at the end of the tunnel, but another one bit the dust when I found him passed out in my bed with a fever.  Just in time for the weekend, woohoo!  (can you hear the sarcasm?)  I hope this passes fast for him.

On a different note, I will be out of town Friday afternoon through Saturday.  I can be reached by email only during this time.  Meanwhile, don’t forget to keep those Single Parent nominations coming!  Deadline is the 15th.
