SNOW...

Can you tell little Miss Piper loves snow? She was so excited when she saw it coming down! She calls it "NO"! I love this photo...I think it really captured her joy!

A GREAT SESSION!

I had a great session today! A really nice family with just the most beautiful kids! A sneak peek...I have about 20 more favorites to edit...I have not even gotten to the ones of their son (he is just as cute!) Many more to come!!!!

THE VIEW FROM HERE...

What a big world it is up there!

PORTRAITS OF MOLLY BEAN

I took some photos of our "hair child" today. She is so very special to us and I wanted photos that really captured her for the sweet, loving bean she is. Now I can't decide between the black and white or color...any opinions???

READING TO FRIENDS... A favorite spot and a good book

are best enjoyed in the company

of good friends.

JUST FOR FUN...

THE LOVELY YEARS...

Tonight's photos remind me of my favorite song...

Those were the days when we had childish dreams

We’d run through the house chasing our cares away

Turn on the sprinklers, we’d roll in the evening grass

laughing until we cried

And I loved the lovely years

No worries - no fears

Oh what a great life

This is the best time-holding our child all day

He gives me a smile and mends every tear in me

And I love the lovely years

First words and steps are here

Oh what a great life

And when we’re old

we’ll sit and repeat ourselves telling our favorite stories

And we’ll love the lovely years

Remembering all the years of such a great life

And we’ll love the lovely days

They’ll never fade away

Just look in my eyes

OUR BIG NEWS!

Sunday was our family’s annual Christmas ornament exchange. Usually we exchange ornaments on Thanksgiving but this year my little sister Hayley, and her husband Ben, are vacationing in South Africa for Ben’s 30th birthday so they will not be here for Thanksgiving. Before dinner Hayley and Ben brought out 2 Red glitter boxes and asked everyone to sit down. Ray and I received a box and my mom received a box. We were all asked to watch a DVD …Words and magical sounding music came on the screen. It had Tinker Bell and a night time back drop of Peter pan with snow falling. The words said…

“Think of a wonderful thought, any happy little thought, this Christmas, Pack your bags, you are going to ENGLAND!!!!!”


We all were stunned! My mom and I both cried! We then opened our boxes which contained plane tickets, a full itinerary and gift certificates for 6 nights at the Sofitel St. James in London and 3 nights at the Headland Hotel in New Quay with full ocean view rooms! This is the Hotel where Roald Dahl’s movie “The Witches” was filmed! They also included a 2 week stay for our dog Molly at a pet spa!!! My dad was in on the surprise and presented us with train tickets for our transportation from town to town, 3 nights at the White Hart Hotel in Kingston. $100 for Piper to spend at the Roald Dahl Museum and Story Centre, tickets to Hampton Court Palace, A gift Certificate for Ray and himself to a Brewery Tour while my mom, Piper and I attend high tea!

For those of you who don’t know my youngest sister Elyse is finishing her last year of college in Kingston, England (just outside of London) So we will be able to spend Christmas with her! Hayley and Ben will not be coming with us…they are visiting Elyse for a few days on there way back from Africa.

We are still stunned!!! What an amazing gift! It is such a unbelievable opportunity for us…I am not sure if there are words to express just how truly excited and grateful we are!!!!
