Zachary and Taylor Grace

Zachary is a little boy that enjoys all the things that little boys do. Running, looking for bugs and playing in water.

Taylor Grace is all girl. She is bows and bracelets and sweet little smiles.

And mom loves every minute of both their world!

Lula

I do love checking the mail!  You never know when a package might arrive from my glamorous, jet setting sister from Hollywood.  It is usually toys or awesome clothes for the kids.  Well today, it was the most beautiful jewelry for Rox, Danielle and me!

I received the earrings that are topaz.  My birthstone.  Rox received the bracelet with the word ‘dream’ and a brilliant purple gemstone.  Danielle ran off with her necklace so I did not get to capture it today.

Her shop will be named after our paternal grandmother.  We both love her name and I was hoping to one day name another little girl after her.  But for now, Kathie’s jewelry shop will suffice.  Here are two pieces from Kathie’s store… LULA.

Ramsey and Makenna

I have not seen these two in almost a year.  In the words of my dad, “These two, are just plum pretty”.

Emily’s Belly

Emily and Adam are getting ready for baby Madeleine to make her appearance in just a few short weeks!

This is my first belly where the belly button is an outie. Love it!

Adam is laughing so hard at Emily that it is causing Emily to laugh just as hard. Madeleine is going to have lots of fun with these two.

Rose Child Care Center

I spent Weds. morning photographing the kiddies at Rose’s. Rox and Elliott also attend Rose and they both love it. When I go pick them up in the afternoon, they are usually covered in that day’s activities. Some days it’s glitter. Some day, shaving cream. Some day, paint.

Every day, I am met with big huge smiles. What more can a working mom and aunt ask for!

I wish I could blog all the happy faces. Here are a few images of the fun we had that morning.

Aurora and Amelia are best buddies. I got the picture frame idea from Jeannie who is one of the owners of the awesome shop Miss Mandys. Thanks for the idea.

No need to frame your picture. It already comes with a frame!

Sweet little Elliott.

Rox being Rox!

The M Family

The kids wanted to dress themselves and mom said ok.  Spidergirl is not making a special appearance just because it is close to Halloween.  No, spidergirl is year round at the M family’s home.

Ashley.

Powell.

Amelia.

Presley.

Uh oh.  Mommy and Daddy looks like they might be working on number five.

Logan

It’s sweet Logan with the luscious lips again. She looks like daddy but is rocking mommy’s style and perfection!

Check out the monogram and the bling bling.

I can not get enough of this shot! The look in mommy’s eyes… pure joy and contentment with her baby girl.

While Logan was getting changed, I picked up her cute little yellow outfit to take a peek at the designer label. Expecting to see ‘Icky Baby’ or ‘Janie and Jack’. Nope. Turns out Logan has her own line of Haute Couture fashion specially made and tailored for her slim body. Nana Boo is her designer and her Grandma.

Grand Opening of the Carriage House at Goodwood

My love affair with Goodwood began back in 1998. The purchase of my first home called for a rose garden. A friend suggested I checked out Goodwood for heirloom roses. The minute I drove down the long driveway to Goodwood and saw the moss hanging down giant oak trees, I was in love. I immediately signed up to volunteer in the rose garden on Saturday mornings with other Rose Society members. Since I was the newbie, I got a lot of the chores that newbies tend to get. But I did not mind, becuase I learned so much and the scenery was beautiful.

Today, Goodwood opened the new Carriage House to the public. I took Bruce, Rox and my two nephews, Johnnie and Elliott, to enjoy the festivities.

We first had to go for ice cream. Chocolate for everyone.

Baby horsies, mommmmyyyyyyy!

Time to go for a spin on the carriage ride.

The new Carriage House is ready and open for weddings!

The view from the inside of the Carriage house. Spectacular.

Liam

Liam is now four months old and already rolling over like a pro!

Amber’s Belly Shot

Everyone experiences pregnancy differently. I was constantly nauseous when I was carrying Rox. Food was the only thing that made it better. Needless to say, I gained 40 pounds.

Amber is sick every morning and is always sipping on ginger ale. She has lost five pounds.

Congratulations to Glenn and Amber! Your baby will be so loved by so many people.
