Little walker

She took her first steps the day before she turned one. Now she walks around the house (maybe more like stumbles around the house) But she's getting better! She still prefers crawling, especially if she wants to get somewhere fast, but I often catch her practicing her walking. She's quite mobile these days. Sneaking towards the stairs every moment she can, unloading drawers and cabinets in the kitchen. She loves to tease and play. It's so much fun to have this girl around. She lives to giggle and laugh. She has such a personality!

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?

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!
