Sandy Paws at Cole Couture

Cole Couture is the  exclusive carrier of Sandy Paws dog collars.

Kristin the designer and creator of each piece did it out of love for her Isabella.  A chocolate lab that was very much loved by Kristin, family and friends.  She went to doggie heaven and Kristin wanted to do this for her.

All profits go to doggie charities.

*Trivia:  Cole Couture is named after another chocolate lab, who is Isabella’s brother.*

You know Cole Couture is a fresh clothing store when this is what the bell ringer looks like.  Love it!

John Ford

John Ford is seven months old.  He is so alert that you just know that he is comprehending everything going on around him.

Mom and dad can’t help but to be smitten with their little boy.  Mom has already pre-arranged his marriage to beuatiful Gabby in Miami.  Dad wants him to date just a little more first before settling down.  Men!

These are the smallest True Religions I’ve ever seen.

Heart Breakers.

Lawson

Daddy has it all figured out for his little boy.  Star quarterback for the NFL or a pro skater.  See, Lawson, you kinda get a say on what you want to be.

Mom just wants you to be her little baby forever.

Lawson at four weeks old.

He’s sleep kissing.

And the very last shot I was able to capture him smiling.

Now for some fun.  During the photo shoot when we had Lawson all nice and naked, he was able to get in a number one and a number two!  Guess who was able to um, catch it all.

Kami Saige

Kami Saige is five weeks old.  Going by too fast for mom.  She wants her to stay just like this for a lot longer.

Her Aunt Jamie presented her with the fuschia dress this past weekend.  Sleeping Beauty.

Mommy is smitten over her little girl.

The pink bonnet belonged to Kami’s mommy when she was little.

Paige Katherine

She made it just in time for mom, dad and big brother, Jack to ring in the New Year as a family of four.

And it does not hurt that she will be another little deductible for 2009!

Not sure this is suppose to go over my eyes.

One big happy family.

Jack is going to teach her all about Spider Man and Electric Man and mom can throw all those dreams of having a little girlie princess out the door and join me in reality world of Incredible Hulk t-shirts.

Our support group meets once a month.  See you soon.

Nothing can be better than to know your babies are happy and loved.

Nursery for Two

This is genius.  Mom wanted to keep the third room in the house, the playroom.  So for Paige’s nursery, she gets to share with her big brother, Jack.

Mom brought the room together with the cohesive use of the color green.  It tied together the pink and blue very nicely.

All the furniture is from Pottery Barn.  The stylish drapes made with love by Nana.

The decals are all from Target.

Paige’s Nana and her mommy was rocked in the chair when they were babies.  Now it’s Paige’s turn.

Crib bedding is also the handiwork of Nana.  It must be nice to have talent like this related to you.

Best little night light.  You just touch it to turn it on.  From Target.

When Mommy was a little girl, she had her Loli doll.  Look closely and you will see a picture of Mommy when she was a baby.  Looks just like Paige.

Why oh why did I not come up with this idea.

Instead of buying a booster chair or keeping the high chair longer than is needed, you get one of these.  It lifts up a regular chair and now big brother Jack fits perfectly at the family table.

Cayer Behavioral Group

This group of hard working women came by the studio for their headshots.  They specialize in providing behavior analytic programs for children diagnosed with Autism and other developmental delays.

I also found out that they will help to potty train your toddler.  I wish I had known this about a year ok.  It would of been worth every penny to get some help in that area.

The Boss Lady, Krista.

Sara and Amanda.

Emily and Nisha.

Ellen & Bobby

They met 10 years ago at work and Ellen was immediately smitten over her dashing young co-worker.  They knew from the beginning that this day would get here… their wedding day.

Ellen had the fairy tale princess dress.  Oh so pretty and dramatic.

Their first dance.  Everyone was inside the cottage.  They were alone on the front porch together dancing to ‘To Make You Feel My Love’ by Adele.

“When the evening shadows
And the stars appear
And there is no one there
To dry your tears
I could hold you
For a million years
To make you feel my love”

And some Magic to end the night… Magic Shots.

Redheaded Sweetheart Contest

It’s almost February so it’s time for our annual Redheaded Sweetheart Contest!

This year, prizes include gift cards from Grammy and Gee, Loli and the Bean and Food Glorious Food.  Plus a photo session with me and a beautiful brag book of your little redhead.

The winner will be chosen from a panel of highly qualified gushing moms.

Good Luck!


Wood

That is the traditional present for the fifth year anniversary.  Ok, Bruce, quit making those Beavis and Butthead noises.  I would like a rose bush, preferably a David Austin rose bush.  muah!

Yes, I can’t believe we have been married for five whole years!

We did not have a wedding or honeymoon because practical me wanted to put all our money into rental units (which he says he loves about me).  And then we had a little get together with all our friends that ended up at Paradise.  I’m just classy that way.  Hey, our rental units are two blocks away from FSU stadium.  Cha-Ching.

Here we are five years ago, newly married.

And Bruce’s all time favorite picture of himself.  That’s my sister and my friend Alison.  He thinks he such a player here but me and all our friends know that he is a computer geek and a player of World of Warcraft.  Play on Player.

p.s.  thanks for loving rox, danielle, johnnie, thomas elliot and me.  you will never know how much you mean to us.
