Oh Atlantic!

I hear you calling! Your warm blue waves crashing on the shore. Golden gleaming sand, toasty beneath my feet. Umbrella shades, picnic lunch, sunblock and sand toys. Boogie boarding for hours and rolling in the waves. Sand eating babies and sleeping in the shade. A beautiful day full of fun, friends and excitement. You're beckoning my return!

First Big Coaster

Prince Charming

This little guy is 4 and loves life! His favorite thing to do is play
legos. He loves his baby sister (almost too much!) He loves Elliana
just like Ella loved him. He is constantly reminding us of Ella, with
many things he says and does. He talks about her and asks about her
often. He likes to be one of the big boys and often forgets he is only
4. Joseph is curious and incredibly smart. He is so funny and
constantly keeps us laughing. He definitely knows how to melt my heart!

The Little Princess

This little babe had a (6 month) photo shoot a few months back. She was a bit closer to 8 months by the time we actually got to it. With ear infections and life, it just didn't happen as early as planned. Now, months later, I am finally posting some of these beautiful pictures. She wasn't the happiest of campers this day, but with a patient and talented photograhper snapping away, we came out with so many shots that I loved, it was hard to narrow it down to my favorites! This girl has so much personality. She is also such a calm and peaceful baby. We are totally in love with her. 

 

 

Easter

 Joseph before his preschool egg hunt. He was so excited!

 Easter morning! We did our traditional egg dying Saturday night, then woke up to hidden eggs and treats from the Easter Bunny. The boys love the hunt.

 After multiple shots, this was the best we were going to get. Elliana wasn't dressed yet, but the boys were just about ready to go.

 I had to take a pic of my cute husband. He even agreed to wear the bowtie I made for him. He must really love me. I think it makes him look very studious. Does it make him look like a grad student?

little photog

Anson has always enjoyed taking pictures. We were playing at the park, when he decided I needed some pictures with Elliana. I am not in pictures as often because I am usually behind the camera snapping pics. Thanks Anson and great job!

7 months old

*I thought I had posted this... months ago!

This little girl turned 7 months (March 21st) She is so much fun and really spoiled by everyone. Her brothers can't really get enough of this giggly, joyful girl.

 This past month has been a little rough for the little doll. She has had several ear infections and we discovered she shared something more than this dress with her big sister... she is allergic to penicillin.

 Within a matter of hours she was covered from head to toe in hives. She handled it pretty well, happy regardless of the hives. We will be attacking ear infections differently from now on.
