Luke is One Year Already!

We just got back home from vacation late last night. I have tons of pics and funny stories from our trip to share with you but first I need to get some cute client kids teasers posted from last weekend before we left.

I still can’t believe that Luke is one already. It blows my mind. As usual he was an angel. A little faster on the crawl but still just as sweet as can be. I had a great time playing with him and mom and dad. Wonderful family!

Meet Matthew, Mama (and the Baby Belly)

I had a wonderful time Friday morning playing with Matthew. The weather was perfect. The location was beautiful. And we had the most incredible light shinning through the trees.

He loved the ducks and playing in the stream. The water was very chilly but I joined in the fun.

In a couple months he will be a big brother so we wanted to get some maternity images of mom before the baby comes. I really love the ones of Matthew and mom together. Such an incredible bond between mother and child. I love being able to share that moment with them. I know she will treasure these pictures. I have to laugh at the images of Matthew looking for the baby and checking out his own tummy. Totally crack me up!

Thanks so much mama for spending your morning with me. It was so wonderful to meet you both. I can’t wait to meet the new baby in a couple months! Hugs!

Jake and Tess-August 2010

I am constantly posting pics of cute little cherubs that belong to wonderful clients on the blog. Don’t get me wrong, I love all those little cherubs and all their wonderful families but I sometimes feel like I don’t share enough about me or my sweet little cherubs here.

Jake and Tess are getting so big! Here are a few new images and some things about them now…

(Tess is wearing a new outfit from the Field Trip line by Matilda Jane Clothing.)

They can be the best of friends sometimes (and the worst enemies others!)
They can now entertain each other for hours. They play restaurant, board games and DSI together. It is so cute to see them like this.
When we go out to the grocery store they almost always hold hands in the parking lot.
At night they HAVE to give each other kisses and hugs goodnight.
When Jake was gone with Mike this past weekend, Tess cried for Jake whenever she got tired.
If I put out the sprinkler and some buckets they will play together for hours in the water without a single argument.

She starts Pre-School in a couple weeks.
This little miss is four going on fourteen. No seriously.
She loves to play with stuffed animals. She dresses them and sets them all in a row and plays all sorts of make-believe games.
In the morning if she wakes up before I have gotten out of bed she will crawl in with me and cuddle. She says she needs to “lovey mommy”. I love it!
She is bossy, bull headed, smart mouthed, messy and man can she whine.
She NEVER stops talking. Literally.
They could torture criminals into confessing by playing recordings of her whining. (it is THAT bad. LOL)
She loves to color. She probably has 50+ coloring books and boxes of crayons.
She is ALL girl. She loves to dress up, twirl, wear heals and she loves to make beaded crowns and jewels.
She likes to say “I love it so much I am going to marry it” about everything. ie. her dolls, toys, hair, food, clothes and any other thing that catches her fancy.
You can’t even walk in her room most days.
Making her clean said room is more work for me than her.
When we go out people are always drawn to her. She makes friends so easily.
Her voice is so small and petite but she talks like she is 30 years old.

He starts second grade in two weeks.
He loves to laugh and goof around.
He is obsessed with video games.
He is a great big brother about 70% of the time.
No matter what time he goes to bed he is still my early riser (currently between 6:30-7am)
He hates to have his picture taken right now.
It might have something to do with the fact that he is missing a TON of teeth and doesn’t like to smile so you can see the holes.
He is very sensitive. At times TOO sensitive. We are working on that.
He is constantly singing, humming or making some kind of noise.
He sings in the car. He knows most of the words to the songs in my playlist.
He can hum almost any song in perfect key. Bach, Mozart, the Star Wars theme song, and Mario Bros. theme to name a few.
